Kaitie's new beau surprised her with this lovely rose before their dinner date. It was insanely sweet and even a little romantic. It's just beautiful!

Chillaxxin'
I understand that wine connoisseurs may select a bottle of wine for its vintage, or its dryness or it land of origin. Me? Well, I buy a bottle of wine for its label. Well, I am somewhat selective. I know I like white wines. The tannins in the red wines give me hellacious headaches.
The other day, I went into the liquor store to treat myself to a bottle and I stalked the aisle for about ten minutes. I saw lovely labels that looked as though they were a watercolor painting, some that were very simple, some that were over-the-top vivid and I had made a selection when I spied this bottle. First the name caught my eye and I giggled about that, then I saw the cutest hippo in the upper lefthand corner. Gosh! He was cute! So I brought him home.
I uncorked the bottle and slid a movie into the dvd player. It was a nice and relaxing evening. It was.....chillaxin'!

This is my pink "Just Enough Ruffles Scarf" that I finished knitting a couple of weeks ago. I finally got my vintage dress form. She looks good. I saw another one almost identical to this one. It still had the sticker on it indicating it was sold through Sears Roebuck & Co. in the 1950's. I need to find a name for her. I was thinking I'd call her LuLu.

Quincy would tell you these are not icicles...rather, they are sticks of ice.

Chuckles....A fun self-portrait-y kind of day. This shot is kind of wild in color. The shoes are faded red and the socks are red and bright pink.
I met with a prospective client today. It went well.

Window Shopping
Out and about with Amanda today in Castle Rock at The Barn. We saw so many wonderful, beautiful things. It made me wish I had a fat wallet...for sure!

It arrived today via FedEx. Even more beautiful than what I remembered when I found it at the jewelry store.
I strolled into the jewelry store that day for giggles and grins. There were several people crowded around the jewlery cases. I wanted to just peek at the bridal jewelry so I started at the far end. One of the store's sales associates came right over to me and asked if she could get anything out of the case for me. I looked into the display...and there it was. EXACTLY the ring I'd imagined. A princess cut center stone flanked by sapphires.
I pointed to the ring under the glass. Renee unlecked the case and pulled the ring out and placed it in my reach. I took it from the display mount and placed it on my finger. It was a PERFECT fit. I just knew it was my ring. .... and now it really is!
