Southwestern Adobe Style




It only took a few days during my first visit to Taos to fall in love 
with the town and it's palette of adobe and turquoise.

I fell so in love with these warm yet vibrant tones that I am 
painting the living room and kitchen of our mountain home in these
beautiful shades.  The painting starts tomorrow and I am excited
 to update the look and feel of our home and appreciate the new
 atmosphere it evokes.

I love color...that's apparent in my jewelry design and in my home, 
whether it be an island beach house in tropical lime, aquamarine
 and cobalt blue or a western mountain cottage with rustic wood, tile
and lots of local art including paintings, photographs and ceramics.    

This time I am making the move from a happy yellow gold shade
 that I contrasted with a deep plum with lots of white trim including
 a white staircase, dark wood floors and furniture in leather
 and copper. Although this color scheme was enjoyed for quite a 
few years it was time for a change at least in wall color.  

I will post pic's next week after the transformation  
 inspired by our vacation and these photo's and look forward to 
hearing your comments and opinions.

Wishing you a Colorful Life,

Seaside Sunsets in the Florida Keys




Sunsets in the Florida Keys are a gorgeous ending to a beautiful day.
Each one is more unique than the day before and each one calls for a celebration.
I love sitting on the back dock toasting the sunset as it falls into the ocean giving the sky a burst of color in shades of peach, persimmon, mango and conch shell pink.  These photo's are some of my favorites taken over the last year or so in the lower Keys and
 Key West.  I hope you enjoy the beauty and delightful surprise that calls to me each evening whenever possible to experience this true gift.
Wishing you sunset delight,
~Nancy

It's Summertime! Celebrate with Flowers






Wishing everyone a happy, bright, sunshiny week from the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, Crested Butte.
 It's Summertime! Let's celebrate with Flowers.

This delightfully small ski town which is covered in a blanket of white for many months of the year is experiencing an explosion of color in shades of pink, purple, orange and yellow this summer.  Last week was the Wildflower Festival and the flowers were peaking on the mountainsides and trails, but everywhere you look there are gardens, flower boxes and hanging baskets bursting with gorgeous colorful flowers.

Everyone gets into the spirit of summertime here and plants to their hearts content or purchases the most beautiful flowers available to display in their yards and porches. Shops, galleries, offices and restaurants display hugh hanging baskets which must be watered each day in their entrances and the town provides planters and flower boxes which line the main street, Elk Avenue in vibrant summer blossoms.

Although the growing season is short here, usually about 90 days this flower frenzy is a feast for the eyes and fills your heart and soul with gratitude for such beauty. 

Enjoy the flowers and the inspired by nature ~ Botanical Style flower bracelets which can be found on my website or if sold, by special request. Keep checking back for more flower inspired jewelry this summer.
Remember to stay on touch on facebook and twitter too!
Happy Summer!
