Feather Plumes


Feathers,
for many reasons
have always been special to me~
I love these white feather shoes
from Paris!!

And
this ring would tickle someones fancy...
or maybe someones nose~~


There is something about this dress,
more than being
glamorous
&
whimsical~
it radiates elegance
&
it shimmers...




Oh gosh...
Feather Dior shoes~

Feathers are so light...
in a very honest sort of way~

So airy...
My favorite are white feathers...
but
I even love feathers in
coral pink
&
blush
and a little
black is o.k. too~


This ostrich feather bolero is
the very Best!

A feather chandelier!
So unique
like a cloud~


Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire
dancing
with feathers~
I love feathers!
Have you ever seen
a feather float in the sky?


A
vintage millinery feather
headpiece~

Have a very light & feathery...
whimsical & airy...
elegant & shimmery...
unique & honest...
kind of week~
And
let your days, hours & minutes
dance,
like feathers~

Living in White

To me,
there is nothing more beautiful
than White....
Above is
a favorite image of cool white~

A favorite image of warm white~

A favorite image of just white~

I think I would have to break the rules
&
add a Turquoise chandelier
in the middle of
my whites~

All in all...
I love white on white
&
I love all shades of
white~

He teaches through living.
He see's through wide eyes.
He hears,

I honor him for being the Best
Dad ever!!
