and nothing special and uninteresting and you drive right past it without looking back. I think it’s breathtaking and beautiful and interesting and I pull over to let my eyes make love and then snap a photo.

is when you’ve been working on something for the past hour and your computer freezes and throws it all away. After going through a series of these in my life, I think I’ve trained myself well to react rather calmly when it happens.

My growing collection of shabby chic decor. A vintage chair with a huge personality that I grabbed at an antique show (you can tell it has been painted over a million times), along with an original handmade burlap bunting that I bought from Etsy, and an antique book from 1910 that I found at a garage sale. This all makes me very happy.

I’ve been rushing through these posts lately. I have way too many things to squeeze into such a teeny tiny after-work time frame from 6:30pm to midnight (6:30pm is when I usually get home). And I absolutely have to stay up until midnight to finish everything I need to do. And then wake up at 7am for work. Am I really that busy or am I making myself that busy? Probably the second part. But surely it feels good to be busy.

37 humble sales at my Etsy Shop… eeeeppp!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who’ve supported my work. It means so much to me. My shop is ramping up, slowly but surely!

Aren’t these giraffes adorable? I posted this print for sale just for a colleague of mine who was avid about purchasing three fuzzy cute animal-related prints. When I’m forced to dig through my archive of photos, I end up with pleasant surprises like this. :)

I’m SOOO busy right now – I need six brains and twelve arms. But anyway, if you like this print, I’m running a Buy One Get One Free promotion at my Etsy Shop, so have a look. :) Sorry for being haste!

I’ve got a bit of colour from playing with the sun all weekend. :) The sun, the heat, the blue skies, and the puffy white clouds, overwhelm me with uncontainable joy. I just want to be outside all the time. And I dream about California. (I know I’ve got Paris below, but how often do my blabbers actually coincide with the photos I post? – Rarely. :))

JULY brings you a BOGO SALE.
Buy One Get One FREE on all my prints until July 15th, 2011. Check it out.

It’s time to wind down this evening and prepare for a VERY busy work week.
