Reflect and Listen….

What normally is a day to catch up with all the things you could not accomplish earlier in the week,  Saturday is usually quite busy for most of us. But if at all possible,  take a moment to reflect on all the good in your life, look around you and see the smallest of benefits….

Remember those you so dearly love….

Listen to your heart and see where it may lead you today….

Have a beautiful Saturday…..

Dandelion Style!

Before we say goodbye to the Dandelion, I felt it important to share the fashion and style influence of our little weed!   Take this Botanical Print for instance.  Like Maps on a wall, this would be a great piece of art work for any room in your house!

The bright yellow paint on the wall is called “Dandelion” by Martha Stewart!

You might sleep better at night with this Dandelion print French bed.

Wall decals are so popular now.  You can place them anywhere and when you’re ready to move just pull’m off the wall…so simple and fun!

I actually own this pillow from West Elm and I love it! Its so cheerful !

This a great modern twist for a ceiling light…they called it “Dandelion” from Moooi !

I especially love this Danish twist of a Dandelion ceiling light!

There is an abundance of Dandelion Art work out there.  You can find this for sale at Etsy (dand papermoth)

I really like this Dandelion on stretch canvas.  You can buy this  at Bed Bath and Beyond.

This might cheer you up in the morning…Dandelion Sheets!

How about writing a letter on this Dandelion Card!

Yes! This is a Dandelion Plate !

Every girl needs a Dandelion necklace.  You can find this at  Etsy by humblebeads!

Yep! You might need a Dandelion T-shirt for those yard duties!

But Wait!  There’s more…how bout these Dandelion earrings?

After all the Dandelion possibilities…you might need to sit down and rest for a few minutes in this leaf green Dandelion inspired chair!

Well, I don’t want to take the Dandelion options to far, like this fellow!

So until next summer ….

I’ll be lookin for you at the Dandelion Festival !!!

Meadow Grass

“In the meadow grass

The innocent white daisies blow,

The dandelion plume doth pass

Vaguely to and fro,

The unquiet spirit of a flower

that hath too brief an hour

Ellen Mackay Hutchinson  (1933)

If its Saturday…then its gonna be a Spa Day!

Good Morning my blogger family!  Its a gorgeous day here in the Mountains! I’m sittin here on my front porch sippin on a hot cup tea watching my dog Paco play in the yard.  There is a cool breeze  and the local birds are singing along with the wind chimes hanging overhead.

I think I’ll grab my hat….And go for a morning bike ride….I’ll take in the sights along the way….

Collect a flower for my day…

Then prepare  a nice summer style lunch…

Oh!!…and the mint facial I read about in a magazine….

And as  the day comes to a close,  return to my front porch to watch the sun fade away and the moon take its rightful place ….

What are you planning to do today…. I hope you find some time for yourself!

Sun Seekers!

Of all the delightful changes summer provides , Daisies are one of the most seasonally cheerful of them all !  These days no matter where I walk or drive, our streets and highways are lined with daisies!  Its fantastic!  This sturdy , happy little flower has turned our city into one giant collective meadow.

Roadside Beauties!!!!

These hand picked daisies will cheer up any room in your house !

“Sloop where thou wilt, thy careless hand some random bud will meet, Thou canst no tread, but thou wilt find the Daisy at thy feet”  Thomas Hood

Daisies are serious sun seekers !

“The earth laughs in flowers”   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here’s a Daisy for you…hope you have a wonderful sun shiny day!
