Take me Home............or traveling

Today I ventured out early to "Tuesday Morning" for their current sale - these are a few of the items that called out "choose me, choose me". The concrete planter is already "mossy" and the shade of green I love. The two decorating books are great - especially love Country Living's "Country Color Combinations", some beautiful photos and use of paired colors. The sweet little green silk gift bag with tassels will be perfect to hold a gift for my Northwest art friend - she loves embroidery as well as tassels!! The balls of textured yarn in Spring colors will be useful in my art projects. I also found plain cards and envelopes at bargain prices, and a box of cards - Van Gogh's famous Starry Night, Cafe de Nuit, Irises etc., this for my granddaughter as he's her favorite artist.

At the Cafe de Nuit, Arles

A hot June day in Provence - how lucky to be visiting such fabulous places when one is nine years old - hooray for Grandparents who travel!! Arles - loving the history of the place where Vincent Van Gogh spent time painting, drinking and fighting! Such a sad life but such beautiful art encompassing all the brilliant, saturated colors of Provence and the South of France.
