Bonjour!

What a busy month May is. I hope all the prom goers had a safe and fun time at their proms. I am sure you all looked beautiful. I did get a sneak peek at some of you from pictures my daughter had taken from West Campus promenade. You all looked amazing! How I miss those days. Shopping with my girls for the perfect dress and hoping no one else wore it. Add the jewelry, purse, shoes, hair, nails, makeup..... Wait! Maybe I don't miss it that much :) I hope all you ladies had a wonderful Mother's Day and let your family pamper you. You deserved it. My girls took me to the races at Arlington Park. What a blast! I haven't done that in years. I was getting pretty good at picking the winners. To bad I'm to chicken to bet more than $2.00. As the month of May moves along, we will see many of our friends and relatives graduate from high school or college. I would like to take this time to wish all the graduates the best of luck and congratulations to the Class of 2009!

My "Beautiful Blues"
for Make Mine Pink "Pink Friday"

Please join us for shopping with a twist on Friday May 8, 2009 as we present "Beautiful Blues"

Beautiful blues… the classic colors of sea and sky. Once a year, beautiful blues against crisp, clean whites adorned the blue and white issue of Victoria Magazine. Do you remember how you anticipated your copy? Blue is calming and serene. It's a coastal color, often used in bedrooms and rooms of relaxation. From delicate pastel to a deep, emboldened navy, adding blues to your décor can evoke a tranquil yet often vibrant mood.

In the bathroom, perhaps a white towel edged with beautiful blue forget-me-nots and pale blue trim. On the kitchen table, a teapot or tea cup with a blue floral pattern, or a shabby blue tea cozy that warms a pot with beautiful blue, waiting for a friend.

White pillows dressed with lavender blue roses or embroidered bluebirds on a white bedding set. On a bedside table, a white vintage doily with blue accents and edging, a grandmother's white hanky stitched with a dainty blue ribbon. A blue and white needlepoint cushion set carefully upon the bed - an elegant white lily surrounded by a blue fringe. On a white fleur-de-lis shelf, a Battenberg lace fan with vintage millinery flowers, in a color pronounced "bleu". A vintage robin's egg blue bottle stopped with white fabric flowers, tied with a pale blue bow. A white bowl hand painted with blue morning glories. Hanging on the wall, a French ribbon glitter plaque of white doves and blue roses. By the front door, a nautical tote bag that reminds you of the sea. In the craft room, oceans of blue and white fabric, or a sprinkle of blue flowers. Near the telephone, a handcrafted notebook, embellished with blue sky. In a jewel case, a single blue bead on a string or a classic blue cameo.

Stitched bluebirds, hydrangeas and bows. Tiny blue lights, sweet as cotton candy. Handmade bouquets of blue roses, or a single blue pansy. Beautiful blues surround us, and remind us we are home.
