taking the time to make note of a few things that make the days extra sweet.
Do you ever smile at the clouds? I can’t help but be amazed by the beauty of the sky.
Apparently, I’m in hyper-adoration mode for tangelos and Sandra Juto… The comments on her wrist worm giveaway remind me how small the world is and how great the internet is at connecting people. It’s just everyone listing their favorite movies. It warms my heart a little when someone else talks about how much they love Me and You and Everyone We Know, Before Sunset, Strictly Ballroom and all things Almodovar.
Esthero… One of my favorite singers, ever ever, posted a song that leaves me with a tear stained face. There’s such beauty in its simplicity. Black Mermaid stirred something. It not only made me happy, but it moved me to use those moments, so easily wasted, doing what I’m here to do.
Nikole Herriot, of Forty-sixth at Grace, makes and photographs such beautiful cakes. I want to make more cakes. I want to make lots of pretty cakes. I want to forage for antique bundt tins. (♥: Okay, breathe.) Innnnnn. Ouuuuuuuttttt. Thx. I needed that.
Still working on booking a trip to visit relatives while the William Eggleston exhibition is at the Art Institute of Chicago. I don’t really own a coat. So, I just need it to be, you know, warmer.
Uh-oh! I can get a bit of stellar photog right here in Beverly Hills. Gursky at the Gagosian opened last week. Sweet!
Counting the days… The Art of the Steal opens this weekend here in LA. It looks like I’m about to get on an emotional roller coaster. Dr. Barnes and his collection changed the way I see and appreciate art.
Ahhh, the art of making me happy. It’s a challenging craft that I’m learning to practice every single day.
