SHOE REPAIR - It Is Emotionally Ugly Stuff

Maybe it’s the last pair of shoes you have with BOTH heals attached{wouldn't That be great}

or Maybe it’s you don’t have the time or money to repair them.

This seems small and insignificant ….I am sure to some.

But it is not.

My elegant grandmother would never have worn any shoe like that out of the house .

She by no means had money.

But she was elegant….the likes of which I have yet to see in my lifetime.

*Including NYC.

One lost black tap on the back heel of a high heel….

There would be the metal clicking on the floor with every step you take.

It has happened to me with 3 pair of shoes recently.

I am at my wits end.

I refuse to wear them.

THAT SOUND!!!!!

When will I ever get them fixed?

Where is the time.

Or will my walk be a walk of subtle shame?

Could I bare it??? I don’t think so –

EVER BEEN THERE?

Dogs That Love The Wind In Their Face - It Feels Like FREEDOM

I had a rough morning…..

I will spare you the details.

But

On my drive to the studio I saw a dog in the back seat of a car

With his head sticking out of the window,

and the wind blowing against his face.

I started my entire day over right then.

What a big smile I had.

And inside I felt all happy for him {or her} and ME.

I was grateful to witness such joy and grab some of it for myself.

It made my day!!!!

I hope it made yours too.

La Grenouille - NYC

This is a place where 'BIG DEALS' are made. Romance is confirmed. And our senses are teased.
If you haven't made it yet to La Grenouille - You Must!!
It would make a good 'Bucket List' entry!!

Charles Masson in the private room upstairs.

His parents founded the restaurant in 1962.

Do you think they are doing something right???

Have you been?

Do you have a story to share with me.

I would LOVE to hear it!!!

Antlers, Antlers and Resin Antlers

These are resin antlers.

And they look pretty great.

And she looks pretty great!

I must admit in my family - my mom, ex husband, and me ....

we really like them.

My mother has too many to discuss without getting hate mail.

And some of hers are painted whited.

Very cool.

And then there is me.

I  like the look of them but I also like the function.

Towels, hats, robes, and whatever else you can think of can be hung from an antler.

One of these days I will buy my mom the resin antler chandelier.

She has always wanted one.

See...

you can even add it to a pretty cool room and IT WORKS!!

Totally Divine.

What is your take on the whole antler thing?
