It's raining outside.

Inside too. Violins in my heart.

Shadows are lengthening, hydrangers are blooming. 

I like the blue ones best. 

And my blog was mentioned here. how lovely.

this morning

I started reading this book years ago. It's about Africa and Italy and Family and Love.

I'm going to finish it this summer.

I need to read more. again.

Gigi must have put this drawing inside the cover when she was very young.

I really like this family tree. There is a Gigi in it, named after her granmama Giselle.

Like my family.

Start a blog and the world could be your oyster. Literally.

Today I received these divine pearl earrings from the very lovely and generously thoughtful Rachel.

All the way from the United States. So so so kind of you Rachel.

And a sweet handmade purse with a piece of glass from the sea.

Thank you. From the bottom of my pearl loving heart. x

I painted this photo of gigi when she was 2 years old.

And I just found this photo that my mother's father painted of her.

Look at their eyes.

Nearly there. I am gearing up to open my online shop.

Maybe in another week. I'm excited.

I will be selling original prints and collages.

And many many thanks to all those that come by every day.

I am loving it all. The ripples that are being created.

I appreciate all the wonderful women that comment regularly.

It makes it all worthwhile. xxx

We went to Sculpture By The Sea last night.

Which I look forward to every year.

But between the rain and the wind and somehow feeling very caught in the middle between my mother and my daughter I only managed to take one photo of the sculptures.
