Pretty is ...





.... soft grey, pearls, millinery and red lips ...






 ... dew kissed foxgloves ...





... a satiny bow ...






 ... soft shimmer ...






... fanciful shoes ...







... a frippery fascinator ...






... and flowers and forks ...

Teeny tiny printer-y goodness!


 

I confess to having something of an obsession with miniature things.  Miniature things that actually do major functions are even more obsession-worthy.


This little (wireless!) printer is just about the cutest techy-thing I've seen in forever.  As I write so infrequently (never) about technology here, a post on a wee device is kind of a Big Deal.


But it's cute, and cute matters here darn it!

Where oh where have I been?




It's already early July ... how did that happen?  






Since my last blog post here, I've been working feverishly on my main blog.  I've abandoned my well-intentioned blog The Picture of Pretty because there's just not enough time.  I started walking, lost some more weight, got into a brief but fairly tempestuous relationship with a handsome foreign-born man (oooh heartache, you are a stern taskmaster) ... in other words, I've been living my life and times just goes by.


I've paid scant attention to the aesthetic aspects of my life, and I miss that.  I broke out a new set of sheets today (very Shabby Chic) -- white, pink roses, countryside pretty -- and got inspired by them.  There's so much I still want to do with this odd shaped, cookie-cutter apartment. 


I also went blond(ish), and am convinced anew that God made a mistake.  That he should have finished the job before I popped out of the oven;  born with frosted hair I was, when I should've been blonde.  Are you there God?  If you're listening, it's time for a little miracle.


Hope your Summer is progressing nicely and that you've been bringing beauty into your days on a regular basis.  Because guess what -- if we don't do it for ourselves, nobody else will!
