Thursday Things I Love: Mermaid Art


A special project that I have in my w.i.p. bag for 2014 is a collection of mermaid zodiac drawings!!
First up will be Miss Aries, and she'll completed by the time the sun moves into her sign near the end of March!!


I'm really looking forward to bringing this collection to life!! 
Two of my long-time loves: mermaids and astrology- are as a lovely and natural a pairing as the sand 'n the sea.

Love,

Taste Bud Tuesday: Mint Tea



As one who has spent most of their tea-drinking life sampling the plethora of (wonderful) prepackaged teas available, 
making mint tea feels delightfully self sufficient.

All you need is hot water, a bit of honey and lemon if you like, and a bunch of mint -which is almost as easy to grow as it is to pick up at Wholefoods!!

I fill my tea pot with a generous amount of mint leaves, pour in some hot water, and add tsp of honey...
and off I go...
to a delicious, minty wonderland!!




Hot, heartwarming, and healthy...it's the perfect afternoon delight!!
Love,

Friday Flower Pick: Flowering Almond Tree



My Friday Flower Pick  is a lovely flowering almond tree...
found on a not-so-quiet Santa Monica street...
on a stroll, just before twilight.
...A little glimpse of tranquility amongst all the city bustle!!
 
 They're in bloom everywhere around here now!!

Happy Friday!!
