unbelievably alluring...i want to admire these objects up close and in person. if only i could try these shoes on for fun, touch the lovely cushion, admire the artwork and natural beauty within arms length, and be under that pale pink and blue sky. looking at all the colors and forms together makes me smile. have an alluring week.

a shimmering layer of frost in the mornings has me thinking about cozying up to a lovely fireplace with a warm cup of tea. wishing you a warm and cozy weekend.

opulent, mystical almost electrifying effect iridescent qualities have on the viewer's eye. so bright with warmth, shimmering metallic brilliance draws me in. easy to see how younger eyes are distracted by shiny objects. must remember to add a little brilliance to my everyday.

gathering together at our house invariably means hanging out in the kitchen - every year as i notice the crowd standing, i dream of an open plan kitchen with an island and stools to comfortably accommodate friends and family. hope your weekend includes time for hanging out (comfortably) with friends and family.
