i want to paint this model. She's magnificent in her: Jackie Kennedy headscarf and shades, earnings and bangles. Love the sweater buttons.

I want a bike. I want one because they seem like a fun thing to do and the first lady of Paris France has a bike. She rides around on her bike. Imagine. So I'll get a bike and say to myself okay I'm not first lady of France but I am the ancestor of Queen Anne Boleyn. That should give me courage...if ever I do get a bike.

Dear Mayor Bloomberg, I promise to only have cake if its a special occasion and to NEVER have more cake then would meet your approval. But sometimes I feel like Andy Warhol. You know one thing Andy liked to do was, he liked to just go get a fancy Birthday Cake, and just eat the whole thing himself. Have you ever? I am so excited that Starbucks bought La Boulange.

Art and craft + Luxury for good design


Images of Bettina Prentice's apt. in Vogue 

artistic. love the black couch!

Normally I don't like a skull but love this one with its friend the orchid :)

to make it look like it belongs there. Her books are beautifully done (stacked)

Always love a good art wall behind a couch with the couch moved away from the wall.

I learned more about that design trick from Abigail Ahern's blog. Ahern is a great design explainer.

Abigail says pull furniture away from walls 

I'm really into birds these days. All kinds of birds so I love the paper mache birds. 

Also noteworthy are:

Greta Garbo's eyes (bedroom side tables)

Bob Dylan (nicely framed)

Alice in wonderland (always loved that image)

Baby Blue is always a pretty color for a bedroom. This ones so nice very oceany feel

Did you know that orange is opposite blue on a color wheel? Yes so many shades of blues

can go with many shades of oranges including the now insanely popular "coral"

I'm about to color my hair this week. I blogged it on The Crafty Cameleon blog.

My hair will turn a reddish blonde color

its a very pretty color as you can see here on Bettina

Mine wont look anywhere near that good

but maybe I'll get lucky :)

Her dog looks very sweet. Is it a apricot Bichon Frise ?

if this doesn't make you want orchids with a matching skull  and Ikat pillows nothing ever will :)

I can't get over how funny the skull is. It's a great one!


Love the art and ikat 

the room is so calming in this blue.


love the vintage glasses!

My daughter likes wood furniture like this


a good place for stuff 



red Parrot tulips + paper mache bird




the budda looks a bit lonely down there :( I would add a few nice plants

or put a pretty rug under the table and some more stuff.  Blue African violets would be nice.


Bob Dylan as Decor. 
I want Bob Dylan wall paper. 
or a Bob Dylan Pillow :)

Pretty little Crochet Flowers



Im going to sleep now :) no time to write ... please enjoy all the pretty and I'll be back to fill in all the details.
I will. I'll come back and tell you all about the 365 days of crochet flowers (I'm on day 26) for My Laguna beach Quilt, and about the Ladybugs (I made a crochet ladybug (very cute) and she's lawyered up and copyrighted and everything :D I named the ladybug "My Matisse Ladybug" because her spots are so Matisse. I'll tell you everything that's going on since over a month ago. But I need about 9 hours of wonderful sleep.
