Beautiful Silk Suit on eBay

Here is a fabulous silk suit I have for sale in my eBay store.  It's a classic suit made from 100% silk jacquard. It's navy with an ivory pattern - a modern dot. I love the designer details - large covered buttons, and tucked detail on the cuff.

Here is a fact for those who are looking for eco fashion choices.  Silk is biodegrade-able, meaning it will eventually break down into mulch and go back to the earth. This is in contrast to materials made of petroleum products that may never break down. This is one aspect of silk that makes it desirable to eco chic customers. 
Silk clothing is versatile, comfortable to wear, and used in high fashion apparel. 
You can find more great silk items on eBay for nice prices!

Naturally Sweet and Simple Lemonade

Try this... Juice 2 or 3 lemons, fill a glass half full with white grape juice, add the fresh lemon juice and ice.  It makes refreshing lemonade without adding all that sugar. I used Trader Joe's white grape juice and Meyer lemons from my neighbors tree. Simple and delicious!

Marin Museum of Contemporary Art - Altered Book Exhibit and Fundraiser

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area in May this year I suggest stopping by this show to see something unique. It's really interesting to see how different artists de-constructed and reconstructed books into works of art. There are over 150 pieces in the gallery so it will take some time to go through.  It is an interactive display. You can borrow white gloves at the entrance if you want to open and move and turn the 3D sculptures. There's all kinds of mixed media - wire, wood, feathers and clay.  There is something for everyone. You will see some fantastic modern art with only a few pieces that seem like a display or a craft project. If you want to support the museum there are many sculptures, paintings and wall hangings to purchase for the cause.

Spring Garden Inspiration

Here is a picture of a pretty front yard.  I passed by this garden last week when I was out walking my dog. I love the roses and the mix of colored annuals in this garden. It is the season for gardening and I am fashionably late in getting started. I hope to put some time into my flower beds in the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy the photo!  Happy Spring!

Vintage Gucci Silk Scarf on eBay

Here is a gorgeous silk scarf from Gucci for sale in my eBay store.  It's a vintage piece - the design is timeless. It has vivid colors in a classic floral pattern and features a red border.  The edge is hand rolled and stitched.  Made in Italy.  This makes a nice gift for Mother's day!

Random Signs of Happiness

Today while I was waiting at a stop light in my car I noticed someone had put up signs along a wire fence.  The first sign said "Random Signs" and then there was "Be Happy" and "I like cookies!" and "Smiley Face" and a few others.
It made me smile.  It made me wonder who would take the time to put up random signs to make people smile. I found a picture of a smiling cookie to share with you.  It's my random sign of happiness - enjoy!
