fess up friday - lekalia interiors

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First Fess Up Friday of the new year people. Can I get a "what what"! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today I'm excited to have my friend Leslie of <a href="http://lekaliainteriors.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lekalia Interiors</a> over. You probably already know Leslie from her amazing <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LekaliaInteriors?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">store on Etsy</a> but you should also know that Leslie is a triple threat in the design world. Girlfriend can design a pretty fab room, reupholster the furniture to go in said fab room and then top it all off with pillows she's made herself. Just check out some of her work <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/lekalia/pillow-love-by-lekalia-interiors" target="_blank">here</a>. I'm thinking Leslie, you need to live closer to me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ShXjkVUq4ceMXz6IS0HkkB_6oY421I808w2bQIwBRcbGfZd1q7Aw6WIAIdBI_vlf7lqRXG6WlS3bwITayfAEyeUs-jygsnf3iRnJr7o-l_IzEUsoFEMoXKlLDFa2hpTBJbtq2UoUXF3a/s1600/FessUpFridaylogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ShXjkVUq4ceMXz6IS0HkkB_6oY421I808w2bQIwBRcbGfZd1q7Aw6WIAIdBI_vlf7lqRXG6WlS3bwITayfAEyeUs-jygsnf3iRnJr7o-l_IzEUsoFEMoXKlLDFa2hpTBJbtq2UoUXF3a/s1600/FessUpFridaylogo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hi Everyone!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I'm so excited that Elizabeth asked me to participate in Fess Up Friday! I love reading her blog and love that she tells it like it is.  I mean, she had me at 'ruh roh' (during <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2013/06/freshening-foyer-part-2.html">this post</a>) and what's better than laughing and smiling and learning along with the blogs that you read? Nuttin!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> So my little thing that I want to 'fess up' to today is my <i>tray obsession</i>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
