Art, Fashion & Wine


can anyone believe it's the first of August?
neither can I...


Most immediately I start thinking about vacation,
then returning, then Christmas shopping, but
I know you do too.  We're girls!  It's the way we are.


Surprise !!
Is this amazing?
German Installation Artist Heike Weber
created this using a Sharpie.
A complete visual delight, an art gallery where even
the floor is ART.






 
Emily Blunt
 wearing Christian Dior hosiery
in the editorial layout for Elle



takeaway on this:  get ready for Fall & hosiery,
Wolford  profits up 134%  +
gossimer sheers & lace too


for the young, looks from TopShop, but you get the idea...
longer, textured legs, sheers, lace, layered


to learn how to make the lovely crepe paper flowers just follow this link:





 Another surprise...this is a goodie too,
4 O'Clock Chardonnay Wines
produced organically by Spring Seed Wine Company in Australia
priced very very well at $11-16
Is this just FABULOUS LOOKING?  What great hostess or Christmas
gifts or to fill in all the spaces in your wine racks...
available at Whole Foods & other venues

They stood like that every morning,
admiring the view while the coffee was brewing on the stove.
Some days, they even waved...



 She fretted momentarily at her extravagance,
after indulging in black boots with little bows down the front ~
boots she didn't need,  but wanted.
Then she saw the bunches of pink roses and picked up an armful,
losing all thoughts of regret in their fragrance.
She must have them, too.
She was in Paris, after all....

I love our Fifi & I know you do too, but these are just so delightful
I wanted to introduce you to the

charming art prints of Shell Sherree on ETSY
love you guys

  5. Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie...
    What a beautiful share today. I so love this post. Who would have thought you could do this with a sharpie? I need to find out what kind of sharpie they were using, my sharpie doesn't quite work like this. How about yours sweetie?

    The fashions are so delightful. I love to look and dream about when I could wear things like this many moons ago. Cute...Cute...

    Love the sketches by Shell Sherree. I will go and check out her Etsy shoppe. Thanks for introducing her.

    Hope you have a beautiful pink Saturday. Please stop by and let me share mine with you.

    Country hugs and much love, Sherry

  31. Happy Pink Saturday, Marsha. I hope you enjoyed being one of the featured participants.

    You always make Saturday and every day beautiful and fun. I am totally blown away by the floor in the art gallery. Wow!

  32. Well, I guess the sharpie floor is the hit, even if it weren't from a sharpie, the flowing lines and the rich color is so wonderful. It looks like some exotic onyx flooring. Love the feminine look of lace and layering. Isn't it funny, I thought the hosiery industy was going out of business and they have reinvented themselves. So fun, feminine and beautiful. Checked out your previous post, that I missed, love the shoes with flowers. I think shoes are like little jewels in life. I would love a pair of those. Where would I wear them? I have no idea, but I would make my husband take me somewhere! PS I live in Utah, just south of Salt Lake. Four hours south is St. George where you can buy palm trees and sit around a pool with palm trees blowing in the breeze. It's hard to believe but true.

    Love your inspiration!

  37. Another lolly bag full from you! Always love your posts.
    Emily Blunt is too beautiful. I love that woman!
    The layering for Fall looks great, though I have never felt comfortable in it. Not sure why. I am a less is more type of person I guess, but I love the looks nevertheless!..
    Those wines looks so great - perfect for a girly glass in the afternoon. Good work Australia! :)

    Also think that Shell Sherree's little aquarelles are so cute. Even more so when you write about them. I love how you narrate!

    Hugs

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
