Delightful Garden

I have been in the garden,

getting it ready for spring.

Creating a place to wander,

dream and ponder.

Maybe I will make a swing

under the big trees,

and a place to relax

in the afternoon breeze.

Indeed Spring is here. The garden is lush and green and the fragrant flowers are blooming. I have been busy trying to transform the over grown jungle in my backyard into a beautiful garden. I am quite exhausted and can only dream my garden would look as lovely and magical as these. Still what I have means a lot to me. :)

I hope you are enjoying your Spring days

and making your dreams come true.

March On

It is a sunny day in LA,

but it's cold and it's suppose to rain.

How are you today?

Gray and Burgundy Today

The wintery cold feeling of silver and gray

can be warmed up with rose and burgundy

in hopes you will have a very pretty day.

Time to Share

I have discovered so many beautiful pictures of art and antiques, architecture, interior design, and fashion, and merely stashed them away in folders on my computer or in files on the internet. I have some of everything from fairy tale castles, romantic chateaus and villas, to cozy cottages, and amazing modern architecture and all the furnishings you might find inside and beautiful landscaping outside, to the people who I imagine might occupy such places.

My journeys have lead me to other wonderful bloggers, creative people, manufacturers, shops and websites that you might like to know about as well. I hope you don't mind if I share them with you without any particular rhyme or reason, but just because I think you might like them too. Well... I can't resist writing a story for fun now and then.

So without further ado...

of this picture but discovered it on Tumbler.

Honeysuckle Interior by

I find the Honeysuckle color changes how I feel depending

on what other colors it's paired with and the style of the room.

However you choose to use Pantone's new color for 2011,

the Honeysuckle hues are sure to brighten your day!
