Sweet Vintage Kitchen

I am so enamoured with this photo (right). It just grasps my love of sunny kitchens, sweet breakfast nooks, vintage decor, bold colors and sedums in coffee cups, which I do, and also adore. I only wish my kitchen were big enough for decorative counters. All space is taken. Send Oprah.

 These photos comes from the Etsy Storque article: Get The Look: Memory Lane.

Fall For Color

It took me many years to get over black as a daily clothing essential. When I did though, I never looked back. (Besides I have dogs. Standing in an office parking lot, sticky rolling my clothes just doesn't work for me.)

Color--BOLD color--makes such a bigger statement. Anyone can pull off black, but red? Purple? Yellow, red and purple?

A friend tells me, I'm returning to my roots. As a kid I was all about color: plaid, polka-dots--both, mixed together. My poor mother. All she wanted was a sweet little girl in patent  Mary Janes and a pastel smock dress. I wanted green rainboots, orange polyester plaid, a  pink t-shirt and my cowboy hat. Things haven't changed too much since then.

Here are a few great color spots from my shop and around Etsy.
