Winter Whites For Pink Friday





Winter Whites

I love winter~ long January days where the snow stretches until it blends with the low white clouds. No definition of distance, just shadows to foretell what is to come. Winter is clean, cold and refreshing. Snowy whites and creamy ivory swirl together creating a sense of calm. The air is still. The whole world seems at peace. As nature rests under a blanket of snow, time is spent in thought. There are books to be read, journals to be written, rooms to refresh, plans to be made for the garden. But nothing needs to move to fast. We have time. Winter is here and we can take things slow, time to relax and get lost in dream world of all white.

Love to go Royal..


For my Monday show and tell, I'm adding more glam, more bling, who doesn't like sparkle.

A clock that's ROYAL... would fit into any decor and I just love this look. What do you do to add a little sparkle to your day, to feel special, to feel like a queen? I'm having a contest. A Valentines present we all deserve. Share what do you do to add sparkle or glam to your day, to feel better, and you'll be entered in my contest to win...it's a secret?

How Sweet it is!

A new year, new ideas, fresh like the fallen snow~ My show and tell this week is about my most recent trip to LA.. then driving back home to this..SNOW!!!!! even one of my goats, seen in picture wonder why I left sunny Los Angeles, but you gotta do, what you gotta do, and my home is in the Northwest...yadda yadda, anyway, I did have a nice time, one of the highlights was meeting Debra of Lilli's Blue http://www.lillibluescloset.blogspot.com/. She was my Secret Sister for this winter. She invited me to her lovely cottage right in the heart of Beverly Hills where I was staying with friends. We drank tea and ate cookies, and talked about everything fun, in our businesses, we shared new ideas for the new year, I wished I could have stayed longer~her place was magical, peaceful, and very comfortable...Visit her blog for some lovely reading..



I had to show this too...it's so cute..as I was having lunch at my favorite little cafe Clementine's just across from Century City, I was telling some friends I missed my "pink" world and couldn't wait to return home to create more pink art!!! Well...I looked up and saw this Restaurant
"Pink Taco" and just about flipped!! My PINK angels were around..my trip inspired me so upon my return I came home and started making Pink cupcake clocks...How sweet it is~~~

Angel Birkinstocks

These have a funny story..I went to my one of my favorite shoe stores years ago, a fancy schmancy one... and said I want a pair of shoes SO comfy to teach in, so unusual, and if they are related to "Angels" in any way I will flip and do a dance..I need them as a business expense and told him my business name, I'll pay ANY price for comfort...LOL! Oh! my was I in trouble..he brought this box out that said "Think Peace"..and Italian writing...when it's not in English you're in trouble..I flipped when I saw them, tried them on..and that was it..they even have red sculpted hearts on the bottom... I floated across the room!

They are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought, but when I wear them...I can't help but smile..
I wear these sometimes when I teach my ceramic classes, or just when I want to be silly and walk 2 inches above ground! I've had them forever, but they got lost in my closet, I swear those angels play tricks on us..recently I mentioned them and thought I would share...my dear friend even had a purse made and hand painted to match the shoes..I use it for some fun things other than a purse...it's too cute to get messed up~Got any unusual cute shoes to share? LOL
