I came across these "Purple plates at Marshalls...for $1.00 ea. I have nothing purple...so I bought them to challenge myself. One thing lead to another as I pulled from other pieces I had and well....Here You have it!...I actually love it, what do you think?

Green, white, and purple....with a splash of Yellow...I never would have dreamed!!!!
We all love layers, don't we?...


Never complete without "Polka Dots"



Can you see the sweet peas in the center piece?...


Put this together to add a little French flare...





Can you believe this little wine and Cheese book is the Tablescape colors!!!!


Even a green teabag cover...











Lavender in the polka dot bowl...I needed more Purple!, Eat at your own risk !, Ha!


Glassware...Pier 1, years ago...

Come, follow me...

My niece, Alissa Will , took this photo while camping with her dog Basil... Don't you just want to follow this walkway and see where it leads? I love photos like this that draw you in and make you wonder what's up ahead. Kind of like the road of life...
you only see just so far, slowly, eventually, the path unfolds to expose all the wonders and sorrows that make up this unique path each of us follows. I guess that's the point...in order to experience the life, the path, we must put one foot in front of the other and make the choice to either press on or stand still. Where are you today?
Pressing on?...Standing still?...Whichever, take it all in, never will it be the same as this day. May your steps be filled with anticipation and your hearts with Wonder. Thanks for sharing Alissa...oh, you too Basil...xoxo~Kathy~

Picture Cards, old school...

Did a little "junking" with Mr. Wonderful last weekend... Saw a box in a corner marked "FREE"...
Peeked in and saw these cards waving at me...

I knew immediately what I would do with them...


Worked all day putting these into some mixed-media projects...



Sure was fun... will share soon. Have a "Picture Perfect" Wednesday dear ones, xoxo~Kathy~
