my shoes: “tinkerbell” chartreuse flats

These bright & happy chartreuse flats were purchased in Spain nearly 5 years ago. I can’t believe it’s been that long – looks like it’s time for me to go back to Spain! I bought them on a whim, but every time I wear them I am so glad I fulfilled that whim. What joyful shoes.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think it’s high time I tried this peach pie I baked yesterday! I’d better hurry, since the pie appears to have already won some fans…

And, don’t forget – it’s Fabric Giveaway Week! Here’s a link to Today’s Giveaway!

from a distance: the italian alps

For today’s Challenge, “From A Distance”, I knew I had the perfect picture – because I don’t think I’ve ever had more distance between myself and a subject than when I took this shot of the Italian Alps.

Since I was flying in a giant jet, we were at an incredibly high altitude, and the tips of the alps were just barely poking through the cotton-batting-like clouds. It was so beautiful, I had difficulty looking away long enough to extract my camera from my bag; but of course, as usual, I’m glad I did.

As I was staring and snapping away at the breathtaking sight, I saw another plane in the distance!

And then the other jet flew right by! After my foray into piloting small aircraft, I’m sure the pilots were talking to each other, and I wish I could’ve heard them.

This glorious view was the perfect end to my perfect trip to Rome in February to visit with one of my best friends.

Who?

owl pincushion made for me by my aunt mary!

It’s a little owl pincushion! This little guy was a surprise made for me by my Aunt Mary! He’s so perfectly stitched & perfectly adorable. I especially love the scalloped stitches on his wings; can you see them?

It’s a beautiful day today, it was even chilly last night! The morning breezes are starting to almost sound like autumn, and I’m always ready for autumn weather. My favorite.
