Do You Ever……
~ Wear sequins in the daytime?…..yes, you can…just balance out the look…high …low!
~ Layer your jewelry?….an armful of bangles, bracelets…..so pretty …so bohemian!!
~ Take only one pair of shoes on your travels? Try it…..sure does make packing simpler!!

~Do You Ever……Embrace natures gifts…? (These are our plums trees one week ago….ahhhh…heavenly aren’t they!)

~Do you Ever…take photos of nature…then frame the good ones…or make them into cards? I have found wandering around with camera in hand to be so very relaxing….another view of this beautiful world!

Do you ever….buy yourself pretty journals? One next to the bed, one in your purse, one on your desk…..?

Do you ever…..don a romantic scarf to feel even more enchanting than you already are…..?

Do you ever….allow dragons into your home….?

Do you ever buy a gorgeously wrapped luxury soap…for you and for a friend…and then really use it…?

Cheers and Delightful Dreams!!

Take close up photos of your rugs and then frame them?

Flip through your old photos all smiles….and a few tears?

Put freshly cut herbs on your dinner?

Go fishing?

…Do You?

Cheers and Happy Adventures!!

Do you ever….hang a mirror on your porch or garden shed….to reflect mother nature’s bounty?

Do you ever…..make a fanciful plate of pink-bunny-springtime goodness…..and cover it with candy kisses?

Do you ever….leave your boots in the dust…. because it’s just so good to run barefoot?

Wishing you springtime goodness, happiness in your soul, love and peace…..and as much laughter as your belly can hold!

Cheers…Happy Easter…Happy Gorgeous Spring weekend!!

Keep little things from your children, or any children in your life……that simply bring you joy !? I do….I love the lilliputian goodies our boys make….sometimes it’s a mother’s day thing, other times it’s an I love you thing. I put these little treasures all over our house…I find they mix in beautifully with antiques and other “grown-up” finds. I hang them on our walls, put them on our consoles right with sterling cups and other lovelies. I find they bring even more soul into our home…and that’s just it………..it is “our” home….and I know that when our boys see the wonderful creations they make mixed in with everything else….it makes them feel prideful and delighted to know we truly find elegance and joy in everything they do. No matter what sort of thing it is….I love them….sweet innocent little things that bring a smile to your day no matter….just like kids.

Cheers and Simple Discoveries,

Perch little faux birds on a stack of your favorite dishes….

Look back at your garden photos…..and imagine what you will create next….

Put a Child’s drawing somewhere that will make you smile every time you see it?

Do you…..?

Cheers and Fanciful Dreams…

Yes, you read that right. You know….find a bunch of cool rocks and start piling them up in whatever way that tickles your fancy..then walk away…leave them…or knock them down…….wonder who will discover them…..
We found some one day on the beach and then a much inspired John and Gus kept making them. Gus was all about the make and knock down version….John was more of the make them and walk away version.

I love this one…may have to frame as a black and white photo.

This one was cool too…my brother Danny and my sister in law Tara and I sat and watched as John and Gus scooted across the rocks.

John in a state of bliss….making his next move

Gus started bringing flat rocks to the sandy part of the beach and making his own version of sculpture.

So Do You…? or will you……?
Cheers and Happy Gathering!!

Dust a table with glitter? ..just a dusting…or maybe inside a card..or a touch in a pretty bowl….pretty isn’t it…this is from a window in NYC at ABC carpet and home. Keep your eyes peeled inspiration is everywhere….

Eat hot dogs from a street vendor…or at the ballpark….or over a campfire….?

Finger paint…, or write….or doodle…with no plan in mind…just as a child would…freely..?

Hang paper hearts from your chandelier….or doorway..or mirror….because……. they are simple, and elegant…and soulful…do you?

Happiness To You!
