mismatched with touches of gold."

we must be mad with joy the whole time to have
such things about us."

Her signature style blooms with personality, yes?
Peace to you right where you are.
p.s. Oscar Wilde said “A flower blossoms for its own joy” but I'm not sure
I'm buyin that...the way they tolerate those butterflies and bees and us,
they don't strike me as that selfish at all.

yesssss, so heavy on the happy, laurie.
DeleteMichele. I loved everything about this post. I always relish the chance to peek into the world of a talented stylist, to me it is a dream job. And I especially like finding one with similar taste. I want both these books. These days books are my best friends, allowing me a much needed escape from the stressful business of house hunting. I need me some big time escape :) and I so appreciate the beauty and sisterhood I find here. Happy weekend--we're off to San Diego to watch Michael row!

Michele, what a beautiful post, and a magazine I am sure reads like a book of inspiring beauty. I must look into it.
