Wild West Weekend

Surreal, isn't it?  But I wouldn't say no.  You?

Le Divan Fumoir Bohemian

Florizel has been coming up with some fascinating images this spring and summer.  I'm finding them very inspiring.

Poetry of Material Things, Revisited

I will echo something that Gesbi from Le Style et La Matiere said:

"The Poetry of Material Things" (click the link)

"Why didn't I think of THAT name?"  ("for my blog")

It's o.k.

Whoever it is who deserves credit for this name, this Blog

and all the beautiful images gathered there.....

(bonus pic via "La Casita" since it so well fits this theme)

is welcome to play his/her role in the bio-diversity of our Blog-u-verse.  I don't need to do anything except enjoy and say:  thank you! for the delicious feeling of lightness and calm I get from visiting and being reminded of..........

Something Different For the Weekend

I'll be posting more from Florizel at Le Divan Fumoir Bohemien

If anybody is spending their summer vacation doing arty things, you might enjoy these.

I've been doing some paper cutting - very much not like these, but I do love the simplicity and primitive qualities of these silhouettes, the orientalism about them, the gold-leafey effect.  Although I think they may be watercolors or stencils.  

Gives you ideas?  Me, definitely!!!!!

Remember Tamar?

I always go to her Blog and Tumblr

When I need my eye refreshed.

When I need time for a little dreaminess.

For softer ways of seeing the world.

For a little sustenance.

To switch up my own lens, for another's........Hope you like!

Summer Vacation, Fashion

I'm going to take a break from the blog for awhile.  But I'm going to line up some nice relaxing and pretty images for the final weeks of summer vacation.  Hope you like them!

Here's my fantasy of how an August day will be for me this year.

  It's o.k. if it's a holiday in the city cause I'm going to please myself,

dress very comfortably and mostly......be very very happy.

You too, I hope!  xoxo!

It's August

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
