Love your vanity area

This pretty vanity tray from Ebay is perfect to hold my little porcelain containers that hold jewelry that I wear often.

Keeping a vanity neat makes getting ready so much faster and less stressful. I am lucky to have a large area to work with but hate for it to be too cluttered. 

I like to use vases to hold make up brushes. Old candle glass containers make nice holders for make up pencils or Q tips. Love the pink bows--so me!

Pale pink office

If I had an office I think this is what I would like it to look like! Serene yet feminine. Love the bookcase.I think people are more productive when they are in pretty surroundings. It shows your employer cares about you.

Scandal style... steal Olivia's style

Scandal style

Scandal is back on air and we are all wondering how Olivia Pope will get along now that she has fled D.C. and  almost as important, what she will wear where ever it is she ends up!

One reason I began watching the series was  I enjoyed the clothing and have always admired Kerry Washington as an actress and as a classy lady. She keeps her private life private, does her job well and lends a hand to charities that she believes in.

On the show she wears some pretty pricey outfits and while it is fun to see it is also a bit frustrating not being able to afford those coats and cute suits!

Along comes the show's designer Lyn Paolo and The Limited clothing store chain and now we have some lovely renditions of Olivia style that the average woman can purchase.I love the colors in the collection.

Miss Washington worked with Lyn Paolo and the team from The Limited in creating the styles. There are 70 some pieces to the collection.

Maybe I will wear my new Scandal inspired skirt while watching the team "fix" a political problem.

Wasanbon-Japanese candy

I just learned about this type of Japanese candy. Do any of my Japanese blog readers know where I can purchase this type of molded candy in the United States? I learned it is made from a different type of sugar than that which is normally used for candy in Japan.  love the shapes. 

I would love to try it.

Anyone who knows about it please contact me thru this blog. Until  make it to Japan I have to have fun with my little hobbies and Japanese art.

Roses jumping up in the air

We are sliding into fall here in the South. I thought I would share these pink rose photos before we all turn toward the maple leaves and pumpkins and fall colors.

 I love roses on arches they seem to be jumping up toward the sky.

I love roses climbing a wall or drifting over a fence. I love roses framing a window or climbing the stairs.

I love pink roses any way at all.

Have a Pink day!

When you are feeling blue...

We all have our down days. Maybe not feeling too well, maybe sad about some event or loss. I perk myself up with enjoying pretty images, happy music, and counting all the wonderful friends and blessings in my life. 

How do you cheer yourself?

Have a Pink day!

French painting fragments

 Fragonard The Pursuit 

 Francois Drouais

 Mary Elisabeth de France

Natttier The Spring

I love 18th Century French paintings and love these little fragments . So intriguing and it is enjoyable to focus on just a small part of a work. It makes you realize how perfect these works are --so much beauty in each little area.
