A QUICK PEAK AT MY STUDIO.......


I know, some of you may be thinking what is SHE thinking with that riot of color going on!!

What can I say, I like a LOT OF COLOR!

This is my sweet little studio, library, TV room where I go when I want to go to my own private fairyland.



I belong to a book club; so you will often find me in here reading a book or two.  I also love decorating mags and books so I have stacks of those!

You might wonder where in the world does she do any art or crafting?



Right here dear friends!  Now I don't do nearly as much as many of you fabulously creative ladies out there, but I do my share when the spirit moves me.

Behind the curtain is my little cubbyhole for creativity.



It isn't much......but it is ALL MINE!  My dog Sophie and I spend quite a few evenings on the sofa, reading or watching TV in my special fairyland!!



Now if you want to see a really fab studio...hop on over to 52l Lakestreet and see what Sandy has done!

Blessings dear friends,

Jo

  11. Oooh Jo, I love your little fairyland! All of the homes with all white really are stunning, but they just aren't me either... I need color in my world, and your little getaway fairyland is sooo enchanting... I would spend hours in there, with a big cup of coffee and my daydreams... xoxo Julie Marie

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
