About Me
- La Dolfina
- I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.

LOVE! I need to get to Trader Joes. xx
Some of my favourite flowers, so so pretty! Have a great weekend Therese! xo
LOVE them! I'll be near Traders tomorrow. Will have to pick up a bunch!
oh, yeah, baby!
I'm so bummed that we don't have a TJ's near here. My daughter lives in St. Louis and is there daily! These are some of my favorite flowers, so beautiful!

Nothing like Trader Joes for just about anything but their flowers are the best and the cheapest. Love the pretty blooms you got. Did you see the daffodils. I got 5 bunches last week at $1.19 you can not go wrong!! Enjoy your lovely flowers and Happy First day of Spring to you and yours, my loving friend, Kathysue
Beautiful flowers. Trader Joe's...I get so envious of all the fabulous places you have that don't exist here in Canberra. I'm just going to have to visit one day! Enjoy your lengthening days as ours get shorter.
ok....running out the door now!!!!! heading to my local senor joes...
pink ranunculus here i come!
:)
Thank heavens! We had a week of 60's and it was heaven.I need to buy myself some spring flowers....yours are so sweet. XO
Such a pretty color. I keep hearing such good things about Trader Joe's and there may actually be one opening not to far away.
They are lovely (and so much more expensive back here in Finland...)
my favorite! need to go today then!!
AHHHHHH, so nice to see these pretty spring flowers along with your seashell soaps against that gorgeous raffia wall after being stuck in the snow for a week! Just what I needed to see!! Oh how I've missed reading what you've been up to! I am so glad to catch up. xo
kellie
