Why is Red important? Because it just makes us FEEL GOOD. And somehow it just keeps turning up. That's a good thing.

Here's a post about the children that I think I might be.......

Lovely things that I have happened to see.

You recognize the J. Crew ad, don't you? And Pink counts as Red. YES!

hello dearest: I read all your recent postings. a little something for you on my blog. my way of saying I am here with you. Kenza.
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon your blog and about to read more of these lovely posts!! I love your blog!! xo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. Red IS important, and it does actively make you feel good. Our house had a red door when we bought it, which was not the only selling point, but it certainly didn't hurt! I went on to paint the kitchen Chinese laquer red. It took many long days and many carefully-mixed layers to get it right...but it was oh so worth it. I still love it.
ReplyDeleteHello and belated happy new year! Thanks so much for checking out my site and the kind comments. I'm enjoying your posts and photos - the Hawaiian homes and today's post especially. I too have red on the brain this week, maybe subconsciously looking for something to counteract the gray weather...
ReplyDeletehello! thanks for your visit and such kind words. I have to admit that he has my eyes, but everything else is papa caramel! even the character, sweet and gentle. stay well and keep on smiling. writing your blog and letting all that energy out will do you good. share, this is the best way, we are here for you even if through the ether-net. hugs, kenza.
ReplyDeleteI love that top picture. Speaks to my enormous sweet tooth.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, Firball and Thomas - Thanks so much for stopping by! I think we all are doing much the same kind of thing but in our own special ways. That's the great thing about this cyber soup! Thomas, loved your Cambodia posts and so impressed how you hit the ground running as soon as you got back. Plane rides do give one time to ruminate!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Kenza, apparently we just can't keep any of it to ourselves! Despite challenges. (More at La Tulipe. xoxo)
Maia - A red door. Almost bought a house in Hawaii with a red front door - with lychee trees in the back. BUT THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY! Now your red kitchen, that is something I'd like to see, you have been holding out on us.
Oh I can tell blogging's got you now!
ReplyDeleteLove red, and love this post and would LOVE to own the jacket.
