Welcome to Paisley Petunia…part two!

I find inspiration in pretty pictures, endless possibilities in a bowl of Meyer lemons, the meaning of lifetime devotion in the wagging tails of our 3 rescue dogs, end-of- the-day bliss in a glass of red wine and now, the boundless, soul clutching meaning of life in the faces of my 2 little angels.

It's a happy, creative, joy-full life we've got here in the LA sun. Come play! Bring wine.

Heading to the desert…

Off to Palm Springs – the famed playground of Frank Sinatra, Sonny Bono and retired snow birds – this weekend for a girls birthday soiree. Some things I *wish* I was packing:

A vintage swimsuit that I saw on WhatIWore for lounging by the pool, rather IN the pool its going to be 101*…

    Nice pad. Check out Korakia around the corner for next time. Try Cheeky’s for breakfast on Palm Canyon and take a early morning or dusk hike up behind the Palm Springs Museum. Enjoy!

    Yes I think my bracelet would look great on your wrist ;) as for the perfect two piece? If you are well versed in the golden days of hollywood you would know who esther williams is. If not just wiki. But she has had her own swimsuit company for years and she makes custom 50′s swimsuits just like she wore in her movies. I believe its on her official site. Can’t get any more authentic than that!
