lovely welcome


do you ever look around your space and think--i need to change it? right now? immediately. that's how it usually happens for me. i love it until the minute i don't.

a few weeks back, i suddenly decided the entry felt too heavy. i wanted something lighter, happier and much more open and welcoming.

so i did little editing. a little adding--a little less and a little more.

tweaking, without spending a dime.

freshening up while paring down.

it's all new to me, just by adjusting.

the table was a bargain years ago and used to be behind the sofa in the living room. the old ceiling tins were souvenirs from a trip(back when big red and i were first married) and the basket came from my mom and dad's house. the planter is a real mccoy. and the candles are tuberose-scented (just ever so slightly). the lamp looks like an old japanese fishing float (which is one of my current and ever-evolving obsessions). i recently covered the shade with burlap. I still might move the mirror to the dining room.

but, for now.

for today--this is my new *lovely*.

right about now


is it time?

i used to feel--i'm late, i'm late for a very important date.

but, i now realize that every moment--you and i are both just where we are suppose to be.

every moment is a prerequisite for the next.

i've been hemming and hawing about this new blog for far far too long. still a work in process....i have to work on the banner a bit for sure.

in the meantime, i wanted to get up and going.

it's difficult to get anywhere while standing still.
so one step at a time.
one foot in front of another.

if you've been following my blog, www.indigojonesstudio.blogspot.com you will still see some of what i'm working on here, pictures of pretty good things along with the stuff that goes on in my head and heart.

i said two years ago that i was going all out.

i didn't go all out.

i stuck my head out and then sort of closed the door with little peeks through shuttered windows.

well, i'm throwing the sashes wide open and hoping you'll join me, while i wear my heart on my sleeve and chat away about my own perspectives and thanksgivings, pie and sandwiches, paint colors and and the meaning of it all. and a little bit of everything else.

happy you stopped by....one lump or two?
