Dealing With Lemons.

I was feeling extremely financially discouraged on Saturday evening. Do you know that feeling? Fortunately my husband knew precisely the prescription that I needed to cheer up. He handed me his phone and said, "You need to read this." The article he gave my touched my heart and inspired me. You simply must read it {here.} One quote brought a little tear to my eyes;

"When you’re at the bottom of the economic ladder, you have nowhere to look but up."

Friends Just Know.

I have an amazing friend in my life, Ms. Janine Suzanne. I'm most recently grateful to Janine for pushing me to listen to Bob Marley. Between her suggestion and the chefs at work screaming "One Love," at midnight I too fell in love with Bob. Sometimes our best friends know us better than we know ourselves.

P.S. The above picture is from Janine's wedding. {I'm sure you deduced that.} But, fun fact you didn't know; I did her hair and make-up! She looked so beautiful.

Auto Love.

I have an obsession for hatchback cars. Someone in my hood owns this '82 Honda. It's the most endearing shade of sapphire. I see myself driving it to farmer's market and auditions, with a red checked picnic blanket perennially in the hatch. Come for a drive with me?

P.S.: Notice the heavenly shaft of light shining upon her?

Art Smart.

I am in love with art.

I live/breathe for art, searching for it in every niche.

I'm smitten with paintings in particular.

My favorite painter from Arizona is:

Andrea Evans.

Her work evokes living dreams.

Vintage Photo Booth.

Being silly, and kissing is what bunnies do best.

Decor Extraordinaire.

Dream with me now. These gorgeous images are from:

THE WORLD OF INTERIORS October 2009 edition.

Note the infamous multicolored macarons!

Happiest of the Happies.

I wish everyone the happiest of happies for this New Year.

I am thrilled to see what will unfurl for each of us in 2010.

The above is one of my favorite mistakes.

It was a polaroid that went off accidentally.

I pressed flowers in an old book and taped them to the front.

This beautiful mistake now resides tucked into a corner

of my bedroom mirror. I am pleased each time I look at it.
