Candle Stick Vignette

A little corner of my kitchen. The super tall candle stick was black when I bought it. A mixture of grey with a hint of blue went over that. This is a rather neutral color now. Softer than black. It has elaborate carving on it. Large bamboo platter from Ikea.

Love Note Letters and Poem

The little details can speak the loudest.

"A little note of cheer
right from eye to heart
no one can hear it
but one can feel it
lighten our step
bring a smile
lift our head
messages are powerful "

Candylei

I made these tiny letter muslin letters and this little love-line, not to be confused with clothes line, travels about the house. No sewing needed.

French Shabby Chic Roses ACEO Painting

Our pink peonies and roses will soon be jolting to life again and making their magical 'parfum!' The bare-leg roses have some swelling leaf buds now. Gardens that overflow with fragrant peonies and roses transform us. They take us to Versailles, France. We feel like we are princesses out for a walk, even if we're muddied up standing with a shovel in hand, clothed in white victorian/edwardian lacy dresses. We feel elegant and light headed...all because of the natural beauty around us. Gardens are magical and enchanting and ours is just starting to wake up.

I painted this oil aceo above titled Blossoming French. The softest colors and brushstrokes were used to portray the romance that gardens make. It is for sale on ebay.
