Cupcake Pedestals

How cute are these?

Serving cupcakes,

I don't think this is very glamorous considering how 

beautifully they can be adorned.

So much work goes into these little cakes.

Shouldn't they be put on pedestals?

Nothing like a few barn yard animals on your table.

But if you live on a farm in real life

or just in your mind (like me)

it is a great idea.

Do you know someone who bakes beautiful cupcakes?

Do you like her?

:o  hehehehhe

If so......

this might be a fabulous gift for her (or him).

XXXXX's i am off today

a set of 6 is $ 42.00
and, like i said; if you like her 42 bucks worth
you can go here to purchase

Something Fabulous on Captiva Island

on the west coast of Florida.

Let's hope 'the spill' doesn't destroy this tiny island forever.
*Vintage Salviati pendants suspend from above, while reverse-painted glass forms the back splash.
I fell in love with the colors.....
and I have a real thing for reverse painted back splashes!!

But this is really to die for!!




*Furniture by Oscar de la Renta for Century 
The owners of the home have their breakfast out here.

What do you think of this place? 


Do you like the colors?


my head cold has progressed to a sore throat that is killing me.
and the coughing is no fun either!!!

Pied A Terre

I think featured collections that are sometimes unusual 

make a room very interesting. 

It often can give ones guests a peek into 

who the home owner really is 

and what he or she is about. 

It seems to me like the designer of this space, 

Stephan Shubel 

 has a great deal of clarity on this aspect of interior design.

This is a Paris Apartment featured in a design magazine back in 2005.

The image above would make a great painting I think.

as featured in Elle Decor  - April 2005

It is obvious to me that his work stands the test of time.

These images are taken 5 years ago, and many design blogs are featuring

items, finishes, and appointments that he used back in 2005.

Look at the pillow on the right...........
this is catching on like wild fire just now
in  furniture, home design, and the bloggie world.

Do you like his work?
Could you live here?

Fresh Eyes

Mondays....................

*Our thoughts form our world. Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Through the thoughts you run through your mind every minute of every day, you can create a rich, rewarding life or a living nightmare. Remember, there is no objective reality. We see the world through our own set of unique lenses and we all have the power to interpret the world in a positive way if we so choose.

 As one wise thinker said: “we see the world, not as it is but as we are.” 

*By Robin Sharma

I know I don't see myself as I am. 

I am so sure.....that I always look older, fatter, and shorter than others see me.

It has been said that 'the more harshly we judge ourselves,

the more harshly we will judge others.'

I think this is true.

How do I see others?

Do I see them greater than they are?

Do I see them as being less significant than they are?

I need to see things as though I were looking through a keyhole.

If I were to look through a keyhole.....

I would be unaware of what is on the other side.

I couldn't prejudge what or who was on the other side either.

I will practice this all week.

Sometimes I need a Fresh Set of Eyes.

How about you you ?

Emilio Pucci And Capellini

                                         

This was EMILIO PUCCI’S shop on East 64th when I lived there. 

Looking in the windows was like looking in a candy shop.

The master at work.

A few Vintage frocks,

I would have loved a pair of these.

You know people have tried imitate his designs.....but you can always tell the difference.

Get  a load of this....

Emilio Pucci was so much the man of the 60's that he was commissioned

to design the uniforms for Braniff Airlines. 

Braniff Airways introduced imaginative new flight attendant uniforms created by famed fashion designer Emilio Pucci. The plastic bubble helmet, to protect hairdos on windy tarmacs, was an integral part of the Pucci-designed uniforms.

I wonder if they wore those nutty helmets? 

The new shop on 5th.

Pucci painted his first scarf in 1949. Hand-colored drawings for scarves from the 1960s and ’70s typify the vibrant colors and patterns that characterized his work.

Handbags from the ’60s and ’70s. Pucci once said of his designs, which defined an era, “I revolutionized fashion because of intuition. Certain things were in the air.”

Silk jersey and silk organza dresses in several silhouettes from his 1970 collections hang in a closet.

In 2001 the firm joined forces with Cappellini to produce a new line of furniture.

The designer’s daughter, Laudomia, and his widow, Marchesa Cristina Pucci di Barsento,

 continue the Archivio Emilio Pucci which is dedicated to preserving his dynamic legacy.

Did any of you own a Pucci dress or scarf ??

Did you like his dresses?

And what do you think about Pucci joining forces with Capellini?

I like the idea.
