"Hearts and flowers, ribbons and lace, the look of love upon her face." ~Unknown Life has been so busy lately that I just haven't had time to do a proper post - the kind where I devote an entire afternoon to setting up and taking photographs. I miss it! So yesterday I MADE time so that I could take some pictures for you that I have been wanting to take for ages! I love ribbons, lace, trims, embroidery, fabric flowers, etc, etc (you probably already knew that!). I have amassed quite a collection now and have been so excited to share it with you. My Mum and I use some of these things to make the GILLYFLOWERS and others are being saved for that future special project. I dip into this supply and replace things all the time. Many of these trims come from France and Japan where some of the most beautiful ribbons I have found are made. My guilty pleasure now is to visit the little ribbon store in town and find something new for my collection. I have tried to display everything well and I hope that you enjoy this little perusal. I have also added a few new things to the Etsy SHOP so stop by and have a peek! Wherever you are I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Summer week!

For over thirty years renown fashion photographer Nick Knight has been bringing us iconic images that represent multiple generations of pop culture and challenge conventional notions of beauty. Last year Knight released 15 images from his acclaimed publication Flora which were exhibited along side his new photographs featuring flowers pouring out their colors. This idyllic exhibition took place at the SHOW studio in London in the Fall of 2012. His new works are a hybrid between photography and painting that have stunning aesthetic qualities. His work is brings to mind both the delicacy of 17th and 18th century still life paintings, such as Jan Brueghel's the Elder, and classic Romanticism and the timeless interest of an artist to capture the fragility of the moment. Knight made these images using his own technique in which he introduces heat and water into the printing process. The images seen in this exhibition took Knight over 10 years of experimentation to perfect. See more after the jump!

Hello to you all!! I am so excited about the comments y'all left me about my craft room!! Thank you each so much for taking the time to let me know what you thought! I thoroughly enjoyed getting it ready for you! If you are looking for the post of my craft room, I have it on the sidebar at the top of the page. And a huge welcome to my newest followers as well!! This week I have been engrossed in trying to put together another post using the lace making pieces of trim and braid that I love. I'm always on the lookout and I recently came across a few more and added them to my collection and would like to share them with you. This little pair of black embroidery scissors has been hiding from me for the last few years. I have wanted to find them so bad so that I could use them in my blog pictures! I had to unload the top shelf of one of the 4 closets that I have stored my hoards of items in to finally locate them. They weren't actually lost, just hiding from me... I think there's something so nostalgic about the packages. Perhaps they were stored in a box or a drawer someplace for years. Probably so because they are in great condition. These examples were never used. I love the texture and the aged coloring, even the bits of rust spotted here and there add to the beauty. This particular example is one of the latest. It took me 2 days to iron and lightly starch each medallion!! I'm not usually so careful about my laces, but this braid was stretched out so much that you couldn't tell what it was! I think it turned out beautifully! And trying to find a way to store it was hard. But a handy roll of crochet thread made for a perfect place to keep it crisp and pristine. I have more to share, but I'll wait for another post for those pics. I hope you love seeing these trims and braids. I think I'm hooked. I can never have enough!! And oh my oh my, have y'all seen the new Victoria magazine with the linens and monograms all throughout???? I clutched it tightly, um, saw it tonight at Walmart totally by accident and it just flipped itself into my cart. What was I to do???? I hope you are all having a lovely July. Here in Texas we are experiencing some of the coolest, yes coolest temperatures in the last 70 years for July!! It's been wonderful! But back to the 100's this coming week. Blessings, Doni
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate romance and love and kissy-face fealty. But the ancient Romans had bloodier, drunker and more naked notions to mark the occasion.
Viele Menschen scheitern an der Liebe, weil die Angst, sich dem anderen zu öffnen grösser ist als die Sehnsucht nach Nähe & Vertrauen und die schlechten Erfahrungen stärker sind als die besten …
Consumidores complexos e paradoxais estão fazendo as empresas repensarem suas formas de segmentar o mercado. Assim como acontece com o gênero e a faixa etária, a classificação não se limita apenas à classe social ou ao poder econômico. "Desclassificar" é olhar para dentro das pessoas buscando entender suas reais motivações. Só assim será possível agrupá-las: por afinidade.
This book reviews Iris Murdoch¿s thought as a whole. It surveys the breadth of her thinking, taking account of her philosophical works, her novels and her letters. It shows how she explored many aspects of experience and brought together apparently contradictory concepts such as truth and love. The volume deals with her notions of truth, love, language,…
