Things of beauty...

May Day Bank holiday, spent largely lolling around the house, hosting visitors who punctuated the day. Back to work tomorrow after last week's absence; back to reality. There is so much going on at the moment, it's hard to keep perspective...

Country Living loveliness...bunting on May Day.

I have a thing about milk glass...so I think this picture is just dreamy...

Sad to say I am growing out the Zooey Deschanel fringe...it's just not me (anymore). But every time I see a picture like this I think 'I likey'...must work on divorcing the reality of my hairdo with that of a beautiful model...

It's children's birthday season in our house...getting ready for the annual party planning...

'The Woman in Blue' by Andre Derain. This painting is in Copenhagen's State Museum for Art...

Pretty pink peonies...

At the moment the most beautiful thing for me will be to NOT HAVE TOOTHACHE anymore. Love Julia Roberts in this shot - her teeth look super-duper healthy. I bet she doesn't get toothache...I will be back to the dentist this week.

Boodles Raindance ring...

So, this is so typical me: We went to a wedding a few months ago and there was someone there (who I didn't know that well) wearing this grey dress. I took one look at it, loved it, but did not ask her where it was from but assumed it was a designer number, probably cost a fortune, as she was that kind of girl. Months passed, I decided that I had to find out who it was by, eventually asked, to find it was from French Connection. Not that I have anything against French Connection but don't really shop there as it's...how to say...kinda young for me. So after all that, I found it online (God bless the internet) and have one winging its way to me now...
