This is a bill of Marilyn Monroe’s for champagne and a nice bottle too! It sold recently at the auction house Bonhams for $397 (which seems somehow both expensive and cheap). I’m not crazy about memorabilia, but this is so small, and so glamorous, it would be perfect as part of my fantasy gallery wall. See much more of Marilyn over at The English Muse, who is always finding wonderful things.
Let’s see: I’m getting into a routine with Alex, who is growing like a weed, which is wonderful. Tim went back to work last week, so I took it slow and spent days watching the second and third season of The Office. Pam and Jim’s love story had me riveted to the couch. I’m hoping to be back to blogging more regularly, and reading my favorite blogs more regularly too!

Little paper oddments like these are some of my favorite things … I guess it’s sort of leveling to know that even the most glamorous and famous still deal with things like receipts.
Glad to hear you and Alex and Tim are finding your way …
Hi Abby! If you’re looking for a show, I just watched all three seasons of Friday Night Lights. So good!
Great choice!
Have you read about the Marilyn auction in Los Angeles this weekend? There are some great furniture and decor items she picked up in Mexico for her Spanish style home in Los Angeles. My favorites are the stools with tasseled cushions.
I just did a little write up about it on my blog…

the office is PERFECT for hanging with a baby–funny and compelling and not to loud

Hi lovey! Such a sweet post in so many ways. I’m happy to see you and Alex are getting into a nice routine. Though bebe isn’t born yet, she seems to be on her own, somewhat regular schedule, which includes sleeping during the day, bouncing around a bit in the late afternoon, and then some serious acrobatics at about 11p.m. So I’ve got a night owl on my hands! Send me your addy, please?! I have a little something for you. xo
Oooo. So perfectly understated. J’adore!
I used to get all my libations at Briggs – which is what Pearson’s changed its name to. A great little place, just blocks from Marilyn’s place (used to ride my bike by there from time to time) that, sadly, just closed down.
