awesomeness...

The delightful tabletop below has been created by Yvonne @ StoneGable blogspot

for all of us to enjoy.  Yvonne talent and artistry is well-known by most of us, but this

post is so special I didn't want you to miss it.

Not only can she create the most joyous tables, she can also cook !!

Find her HERE

so much to do today, so only a short post.

we received many orders over the long holiday weekend, for which I am so grateful and thankful,

so re-ordering merchandise if possible, getting the final pieces wrapped, packed and shipped...

& wonderful  news from my daughter's eclectic web shop...

she sold a custom-made designer dog bed for over $1000,

and a redwood/brass handmade wind chime, & some handmade baby shoes.

she is elated.

the lovely thing is that she speaks directly to each person individually about their order, so 

she kind of gets to know them a bit.  I think that's nice.

so, until tomorrow...June 1st...

What I Wear Everyday For Running Around

a couple of girls have asked what I usually wear during the day, just for

running errands or working at home or in the studio on jewelry...

well, here's an approximate idea...

the slouchy gray cargo-like skirt I'm crazy about, so comfortable and easy to move around in.

the turquoise skirt can be dressed way up with the Ralph blouse, or the laser-cut white top, the tank worn with the little shurg makes it work for anywhere, and

 I happen to love the extra large cherry-colored tee.

all the shoes, comfortable & fashionable.

these are me

a fashion shoot in Venice,

not too different from my Cipriani Hotel post a few weeks ago, is it?

& while we probably wouldn't wear such provocative outfits,

it's the idea of Venice we must respect and dress accordingly.

all from Marie Claire Turkey June 2012




you know, just seeing these images makes me feel happy as I believe they represent the true uniqueness of this ancient city.   


be beautiful and have fun...the Italian way...

Celebration for Pink Saturday + GIVEAWAY

Today is going to be a bit different, as we are celebrating the 4th Birthday of

Beverly's Pink Saturday Link Party

you will find her & all the other guests 
here





Beverly even has the weather cooperating, ladies...
what could make a better party?




& Mother Nature too...



you see, EVERYTHING must be PINK



I don't know if any of you remember Mom-Mom, Chelsea & Chantelle...


they will be attending this splendid event.


Mom-Mom's Necklace
of course
always pink, always over-the-top

naturally, Mom-Mom consulted Karl about the attire for the 3 of them,
as she always does.
He sent this outfit over for Chelsea, who is Mom-Mom's daughter, remember

Chanel resort 2013, shown at Versailles






Mom-Mom sent these over to Beverly for her pool.
can you imagine?  Beverly has a pool this big !!





Pink Martini's on the rocks











Mom-Mom's hair accessory







Chelsea's lipstick





Chantelle's hat & outfit...
Mom-Mom's grand-daughter, remember?







oh, this is just so precious, Chelsea's gift to Beverly,
 service for 32

& Chantelle made a bouquet for each chair for the guests,
I think this is a wonderful idea, it only took her 3 days to complete,
all on her own.

this is a virtual me, I preferred understated, this time.

  EVERYTHING must be PINK
even eyeshadow, which the ladies I mentioned ONLY wear anyway.

I even gave in to this...just for the fun.

everyone will bring a pink cake, so ordinary we thought.
this is our preferred dessert...and it's easy !!
with Grenadine

little vignettes everywhere, all in pinks
Beverly thought of EVERYTHING !!

ahhhh, this sublime gown, just in case the party goes long









bracelets & handbag, a gift to Beverly...from Splenderosa
