summer, in a jar

adventures, momentous, keep sakes, & crafts, in blue

true love sets sail

very teeny i know, but still a beautiful adventure

in search of fresh air

The Ultimate in Lady Lesson, a complete room makeover.
Ben is letting my redecorate his childhood room and have the best time of my life in the process.
The idea is to create a place to draw, read, study, learn, and breathe. Jars and jugs of shells, seed pods, stones, feathers, leaves and flowers. Field guides, national geographic, world globes, and art supplies galore. Martha Stewart "pencil" for the walls, with white trim and furniture. soft, light, beautiful, a place I can be far far away from the sounds and smells of Harlem NY. A true artistic retreat. Stay tuned for updates. Before & After photos sure to come. oh, yeah, and this probably means I'll quit my job and become a free lance decorator/organizer. Bombs Away!

Try as I might to have a Liz Taylor grace in the sun, 

I end up looking something like a walk in freezer....
