turquoise blue, sea green and creamy white make a dreamy mix...makes my mind drift off to sea under a blue sky...maybe we can plant this soothing color combination in the ground and come home to it each day..or just enjoy it the way it is. drift off and soak up the dreamiest bits of inspiration that crosses your path.

awhile back many years ago, i had a little thought about which colors to paint the walls of our house. i kept tossing around the idea of lavenders and greens - maybe in some way i wanted to fulfill a dream of mine to have a field of lavender and artichokes. years later we named our daughter violet...i'm still drawn to certain greens and violets..there's a pattern here somewhere. for now, i'll coast through the week imagining where i could establish this pattern in my home or wardrobe maybe. be drawn to something and imagine how it could be part of your everyday.

ahhhh...warm and fuzzy thoughts and images to transition us into the cooler days of the year - i love the crispness in the air and serene glow from the light of autumn days. sip something warm and have fun bringing out the fuzzy glowing bits of decor, happy autumn.
