The Poet and The Postmistress.

There are many new arrivals at Fringe, dear ones, and there are many more to come.

I thought posting here by style types would be a grand way to display the new pieces.

A few at a time instead of a major bombardment...

So today I would like to share with you a handful of the new collars I've created.

I am so in love with them!

They're extremely romantic.

Made for the romantic soul indeed.

Sweet and feminine.

Sexy and alluring.

Here are the two collar styles I've added to the shop -

The Poet Collar 

and 

The Postmistress Collar.

 The Poet Collar {in butter yellow}

 The Poet Collar {in vanilla cream}

 

 The Postmistress Collar {in chocolate brown}

The Postmistress Collar {in rich teal}

 The Postmistress Collar {in vanilla cream}

The Postmistress Collar {in butter yellow}

The Postmistress Collars were made as a tribute to the Letter Writers Alliance. 

I am a proud member.

Everlasting Moments.

Ever since I saw the movie Everlasting Moments, I think of photographs as everlasting moments. If you've not yet seen the film, I highly recommend it. It's a film that will stay with you and touch you deeply. It is a movie of deep meaning and beautiful photography and heartbreak and dreams and the pain, brutality, joy and reality of life.

Here are a few moments of my today, my everlasting moments...

 

 

 

1. Have you tried the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie mix? Let me tell you, it's fantastic. As good as any baked from scratch brownie. I'm not usually a fan of bake mix, but this is an exception. I'll most likely never make brownies from scratch again.
2. Air plants drying on the kitchen sill. They are the easiest plants, aside from succulents. I've written about my love for air plants before. If you want to see the post, it's here. Next to my air plants is a special little hippo. Ron brought him back for me from a long ago business trip to Belgium. He's been with me for more than fifteen years (the hippo, that is).
3. Just some beautiful green produce: a watermelon and avocados. My favorite sandwich: avocado and tomato on toasted whole wheat bread with spicy mustard, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Yum!
4. Scene No. 1 from the magic cabinet in my studio.
5. In my studio: An old doctors bag I picked up at the swap meet for $5 and antlers purchased at the same place, the same day. The antlers were $30.
6. The saddest carrot crop you ever did see. All that's missing is Scarlett on the hilltop of Tara at sunset.
7. A trinket dish (originally a cup saucer) on my bedroom dresser. 
8. The decrepit dashboard of our very-much-a-project-car Chevelle.
9. View from the stairs, looking straight down into our front rooms.
10. That blue water brings endless inspiration.
11. From my Study in Succulents series.
12. Our little clementine tree.
13. A treat for myself from The Velvet Bird. I first saw it on the beautiful Katie of Skunkboy. I knew I had to have one.
14. The end of another glorious day. So much to be grateful for.

Thank you, dear friends, for taking time out of your day to visit me. I'm so happy you did.

Until next time...Much love!

P.S. Many new items will be arriving at Fringe this week.

Today.

 

 

1. This morning's shadow play on the back patio.
2. My shadow play on the pool.
3. The circus came to town! In the form of the boy's mid-morning snack. He's been home sick for the past three days.
4. A corner of the built-in that Ron built for our bedroom.
5. Another nook of the built-in, where my old university books live.
6. Barbecued pork roast sandwich for lunch.
7. Only two left...DANG it!
8. Books that arrived in the mail. Yay!
9. The sandals Ron brought back for me from Spain.
10. Thoughts of last summer have been visiting me today. 

I hope you're enjoying your day today. Thank you for visiting.
Much love!
