Jonathan Adler comes to Atlanta
Finally! The long-awaited Jonathan Adler store is opening in Atlanta. I was able to get a sneak peek tonight right before I attended the Switch Modern Spotlight on Design event, thanks to Liz Lapidus PR.
Before I show you the images, let me just say that the store is gorgeous! My pictures definitely don’t do it justice.
I’m looking forward to spending more time in this inspiring store tomorrow night during the grand opening event, and I’m even more excited about getting to meet Jonathan himself!

Tortellini with Lemon Cream Sauce
1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Begin cooking fresh tortellini according to package directions.
In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add in heavy cream and bring to a boil. Once you've reached a boil, reduce the heat to medium. Add in the juice of one lemon, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Taste the sauce to check for salt and pepper. I like a lot of pepper in my cream sauce and if it doesn't taste savory enough, it probably needs more salt.
Allow the sauce to bubble lightly until it reaches your desired consistency. Once you are happy with the thickness of your sauce, reduce the heat to low until your tortellini is ready.
Drain tortellini and add to the large saucepan. Toss to coat. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, freshly grated black pepper and a slice of lemon.

Link Party No. 47! / I am in love with...
...this fabric. I was at a quilt shop last week, and found this laminated cotton. I have several ideas what to make with it, but I haven't really decided yet.
One of my friends loves this color combination, and I guess it rubbed off on me. It is so cute!
I have been busy sewing baby blankets to donate last week, and I am going to finish one of my quilt tops to donate. My friend is going to do a fund raising event for Japan on April 9th, I am not exactly sure, but it sounds like it will be a big yard sale and such. I wanted to help in some ways, so I decided to donate one of my quilts for a drawing. I am thinking if someone spends or donates more than a certain amount, their names will be put in the box for drawing.
A close friend of mine agreed to help me with the machine quilt, so it will be done by that day. The quilt I am donating is this one...
I wrote a post about this quilt top in June of 2009, and never got around to quilting it. I love the quilt top, but I am more excited that it will be used for something good.
I will let you know more details about the fund raising event, when I hear from my friend. So, if you are in the Utah county area, mark the calendar on April 9th!
Now, go ahead and link up to our weekly party! Visit each other, leave comments and have fun. :)
1. Please post something YOU made. It doesn't matter if it is crochet, quilt, clothing, anything would be fine. I want to see it! If you use someone's idea or patterns please give them the rightful credit.
2. Link to your specific post, that way it is easier for everybody to find and read it.
3. Please grab the "Tea Rose Home" grab button, and link back from your post. If you can mention the party in your post or place the button on your side bar, that would be great! I want more people to have a chance to come and show off their creation.
Show us what you've done!!

Spring Purchase
My friend Samantha had these on the other week and I immediately knew I "needed" them. So this weekend I made my first(ish) Spring purchase...They are comfortable and I believe money well spent. Plus, with every purchase Toms donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need.

A little something more...
I thought I was finished. I really did. But the more I looked at this red chest of drawers, the more I thought it needed a little something more...
