blogger spotlight - along came splendor













Today, the spotlight is on me. But who knows...tomorrow it could be you. Oh come on, it's fun! Email me at jenvitucci@gmail.com if you're craving some time in the spotlight!















name: jenny  blog: along came splendor hometown: dallas, tx room-mates: my husband, carmen, and our son, max. oh and dolly, our dog that we sometimes forget we have 



most treasured treasure: my mom’s old record collection of classic rock, folk and old soul from the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s. she gave me everything but the barry manilow records 

favorite tv mom: was lucille ball a mom? not that she's my favorite but i seem to get myself into the same ridiculous situations she always found herself in 

spot for a steal: estate sales and online designer discount daily deals 

window-shop: barney's or calypso 

dreaming of: a tropical vacation 














my “it” design color of the moment: yellow or kelly green 

current state of mind: creative, which leads to grateful, as well 

favorite quote: ”save the drama for your mama” but of course, i rarely do.





drink of choice
: iced tea for a non-alcoholic beverage and a glass of sauvignon blanc for something with a kick 

my ideal evening: a night in with my husband and son - laughing, being silly and enjoying a good meal. for a night out - a good meal and good company 

1 thing few people know about me: i’d say that i sucked my thumb well into elementary school but that’s just embarrassing. so...let’s go with...i was in a lifetime movie. also embarrassing, I guess 

recipe for relaxation: sitting on my back porch under the lantern tree-lights after max goes to bed with a glass of wine, either talking to God, a beloved friend or listening to music on my iphone. peaceful. 







coffee table book:
 anything by kelly wearstler








biggest source of inspiration: creative women with enough confidence to put themselves out there - be it thoughts, words or their own creations. i get so inspired reading other blogs. always amazed at how talented you women are! 

5 words that describe me: optimistic, forgetful, silly, playful, devoted, loving, fun...that’s more than 5 

favorite design blog: oh, i can’t even list them all! definitely the must-reads I’ve put on my blog. plus about 50 others. add indecisive to the question above 

most marked characteristic: expressive. and maybe dramatic. but not in a crazy, flip-out kind of way like when kelly kapowski took too many caffeine pills 

what i hope to pass onto my children: a joyous love and longing for Christ, and after that, confidence in who God made them to be 

nicknames for kids: we call max all sort of things - buddy roe, puddin, little man, silly goose

on my nails: pale yellow 

beside my bed: my Bible and journal 

in the fridge: berries, apples, nectarines, mango, oranges, veggies, CHEESE, hebrew national hot dogs, ground coffee, flavored creamer, pickles 

on my play list: my morning jacket, michael jackson, neil young, bob dylan, U2, black keys, stevie nicks, mumford & sons, kol, al green, billy joel, talking heads, neil diamond, otis redding, vampire weekend, willy nelson 

in my handbag: make-up, iphone, wallet, lip balm, deodorant (it’s hot out) and a notepad/pen to jot down ideas 

on my to-do list: blog!

it's all in the details

any time i get my hands on an issue of vanity fair, the first thing i do is flip to the back to read the q & a with a person of note. it's fascinating to get a sneak peak into their lives and hear in their own words, who they are.  so...drum roll please...i'm inspired to bring you every week or two, the inner-workings of...you. i think it's high time we all learn a little bit more about each other. "blogger spotlight" will give you a behind the scenes look at fabulous, bold women who share the same, crazy affection for words and images just like you.  i've already asked one delightful blog friend (and amazing friend in real life) to share a little bit about herself. and i'll do the same with you. do you want to spread your love (and oh-so-lovely details about your talented life) around???  we would love that! comment or email me and let me know you're interested in being profiled. because we all need a little inspiration.  and you, my friends, are inspirational.

now of course, i wouldn't ask you to bare all without putting myself out there, too.  so, stay tuned for blogger spotlight - along came splendor.
