What Flavor is Coral?

I LOVE everything about

Coral~
I love it because it is natural,
it is beautiful
&
not one piece is the same
as another~
Sometimes I wonder...
If Red Coral were a flavor
what do you think
it would it taste like?
Do you think...
sweet like candy
sour like fresh summer fruit
spicy hot like winter
or
salty like the ocean?
Maybe some of these
images will help you decide~

These old French papers that
Corey at
Tongue in Cheek
found at her local French Brocante
are driving me crazy!
Coral seaweed~

I adore this ring designed by
Mesi Jilly~

These coral shoes were designed in Paris~
by Roger Viver for
Christian Dior.
You can read about them
Here~

I found this coral velvet dress
made by Rezoom on Etsy
Here!

Coral
inspires me!
This all white framed coral mirror
I could hang anywhere
and be happy~
Maybe you want to think about
what flavor White Coral
would be...
Creamy sweet, Cool Mint,
or Salty?

If I have a choice,
I always seem to lean toward
old
&
one of a kind,
sometimes even funny or weird items
{according to some}
over new trendy objects.

I love this corner!
This chair is covered in new coral fabric
but the chair is old~
This make a perfect juxtaposition~

Lynn at
Paris Hotel Boutique
found this amazing old
iron coral table from France
at her local flea market last year!
Sorry it is sold~
But
there are some of the best
vintage items you'll ever see
available at her online shop!

My friend Sandy at
A Gift Wrapped Life
found this image
that I LOVE so much!
Sandy has a coral line of gifts
&
coral gift wrapped items
at her online shop
Oh la la~

One of her items are these linen embroidered
guest towels~

Omg!
And look how she Wraps!!

O.K.
If you know me...
you know that I'll have
to show you this
coral cake today
too~

This is some of my coral
in my home
I want to share with you~
On the right is a piece of coral that
reminds me of a nest, it dips in the center.
I have pale blue stone eggs in it
and a sun dried white crab...
I told you I like funny things~

Last but not least~
I am a crab & bug nut...
Two of my most treasured pieces,
are made by my
sweetest friend Lynda~
She makes bug & crab bodies out of recycled metal
&
places old brooches on top.
This one is an old
red coral crab~
&
Below is one she put
White coral on ~
to make my favorite bug~
Have a Good Week!
