Rue Two

today issue #2 of Rue Magazine came out. it was the most perfect cure for this gloomy, rainy, monday morning. i sat in bed and oogled every single page. it was amazing. the second half of it even more so (the first half seemed to be a lot of things other than home decor). the vignette shots in this magazine are absolutely to die for and trust me, i saved them all. but for now, i will share some of my favorite rooms.




if you havent done so already, check out issue 2!

thank you for appeasing me


thank you everyone who took my little survey! i so so appreciate it. so here is what i learned:

-people who don’t live in chicago dont like reading chicago related posts (understandable)

-50% of you found my blog via sources i know nothing about. can you share? where did you come across things that sparkle first?

- and lastly, some of you would like to follow things that sparkle on twitter, do it! theres a little linky on the right hand side where you can do this. or click here

enjoy the last little bits of your weekend! and dont forget to check out Rue first thing in the morning for issue #2!
