Something for Mum's...

Here is a wee glimpse into the shop and some Mother's Day love...any design can be embellished with any one of the fun Mother's Day salutations you see...and just for fun, take 10% off any order (before shipping)...life is grand and everyone should let their Mum know how much they love her!

comes time for a change...

sometimes we just realize it is time for a change, it feels right and we know it in our soul... & so, we are on the hunt for a new homestead to call our very own...not going far from where we are now...

just growing on with what life calls for...so here is to California and all it has to offer, never ceases to surprise me and I am so lucky to call it my own home in the country, not far from the sea...

wide open spaces...

There is nothing like bringing the outdoors in and making your surroundings blend with nature in a seamless way...I love the concept of an invisible line between my indoor & outdoorsy spaces...this really is what California style symbolizes to me.
Here are some great spaces which portray open and fresh living...

Feel the breeze...

Since we are now moving into Spring and daylight savings is upon us here in So. Cal...I find myself dreaming of outdoor spaces and as the weather gets warmer and the days are longer we always end up enjoying our family dinnertime outside on the patio...here are some inspirational fresh air dining spaces I have come across...

These modern, simple lines above are so crisp and calming.

Love, love the concrete table top above in this Tuscan style outdoorsy space.

Great for a small patio area...love the feel of the colors with the textured/aged back wall...

Makes me want to chop some veggies, toss a salad and open a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio then head out for a relaxing meal with family and friends.

blending of loveliness

sometimes i tend to get caught up in my succulents and all their wonderfulness (see shop), however, i also get swept away by the beauty and simplicity of flowers...so why not combine the two? this is a pairing with shades of green/hints of silver/blue/purple found in these drought tolerant, easy to care for echeveria succulents with simple white, clean and crisp hydrangea's, who would not love to have this as a centerpiece at a dinner party, a wedding, outdoor dining...anywhere.

desert bound

Hello and first off, i must apologize for my lack of presence here at this blog space...so far 2010 has been a busy one...and this weekend i am off to the desert to be part of a lovely and most inspirational art show...not sure how this will go and how my work will be received, but you just don't know till you go, and i just love being around all those soulful gals and guys who are so grounded and real...so i head out on a wee road trip tomorrow..and my shop will be updated in the a.m. prior to departure.

I wish you all a very happy, heARTful, and loving Valentines, I don't really buy into all that hearty lovey dovey, chocolate laced, marketing for love stuff, but I do believe that everyone deserves their fair share of lovin' and attention, and if some folks need a day to do that, well then so be it, in my wee opinion, everyone should be filled to the brim each day, but who am i, well, i am me and that means alot.

so go gently, stay human and be happy.
