Hump Day Happiness

Happy Hump Day! I hope it's been a good week for you. I've been busy, and a little down lately. I think it has to do with some changes at work which equals stress. I'm hoping all will settle down and go back to how it was when I started back in September.

 Today is my day off and I spent the lovely morning with K. He fixed my bike! The back tire had a leak so he changed the tube, greased anything that needed to be  slip and sliding, and now all I have to do is add air to my new tire and I am good to go. I love that I can bike to work this summer, and get about much quicker then my feet can take me. I'm not a car owner, and I am in no rush to own one in the city. I can get anywhere I need to go by bike, foot, or transit. When the time comes where I do live elsewhere then that is when I will invest in a Jeep. I hope I look as fabulous as this girl with her floral bike.

Foodie Love!

Happy Wednesday everyone! The week is almost up! It is time to check out some yummy food or dessert and plan your weekend dinner date. I am not a baker or someone who really enjoys to make a nice dinner. I love to eat though, so find me one of those people who loves to bake and make food, and I will be there to enjoy and eat it all up. I was on Pinterest today and looking through my lovely food board. I thought you would enjoy these beautiful dishes or desserts. Which one do you want now:

Wednesday has Talent!

I love to paint and because of this I have a great appreciation for those who do it really well. When I paint, I love the feeling of calm and peace while I work. I also enjoy finding the right colors and textures. Today I am posting some really great nature themed paintings by really beautiful artists.

These two paintings are by Amy Talluto,whos paintings I first found on 20 x 200.com. This first painting is called Sweet William and the second painting is called Blue Pool. Amy works exclusively with landscape imagery in my paintings and drawings and has a great collection on her website. 

I love her subject matter and the colors are so vibrant and beautiful.


 The second artist is a fellow Etsy shop owner who's paintings I first found on We heart it, and from there I found her lovely shop on Etsy . Brandy Cattor has a great eye and I loved these two nature themed paintings and the yellow used in this second painting is brilliant. The first painting is called Intrigue and the second painting is called Evergreens and Yellows.

The last two paintings are by Jaime Lauler Solberg and her artwork was shown today on the front page of Etsy in a treasury. I loved the mood and feeling of her work.

The first painting is called Cloud second painting is called Back to Dark. You can find more of Jaime's artwork on her website.
