Take time to savor a delicious cup of tea!

Keep cool.....

Wear lots of pretty jewelry.  Go ahead and cluster those bangles, create your own style.

Take time for a cuddle and some tenderness

& dress to the nines!

June....you arrived but left us in such a hurry. It was a busy month in our household, lots of things to celebrate (like we needed a reason).

Our youngest celebrated Prom on a beautiful sunny day. Yes, the sun decided to grace us with her presence allowing us to take some lovely photos. The best-son-in-the-world arrived home just in time (after working in Alberta) for some special captured moments.

A family friend graciously bathed Gabby the Arabian Pony so she would look "snow white" for the photo shoot. Picking the hay out of the lace was a bit of a challenge but worth it for the look of love....in their eyes.  A girl and a pony ~ a love affair.....

A love affair indeed......we celebrated our 34th Wedding Anniversary on June 17th.  We have so much to be thankful for.  Life is good.

We celebrated in her joy. We cheered her accomplishments.

The sun made her grand appearance just in time for some pretty photos.

We even found time to be silly!  There always has to be time for some silliness no matter what the occasion.

I love this photo ~ not sure if it is Ascot or The Kentucky Derby?      The colors are very pleasing (eye candy). The ladies look so pretty all dressed in their finest and the gentlemen look dashing in their white suits. Wish I was in that crowd wearing a fabulous hat!

Looking back on my teenage years, I recall my Mother's love of the color "pink".

The rosy color gave her so much pleasure whether it was her fashion styles, home decor, or lipstick(s). The color seemed to surround her with happiness.  Being at that somewhat rebellious age, I naturally HATED the color pink!  YUCK, was my first impression when she showed me her new pink fluffy bath towels or her pretty pink lace blouse.  Why couldn't she choose another color (?) ~ for goodness sake, there was a rainbow of colors to choose from!

As the years go by, my ideas and "likes" have changed. I find myself looking at the-once-dreaded pink in a new light.  The color started to sneak into my pallet with the purchase of a soft pink glossy lipstick.  Then I found an adorable pink purse with a rose on the front that I couldn't pass up.  Before I knew it, the faded pink peony nightgown with the softest lace was hanging in my closet.

 

Things I love....

A passion for clothing ~ no matter what the season. Celebrate style!

Oh, for the love of purses, big or small, square or round....

Flowers, pure & simple

It's always so much fun when I find something I really love....like this very pretty mantle clock!

Then again I can't pass by a gorgeous hat without my heart going "a flutter".

A few simple words of endearing love...

Soon the chapter in the book will come to a close but the ending is ever so clear. You have so much to look forward too. Your life is just beginning as an independent young woman. You have many options but you don't have to decide right away. Some of your talents....you are amazing in front of the camera.

You create magic behind the camera. You capture the essence of beauty....behind the lens.
