Really feeling the pink & orange combo lately and as always— mustard!

Tonal Tuesday: modern harvest

The smell of books, the cozy shady nooks, the warm wood tones and the soft buttery leather all gave the library it’s well-deserved reputation of comfort & solace but it was the memories of the fingers turning page after page and the stories and worlds that people escaped to through the words that really gave it that je ne sais quoi.

Holy guacamole! Spicy avocado deliciousness.

Tonal Tuesday: It's so spicy

Tonal Tuesday: the wool was surprisingly soft

In the attic, in a trunk, wedged under the eaves behind too many boxes of old christmas decorations and odd ephemera that had gathered in the dust and cobwebs was the most magnificent handmade afghan. It was overly large and fluffy still and surprisingly soft, despite it’s years. Made by some ancestor, slowly and with love, the silken fibers were still divinely cozy and strong. It was a timeless blanket made of wool & warm thoughts.

Electric velvet afternoon. Maribelle dropped some acid & then lounged on the fainting couch, eating delicious colors the rest of the pulsing sunshine-filled afternoon. Like you do.

Tonal Tuesday: decadence and velvet

*please note: I’ve never done acid. I am just guessing. ha!

Tonal Tuesday: studious study

The study was for studying; not just books but people too.

Tonal Tuesday: the stolen elephant

That piece of precious jade—carved into an intricate little elephant—had disappeared without a trace. Little did she know, her beloved totem was not simply a trinket but had a weight and gravity all it’s own. It had been stolen.
