Saturday in the kitchen...

I am back with my Saturday series...thought this was an absolutely stunning image to inspire your day.  Whatever you do today, I hope its fun, relaxing and maybe a little bit creative. Ahhh, nice to have Saturdays off again...


Would this be fabulous to sit down and have a meal or drink???

Does this inspire you as it does me?

LOVE!

Happy Saturday!!

Guest posting on Homestilo...

Hi everyone! I blinked and forgot I did a guest post over on Homestilo about Jonathan Adler's new collection for Kohler, so be sure and check it out. Everything old is new again as he has introduced bright colors for sinks back in the kitchen and bath.




Thank you Santa for having me guest post!!

See you over at HOMESTILO!

Cath Kidston in Chiswick...

On my recent trip to the UK, I was lucky enough to find myself in leafy Chiswick for an afternoon of lunch and shopping. My friend knew my must-see was the Cath Kidston store, which I had never set foot in! I have spent lots of time perusing the website for all the goodies, but, the store was just lovely. See below -


The pale blue store


Fabulous fabrics!


The little back room 


I once had a duvet that looked like this one

Yes please...TURQUOISE...

If I haven't mentioned it before, I LOVE turquoise...in fact, I'm wearing my favorite turquoise necklace and earrings right now. I  just love this color not only for jewelry, but clothes too - so I found some great photos courtesy of the fabulous Pinterest  - tell me, what is your favorite color and why?


These are GORGEOUS!!!



Love a scarf ;-))


How great would this jacket be with blue or white jeans??? -

Oh and I love turquoise for a wall color too -




Have a happy Friday!!

Watercolor Wednesday...

Life can be very unpredictable as I found out tonight...an old family friend lost his life in a car accident and he was only 54 and married about 3 years.  I am still shocked by how quickly life can change.  I saw this gorgeous painting and wanted to post it. How do you process grief and stress?  I promise lighter posts soon as I am also supposed to announce a winner for my giveaway this week. Its too late since I have to get some sleep, so enjoy the art:




There are so many talented artists on Etsy and Pinterest - do make a visit to see all the beauty out there and available to buy -

Have a good week - thanks for stopping by too.

Tea with the Queen...

It is Jubilee Sunday and I will be enjoying the festivities via TV and will drink from the lovely cup I bought when I was over there last month. It is a beautiful Royal Stafford, made in Great Britain mug with 'ER' and the dates of her reign on it.  Also included are pics from my trip to the Isle of Wight, which I loved. Happy Jubilee Sunday!  Don't forget to enter my giveaway here: Crafty giveaway - only open until tomorrow night!

 









I don't have Picnik anymore, can anyone suggest a good free substitute??

Have a great day everyone!
