Not quite Louis Vuitton

We went out shopping but didn't buy anything. 

They weren't quite Louis Vuitton but I loved the suitcases.

A group of giraffe together is called a tower of giraffe, I had to Google it.

Love the reflection created by the light on the dark wall.

At the end we stopped to have a wonderful lunch. A lovely morning.

Repurposed, an old tray

I took an old tray of my mother's painted and stencilled it, to match the table I did earlier this month.
Not quite the twin set, though.

Dance like no one is watching

Jill invited me to their ballet studio concert. They had chosen such beautiful music, most of it modern, even pop and the choreography was wonderful. This young girl did a solo, started well and then shook her head and ran off. After a few more performances she came back and danced her piece, beginning to end. You could see she had been crying but now she was dancing with passion, before her dance was technically precise. I applaud her courage, for coming back on stage. Wow!

I only took photographs of Jill's performance and the closing of the show.
I, however, did not take the picture of Jill backstage.

Happy birthday

My niece turned 7 and we ate the cake before the guests arrived. Wait until you taste the frosting, white chocolate ganache, you will also have a second slice (or a third).

The divine Miss M takes another nap

On a cold morning I wrap my dog in this wonderful birthday present, a hand-knitted shawl, and she is so happy and cozy. She has a deep sleep and some wonderful dreams I am sure.

My friend knitted the shawl, pure wool, and it has been used so often already, early mornings and late nights. It's not a dog blanket but I could not resist making the divine Miss M as comfortable as possible.

We simply need that wild country
