p.s.  The BIGGEST question I got asked on Friday!

First, thanks for ALL your wonderful emails and tweets on Friday when our latest segments aired on the Nate Berkus Show!  Your excitement and enthusiasm always means SO MUCH!  A number of you asked me a question that I was NOT expecting and just made me smile!  “Where did I find my sweater and white blouse?”  I didn’t see that question coming, and yet it came all weekend!  🙂  Your going to be so frustrated with my answer because the white blouse is a piece I bought in Thailand’s open markets.  I think it was $2.50.  And I for the life of me can’t remember where I got the red/cranberry wrap sweater from.  Better start making notes for the future!  LOL!
