I love things that sparkle, especially rhinestones - in fact, my nickname is The Rhinestone Queen, which I received 20 years ago in recognition of the various rhinestone earrings I wore to my relatively conservative job as writer/designer/editor for academic publications.
I love juicy colors - vibrant pinks and turquoises and sun-splashed yellows as well as wisteria lavender and lime green and so on and so on. When I see bright, luscious colors in unusual combinations, I feel a physical jolt of excitement.
And I love nifty vintage items - photographs, embroideries, handmade old dolls, pitchers, books - alas, you name it, I probably collect it.
So although I will write about a lot of things in this blog, I also want to take photos of things that make me salivate with pleasure and share them.
This is just a quickie first post to get the feel of blogging - I am coming quite late to the game! and feel a little out of my league. But I figure one step at a time, so here we go!
