Shop the magic!





A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
Colin Powell

And then sometimes the magic slips in .... and makes a piece of work really special. Some gorgeous pix from other artists that caught my eye these day:
Exquisite paper shoes and bluebird, handmade by my dear blogfriend Anita Rivera, who just quit her job as a teacher to be a full time artist - so exiting!  Romantic necklace with pearls and flowers, so perfect to style up a simple white summer dress by Rustic Gem and a lovely vintage style painting on an old book page by Coco de Paris.

Happy midweek to you flowers, see you soon!

    Do you know the feeling to unexpectedly open up a page on a blog then SEE YOURSELF????

    THIS iS SUCH AN HONOR MY DEAR FRIEND!!!!!!!! Did you see my latest? I just entered another item:

    A blue Marie Antoinette style dress in paper.

    Oh how WONDERFUL OF YOU TO DO THIS!!! The exposure itself is the beginning of helping our hard work be seen. The magic comes after all the sweat, that is for sure!

    Sending you much love and thanks, Anita

  14. Good morning beautiful!

    How are you holding up in this heat? We got our first day of the five-day forecast of unbearable heat.....we had the air conditioner on last night and instead of our usual tea, I made ICED TEA and I could not stop drinking it! It is hard to sleep upstairs in my loft bedroom, so three times in the night I changed locations of where to sleep!!! The price you pay for summer!

    Oh dearest, you are still so busy. But at least the season offers so much in DIVERSIONS and I do hope you will get some FUN TIME to paint. Now that I am off of school, each day has been dedicated to do something creative and it is healing for the soul.

    MAY YOU HAVE A PERFECT DAY TODAY!!!!!!! MERCI again for this sweet post....I am having SO MUCH FUN creating! Anita

  15. GOOD MORNING SWEET FRIEND!

    Oh dearest, we too are having very hot weather. It was 90 degrees Farenheit yesterday and it will continue on that way until next week. It is not good to be out too long in this weather, and YOU HAVE TO WORK SO HARD.....drinking ICED TEA is great! I made a WONDERFUL chocolate hazelnut tea with milk yesterday and iced it. It was PERFECT!!!!!!

    I want you to take a breather today...something, somehow! I wish you a relaxing and magical DAY!!! Anita
