The Colors

I LOVE color...not like the one I can name as my favorite color...but ALL color!

Now granted some I may not love surrounding me on all four sides, but I can't say I have ever looked at a color and said "I hate that color for being a color"???

Are you like this too??? 

Every find yourself stuck at the paint chip display in Home Depot...with a smile on your face...gazing the rows of sample paint colors... and you are not EVEN buying paint ??? 

If so, you are going to love this!!!!

It is a place for us color lovers to lose hours of our life....

Design seeds

A picture broken down into the most detailed pallet....my eyes are happy!

Just a few of my "love IT" moments....and, for the creative side of us...this brings a new view to the colors combos we see, paint, smear, dab, and doodle....

This takes my idea of a Pinterest board named Color Love to a new level :)

The Away

Have not blogged in a bit :(
....but am enjoying a bit of life away from the computer :)


The Supplies

One thing I LOVE about Alabama is the woods.... and endless supply of gifts from them!

Pine cones and moss are my favorite .... and, ALL over the place...so a little of both for Easter :)

Half a pine cone for a sweet little nest base... a little moss for the lining... and a little wood bird finds a new home (love)

Love this stuff...

The WHAT

WHAT happened?????

From a (whew) finally ... to this ... in the blink of an eye ;)

Might as well make it a happy one...

The View

The Big

Has it happened to you?

You see it ... you want it ... you don't think about anything but getting it ... you get it ... you can't get it in your car :(

So at 10:00 at night ... on a cold dark street ... after the auction is done ... I stand ... with no lifeline ... and the most amazing frame mounted 3 by 5 foot embroidered patchwork antique Pakistan tapestry ... that in no way or shape will fit into any part of my car ... and if tied to the roof for the ride home would fall apart in the wind.

 

So, a crazy women stands on the curb ... jumping up and down ... to the passing cars!

... which really is a crazy women attempting to break the frame!

 

 

Problem solved...and later will be off to buy duct tape!

 

A little peek at my BIG find....

 

 



The Love

 

So I am in love...

that is what I do...
love strangers...
because of their amazing minds, stories, hearts,
messages to the world
...and to me :) 

Love these words....

  
Love her blog....Ordinary Courage
  
Loved her Ted Talk on....Vulnerability
 
 Loved her in person last night in B-ham... yippee!
 
 Going to love reading her newest book...

 
Love is good... even if you don't know the person
