A Morning After....



There is always....
A Morning After
the storm~




I can't wait to see
what treasures I find!
My blue blue ocean
has always given me amazing
Gifts from the Sea~





My whole life is inspired
by her~
Her words pound in my head,
~~like the waves~~
She inspires me,
my color palette, my design,
always whispering
what is real and what is not.
Where beauty really is...
and always reminding me of
constant change, movement
&
beautiful simple simplicity.




My treasure not yet found,
is a
~~real blue crab~~
There is such a thing you know!
I was told the storms may bring me one...
So I will be on the cold wet sand
looking for Mr. Blue this
weekend
for sure!




Have a special weekend my friends!

~~~~

~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Find something
that is something
to you
but nothing to others....
It is good for the soul.

It's a secret from my friend,
the sea~


XOXO

    ...so loving Mr. Blue, (the crab!) He reminds me of the one in the movie "Simply Irresistible"
    I do hope you find one too, and enjoy being at one of the most inspiring places on earth ~ the beautiful sea!!! xo

    Dearest Janet,

    If you should find one of these lovely blue crabs, I would love to see where you will perch him! I can only imagine what it would be like to live so close to a beautiful ocean- the climate, breeze, and the rhythmic sound of the waves would certainly affect my preferences in decor and attire. I hope that you have a pleasant time searching the sands for this beautiful blue creature...

    Wow! What a wonderful post. I relate to your love of treasures of the sea. I dream of finding a beach that looks like image #3. Simply 'buying' shells is just not the same as finding them. Have a great weekend.

    I too love the sea. The pounding surf and endless expanse of blue calms my soul. But lacking the sea, I come to visit you and your beautiful posts light up my day. Best wishes for a happy weekend.
