Blue Birds and Brooches.....

Wow has it been a while since my last post! Where does all of my time go? I was inspired today by a bluebird I saw when I was running. It was not the typical Blue Jay we normally see around here.... It was this bird, an Eastern Blue Bird (beautiful!)

I found this pattern for a homemade Blue Bird Brooch by All About You

A few pretty cool vintage bird brooches.....

This is not vintage but I like this Birdcage brooch...

Check out this bird jewelry by Papersnake.....

Another vintage brooch.....

These cute felt bird brooches are by Lola Revolutionary...

This flowerpot ring (by Allison Wells) has NOTHING to do with today's post but I couldn't resist!

One of my favorite designers is Manolo Blahnik. This is one of his drawings..

Maybe these shoes were inspired by his drawing, they are Manalo Blahnik....

He actually has a book of his work....

Ok, this was my favorite of the day......(drum roll please).............LOVE IT!

This bathtub was created by Massimiliano Della Monaca. There are several designs to choose from......

I think this is going to be all for today! I hope you all have a great day...I know I will!!

The sun came out today!

I know its silly to be happy to see the sun, but we haven't seen it in over a week! I guess its just that time of year!
Probably because I have been cold lately I have been looking at boots. I found some great ones to add to my wish list (they aren't the WARM kind just the PRETTY kind!)......... Christian Louboutin

Another cold weather favorite of mine is homemade Creamy Pumpkin soup. This is the recipe I use ( I just about have it memorized!) I know the print is small but if you click it, it will open up a larger version......

Check out these Mink lined gloves.......

Ok, I know these purses aren't practical, but......

It must be a "Fur" theme today but I liked these pillows...........

Just a few fireplaces that caught my eye..........

Hope you all have a great day! Stay warm!!

"Party like its 1999"..........

Happy New year! I have been singing Prince all day (I remember when 1999 seemed like a LONG way off!)

I have been on "Christmas break" for almost two weeks now and I have enjoyed all of it! I finished two new books and have watched several movies. Of course I have spent a considerable amount of time looking at shoes.......(The boots above are Giuseppe Zanotti) Dollhouse

Massimo even got some presents for Christmas. His favorite is his new bed. We put it by the fireplace in the kitchen........

We have had a little snow over the past week.......

Now, my plans are to take down all of the Christmas decorations (I feel like I just put them up!) I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the New Year! I will post more later........
