Beating the Chill

What a fantastic way to beat the chill.  I absolutely love this scarf. . . The word scarf actually does not do this justice.  I prefer to call it A Dreamy Orange Neck Hug.

It's part of a give away.  Please visit Whisper of the Muse blog, but by all means DO NOT ENTER THE GIVEAWAY because I must have this.

Did I also mention that orange is my favorite color!

It Does Rain in Arizona

Although a native Californian where I enjoyed going to the beach and snow within the same day, there is something so wonderfully beautiful about the sense of calm and artful skies here in Arizona, especially when it rains here.  It enlivens my creative energy... it speaks to my uninhibitedspirit.

Chocolate Truffle Hat

I love hats...wish I could wear them everyday and crushin on this hat at LiDDesignsBoutique

Did I add that I look cute in hats too...

Vintage

I been having a love affair with vintage or vintage-esque things lately. 

I created a birthday card recently based on this very emotion

...and I'm in love with this site by Lorenzo Petrantoni. It has wonderful black and white illustrations  I love the French music in the background equally as much.

So Nouveau Chic....so vintage
