Tick Tock, Tick Tock.......





There is something I find so intriguing about antique clocks, the more you look at them the more unique each one becomes. No two are the same!
I am trying to find a clock for my living room and while searching came across these beautie's online, just wish I knew where I could buy these.

Today's beautiful find....
One of my favorite things to do is spend way to much time online looking at furniture and design websites. Today I came across these beautiful pictures on Flicka.com of all places and just had to share, so beautiful! Love the color....




Today is Beautiful....

Its Friday the most wonderful day off all!
Planting lavender and geraniums in my garden
Playing in the tree house with the boys
Seeing friends & good conversation
Baking choc chip cookies & licking the bowl
More than a chair.......



My passion with chairs. Here are some of my favorite shots of chairs that not only show off the beautiful shapes and craftsmanship but also the colors and creativity that goes into a chair.

Today is Beautiful...

Laughter of my boys playing outside
Enjoying the company of a good Friend visiting
A refreshing breeze blowing through the window on a cool summer day
The taste of peanut butter on fresh grain bread
Out with the old and in with the new...
A few of my favorite things.....Color

I am so grateful to not only see but to see and appreciate all the colors around me.
Nothing is ever just yellow, red or blue to me....its soft butter yellow or warm burnt rust or stormy sea turquoise. I just love Color!
The depth of color, the thoughts of memories it provokes the comfort or intensity that it gives, an indescribable joy and energy.

Red as passion comfort warmth tomato's Autumn happy energising bright always giving attentionseeking surprising bursts hot rich romance power raspberries glamor fire

Yellow rays of sunshine warmth cosy homey provincial sunflowers happy summer laughter joy light glow gold Sand beach daffodils citrus scent smiley faces Dijon mustard

Blue like the ocean the sky on a sunny day refreshing my favorite pair of jeans glass bottles French linens

Today is beautiful.......

Dave is coming home early for a roast dinner
I enjoyed a really yummy coffee today from my favorite little espresso stand
Its raining outside and everything is so green and lush
Kisses from my boys
A few of my favorite things......RAIN

The sound of rain, while I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep in the dark, when its just me and the only sound I can hear is the rain falling outside on the ground.

The feel of rain when its been a hot sticky day, the refreshing feeling of little icy drops on your face.

The smell of rain just before a thunderstorm, when there is a real freshness in the air, so crisp and new.

The sight of rain when you are inside. Wearing your favorite slippers, snugly holding a good cup of hot coffee and playing forts with the kids, appreciating that you don't have to be out in it.
