somewhere in portugal


In Porto. I loved the tilework on the facades of the buildings and their old, crumbly, state of decay. Sounds strange, but trust me, if you go, you will find it beautiful. I remember all the food there was delicious. Homey comfort food like roast chicken and kale and potato soup, and fish stew. And some port after dinner, if you like that sort of thing. I do.
Speaking of food, I found this via Smosch.
And thank you to Michelle for posting about this bag on her lovely blog.
p.s. you can check out her shop too, which is filled beautiful, unique jewelry.

I've started a quiet spot over here. No words, just pictures.
There are still sweet and pretty valentines gifts over in my shop!

somewhere in france

Look at all these olives! Taken in Dijon in 1999. We went to France for three weeks that time.
Spring/Summer Sally Scott collection is here.

somewhere in spain

Taken on a trip to Spain years ago. Somewhere in the western part of Andalucia, I think. I loved the white villages there. I've been browsing our old travel photos, thinking of past trips, dreaming of future ones. I'll post a photo each day this week of places we've been. Have a good start to the week!

6th folder, 6th photo


My friend Raphaelle of Artycho tagged me to post the 6th photo from my 6th photo file.

Here it is: my favorite Christmas tree ornament! It's still sitting on my mantle because I like to look at it all winter.

little girl stuff


Very girly, don't you think? Now my daughter is tired of the pink walls in her bedroom and wants to change to blue. I'm getting out my paintbrush again...and I do love blue.
