:: it's a wrap

Years ago on a trip to Italy I became a collector of wraps...wool, silk, cotton...it doesn't really matter, I just love a beautiful wrap. I was recently given two beautiful new wraps from Novica an online store featuring Artisans from around the world.

I chose these two wraps knowing that they would be the perfect pieces for an upcoming trip to Mexico. I've already worn these lovelies out and always receive complements on their beauty.

I love them.

I love that Novica is associated with National Geographic. My family loves to watch the National Geographic channel, I think it's so fitting that I be able to to receive and share these beautiful gifts with you. They have so many beautiful items to choose from in their corporate gifts section.

Like this lovely handmade cotton hammock...we all know how fond of hammocks I am.

Or these little lovelies... I love the jewel tones of these earrings.

How about a gorgeous Silk Batik Shawl it's just like mine but in another color way.

There are so many beautiful choices to choose from, lots of great ideas for Mother's Day....I know I'll be marking a few of my favorites for Papa.

:: little frog

Well hello there. I have some lovely flowers for you today.  This is one of my new favorites, I've seen them in magazines and admired their insane beauty, but i've never run across them in any trips to the market...until now.

Ranunculus  

late latin meaning "little frog"

I love your papery petals, and your soft white color.  Your beauty is divine.

So, as you can see by all the beauty above that gardening and planting have been filling up my days since the beginning of spring. I hope to be back soon to share some more lovelies.  Hope you are having a wonderful spring and Lenten season.
