WATERCOLOR PRINTS IN STYLE

It is been a nice and exiting week! I had a blast with my family on vacation at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club this week.

This place was established in 1928 and I think they still manage to project a relaxing and fun atmosphere, with is great for a family reunion or just plain rest and relaxation!

Breakfast

TREND: WATERCOLOR PRINTS

A beautiful look for spring and summer, watercolor prints bring an artistic vibe to any piece. Watercolor prints can be abstract or detailed and come in a wide variety of patterns, colors, or images. There’s a watercolor print piece for every taste!

We love the soft, muted look of watercolor, especially in bright colors or pastels for the warmer months. Read on for examples of ways to wear watercolors!

WATERCOLOR INSPIRATION FOR SUMMER

OLD FRENCH DOORS and FAÇADES

CLASSIC

OLD

 and NEW

Today I wanted to share on of my favorite quotes from Helen Keller:

"When one door of happiness closes

another opens!

But often we look so long at the closed door 

that we do not see the one 

which has been opened for us."

Which door might be opening up for you today?

Five THINGS that make me HAPPY

Today I decided to get down to business and clean out some things for the summer arrival of my youngest son after graduating from aviation academy. I did what I NEVER thought I would do....
I threw out (not true.... I carefully placed on the curb for recycling :) all of my beloved ..... magazines!

Never mind that they broke my husband's grandma's dresser with their sagging weight or that I can probably find every single image that was ever in them in Pinterest now. It was still a nostalgic moment for me!

5 things that make me happy..... so here goes:

1. Art and every part of it - Making it, Sharing it, Talking about it, Selling it, and Discovering it...

2. Traveling and seeing new places and learning about new cultures ... getting inspired .... and enjoying their culinary tidbits...

3.  ETSY community and a lot of new opportunities and of course more new challenges every day..... 

 4 .  A good book makes me happy - this one I got from my last trip to Paris and now it is on my nightstand... or a new Project Runway episode (... I can't wait for a new episode ... hopefully this summer :)

5. And last but not least, What Makes Me Happy: 

My boys' big and small accomplishments and as mom my opportunity to enjoy those small moments together that make for unforgettable memories.....

Congrats!

This list can go on and on .... If my list has inspired you let me know what is on your list of favorites!
