Swimming pools

With my world covered with snow, it's no wonder I am looking to be transported!

Happiness

I suppose everyone has images that immediately bring them to their happiest place but there are two things that always transport me to immediate bliss and tutus/ dance costumes are one of them. What is the other one you ask?

Off to see the Wizard.................

Check out my wonderful and talented friend K's new Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/cloudberrydesigns. She makes fabulous dolls in the waldorf style but in a whimsical way, inspired by her love of children's books. Her newest addition is this adorable Dorothy doll!!!

BOLD RAINBOW


BOLD RAINBOW, originally uploaded by hairbowswonderworld.

I have a few of these gorgeous enamel broaches but find that I don't really have the finesse to carry them off. My house style is funky but my fashion style is pretty subdued. I have never seen anything like this enamel bouquet though!! Love it!!!

On the radio


my panasonic collection, originally uploaded by brum d.

When I was a little girl I had the white round radio on the right and my sister had the toot a loop panasonic. We never went to the beach without them. Remember when people actually took radios to the beach?

Inspiration for K

This bed reminds me of my dear friend K in the U.K who should be sleeping right now!

Wow, there is a lot going on here even for me, but looks like a really fun space to hang out in!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!

You know you are a bad blogger when one of your closest friends says she is sick of looking at your Christmas paella. My lack of blogging doesn't reflect my lack of inspiration but more my preference for being in the moment. Lately, I've been lots of places where I thought I should have my camera, be taking pictures, etc. It just doesn't seem to be my forte in the midst of life and work to step out of it and actually document it. For now, here is a photo of the little elf that sits on my counter. I think she looks like baby New Year and she reminds me that every new year is a new beginning filled with possibilities. This year maybe I'll even become a more frequent blogger!

Christmas Paella


Ever since we took that wonderful trip to Barcelona a few years back, my husband has been making us beautiful paellas that we enjoy sharing with friends or at holiday time. Last night's paella was superb!

Happy Christmas


My husband surprised me Christmas morning with this aluminum tree that I had been wanting. He scoured ebay, got vintage ornaments separately and hung them all very early this morning. I have to say, I wept like a baby when I saw it!

Sweet 16/black light/highlighter party





Have spent weeks preparing for my daughter's sweet 16. We had a black light/highlighter/glow party last night and it was a huge success. Here are some highlights! Got a big bang for our buck on a small budget!
