Hello my friends!
First of all, thank you,
Karenfor hosting this amazing party
for a
SECOND year!
I participated in the party last year,
I didn't think you all wanted to see
my same old studio again,
so for this year:
This is how it started for me...
the potting shed to be unveiled
in all it's glory
for this year's party...
A potting shed? A studio?
A studio? Was I out of my mind?
Yes, way too small
for my large table!
Surely... it's not to be!
(Don't worry I'll show the potting shed
in a future post... it's really cute!)
But I wanted to be outdoors, to hear
church bells, doves and music from
the Healdsburg Jazz Festival!
Perfect for me that one morning ~
Said the angel below...
"Follow Me, I'll take you
on a serendipitous journey"
Come on, don't tire yet!
Pails & Churches of days gone by...
Memories with daughter
Memories with grandmaWe have arrived!
See what I mean about the large table?By the way... Wynonna is supposed to have my table's sister. Wynonna, if you're out thereIs it true, do you have a table like this?
If you are parched,
all things with bubbles (a must here!)
I know you're attending many, many
beautiful studios...
go ahead ~ CAFFEINE it is!
Perhaps a glass of Sofia?
Oui! Named after Mr. Coppola's daughter,
the winery's up the street
"To Marie Antoinette, The Movie
and Where Bloggers Create, of course!"
Olives... nicoise? picholine?
An antique bottle rack,
more memories from France & many
vintage bottlesYou can never have too many bottles
or is that, you can never try too many
kinds of Pastis while in France?
Okay... both!
Go ahead browse around...
I'll be back in a while to pick you up

talked me into having the studio here...
An everyday gazebo from the hardware store...
dreams are what you make them, right?

Sunflowers as tall as me
I'm sure you've stopped by Karen's by now,
