A spotted tale {tail}…

So….

We are looking at this little spotted and dotted beauty

as a possibility to come join our home.

She needs one.

We have one.

I will let you know how the story unfolds.

And {if} said beauty did grace us with her presence.

what would YOU name her?

Pearl, Lola and Layla are the frontrunners….any others?

Did’ja know…..

Probably you did

But a cool new iphone/pad app called Glaze

makes these

lovely sunrise paintings….

out of  regular old sunrise photos.

 

But the other morning met me with THIS moody beautiful feel

no app involved!

The light therapy of a morning walk on the Atlantic is like

NOTHING else.

::happy sigh::

In other news…the Jungle continues to take over

So, machete in hand….we whack away…

only to not be able to throw the gorgeous giant leaves out…

so we put them in pots

When will we learn.

sigh.

Guilt{less} Sunday….

So we have had rain

and cold

SOME would not call it that. But it is to us…to ours

I went out with all good intentions

to work on the damage.

Of Ignoring a jungle.

I am sure it only  takes days

of benign neglect. not weeks or months

{Path to the barn…that I SO want to work on}

For the Inmates to get restless

{Avocado tree touching the clouds…with nary a fruit to be found}

{meditation corner. We have taken to naming the different *rooms* in our yard}

{Crazy huge Chinese Fan Palm….was in a six inch pot, originally.}

OY.

screw it.

smelling the flowers…watching a game.

there is always tomorrow.

It is always amazing…

How much a simple blooming flower

can change

your

whole

day.

Happy days.

Do you like kitchen shelves?

Me? Yes.

source

We have had them for decades…in several kitchens.

It seems to be the first thing I do…rip out cabinets. Put up shelves.

But

I find you are either a shelf person

Or not.

I am Playing with the idea of changing ours up a bit.

I like the ideas above

thick and substantial… no brackets

Instead of what we have going on…

‘scuse the mess…but our one wall has shelves held up by old house corbells…from

an old Key West cottage. Love the history. But  ready for a change.

I never painted them…always meant too, but just didn’t

and you can see the moulding…is cracked and looks…well cheap.

So give me your ideas….

Other side has some good ole IKEA metal shelves

Which have been fine….But perhaps ready for something more substantial. Or. Not.

Decisive is not my middle name on this.

Old pic 

so…help a gal out with your ingenious and creative ideas…

please.

Things I love…

Can we talk?

I just ordered these lovely glasses….because I was recently at a restaurant that used them

they graciously told me where to find them.

Now I am telling YOU.

They are made from recycled wine bottles

Now before you claim to have downed enough wine to make your own fleet of said glasses…

let me tell you how they FEEL. Not sharp edged, beautifully soft. Not homemade.

I love ‘em love em love em.

different colors, different weights, different sized humps what are those things called anyway?

different flavors.  you know.

They did not ask me, pay me or support me in anyway

they don’t even know me.

I am just passing on something I found and kinda love.

Refresh Glass

cheers

Anyone else….

wanna be RIGHT here?

 

I do. I do.
