The inspiration: Delicate touches that prove that beauty is in the details.
How is your week going? I could use a double dose of prettiness this morning and these images are certainly providing me with some much needed inspiration. It has been a bit nuts around here, between getting my son ready for college in a few short weeks, (22 days till he leaves me... sigh). Also, my elderly dog being diagnosed with Cushings disease, (he's now been dubbed "Mr. Cushings" and I swear he is milking it so I'll make him meatballs). Wouldn't it figure that this is the time that my Kuerig machine decides to stop working? Seriously? Me minus coffee? Not pretty. I would shoot caffeine intravenously if I could.
Beauty really is in the details. Whether it's in the form of a delicately iced cake, stenciled clawfoot tub, beautifully wrapped package, or a Kuerig k-cup, (kidding), ... there is beauty to be found everywhere.

You just have to look. The most beautiful thing I saw this week? It was a photo taken by Lisa of, Latte Lisa, of a cute little elderly couple who she has become quite fond of. They spend their days at the park and still seem to be so in love. If we could all be so lucky. Theirs sounds like a beautiful romance.

Lovely photos, ooh poor pooch but he's well loved and has a great home!
ReplyDeleteHow very true! It takes something from pretty to legit. I hope your dog is okay.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeousness! Hope your pooch is doing ok.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing old couples out in the park holding hands, enjoying a picnic- it's what I hope my marriage will be like 30 years from now :)
love the lace tape!
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more, that beauty is in the little details. I love that tub. Sorry to hear your pup is sick, I am not familiar with cushings... though I have heard of it. I wish the best for you and your sweet pup.
ReplyDeleteI can always rely on you to pretty up my mornings, Debby! Sorry to hear about your dog, sweetie. I bet meatballs would definitely help a bit :).
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! xoxo
Wow! These are beautiful. I think my favorite thing is the packing tape that looks like lace. I need to find a reason to use that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog! I'll be checking in on yours regularly!
Debby, I had a pair of shoes exactly like those beige ones, for dance! "Character shoes" they were called. I hope your dog will be okay...Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletei love all that lovely jewelry in the first photo!! SO pretty! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteYes, beauty, like love,is all in the details. I was going to comment on that building facade and how hard it is to send your child off to college but all I can think about is your dog. Very sorry to hear this Deb. Hope it is a treatable low pain thing.
ReplyDeleteI always stop to admire the details especially as one who paints. Loving all these exquiste detailed objects of art. Have a nice weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteim not so sure if a keurig isn't beautiful. it always bring joy to my life. :)
ReplyDeletei love the detail around that window. so stunning!! would be perfect for my (imaginary) pied-a-terre in paris. :)
You really are having one of those weeks!! Wish I could run my Keurig over to you!!! I don't do well without my coffee either! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm in transition this weekend, as the little one finished camp today and big boy comes home next week, followed by my brother's family's visit. Lots to do, but I'm not feeling rushed. That's probably b/c it's Friday, my favorite day of the week.
Sending you hugs - wish I could send coffee!
xoxo Elizabeth
these details are indeed darling. I love the pops of coral throughout!

Debby this is kind of off topic, but I love what Logan said to you about the slushie maker and that you bought it for her. That comment made me tear up.
ReplyDeletexo,

Details and cake, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you Debby to mention my blog today, what a wonderful surprise to come here and read that.
Maybe I'll have to post a photo of the adorable couple, they seem to make everyone happy.
Sorry about the coffee machine and the dog. Life without coffee is ... OK, I have no words for that!
PS. Check your inbox soon, I'm sending you something ;-)
Wow, Debby! Tons of inspiration here today, and once again I leave hungry, haha!
