Diva Pippa, sitting pretty for the photographer (her Mom).. all she is missing is a poodle skirt. Loved the picture and once again, asked permission to share,

For some reason I thought of the actress Sandra Dee, she also has a bit of Audrey Hepburn ?? maybe someone out there remembers the beach movie..from way back when… Did you smile?
Keep the smile, spread the happiness around.. Pippa’s is an award-winning smile giver. =^_^=

ps. my two, look at me with eyes that say, don’t you even dare think of it. LOL Pippa is a born model. Of course we have to acknowledge her costume and set designer too. winks and waves…
jingle happy
OK this is a happy sound, but for me, I found recently a pair of these at a thrift shop so I was very happy.. The jingle of change to acquire them, pleased me big time…
Oh happy days, get to wear bell bottoms again. Great in winter when you want your boots to find under them.. and really, fashion or not.. they are comfy, slimming and just plain, me. tra la la, la la la laaaaaa….
Happy Monday everyone…. be happy & merry… have a brilliant day!
The clerk at Nordstrom, held up this evening bag for me, it was on sale for hundreds of dollars, I bought the backpack (purse) in her right hand. I’m silly, but not “there” yet… for a “lark” maybe, but not at that price. =^_^=
tra la la la la la la laaaaaa
true, sometimes I am just plain silly…. join me?
Stash
Happiness is finding that the coloured hook and loop tape is on sale, buy 1 and get 2 free. I had not seen coloured hook and loop before, so I was for sure, having a few. Especially they were in the fall colours I was on the hunt for.
Took me awhile but I finally found the fat quarters, and when I did, I forgave the shop for hiding way in the back. They were all half price. I managed to find enough quarters in the colours I was wanting.
I’m even going to follow the “rules” and launder the pieces first before I start to cut them up and heat bond them. I am showing you the raw pieces, before I play with them. Hopefully I will eventually show you the end product. I have no idea what I will do with the tape, but the possibilities are endless.
I’ve also begun to work on the art/junk journals again .. fall is in the air, I always get a nudge from Mother Nature at this time of year, the vibrant colours she splashes all around us is enticing. Even the rows of golden rod and mellow yellows that dot the fields along the highways call out to me.
The unbelievable thrill of seeing the 1000 shades of orange/reds that wave from the hardwood trees that line the road, exhilarates.
My stash is slowly taking on the colour theme that I will work with. Yes I am excited at the pending creativity that is awake and churning to get going… anyone else out there feeling that zing that is floating around in the ethers of the bright fall days. Not to mention the crisp night breezes that lull us to sleep.
It has been a super great Thursday … hello Friday, I’m ready for you.
May the happiness of the season, float effortlessly your way. Appreciate and enjoy this season of harvest.

black beauty
My find of the day yesterday!
One just never knows when such a discovery will pop up. Parked innocently minding it’s own business. I couldn’t resist… no matter what passers by thought.. I was the paparazzi focused on my prize. Some days it doesn’t take much to spark the flame. =^_^= 
Happy Monday everyone!

Colour riot Saturday
If you haven’t guessed already, I love October, and the energy that seems to gather and explode in the shops around this time of year. I can’t at this moment in time, over haul our living quarters into a stage set, but I can dream about it. So, some of my time today was wandering the shops and taking pictures of items I’d want to collect and bring home, if this was the right time for me to do so.
How fun to have this at the back door to greet unsuspecting visitors.
Could it be the colours, the designs, or just the witching fun.
Back when I was really keen on redoing the “home” with such colourful and creative items, we had to make them ourselves. Now, they are all over in the shops and so available. I love the black, the way it sets off the bright yellows and glowing oranges.
I have been feeling more creative these days, the top picture is my bedtime activity, some people write in journals, I like to paint. I have art journals, and junk journals, they are everywhere, so when I feel an urge, I can just pick one up and add to it. Even the act of preparing a page so that it will take paint, or other medium is joyful.
Ripping up a magazine for the splotches of colour that have caught my eye is very relaxing…. then to see it reborn in a totally “MY ” way is absolutely satisfying. Same applies to fabric, wool, threads, cord, ribbon, tapes, the possibilities are endless.
The best part of visual expression, is that it is very personal, subjective, and really only needs to be enjoyed by me, myself and I. If someone else likes it, that is bonus.
Life is what we make it. There is an artist in all of us. We all choose to express ourselves differently. What is important is that we do so.
When a challenge looms before us. How we deal with it, shows are creativity. We are offered so many possibilities during the day, I am always amazed that not every one gets the feeling of satisfaction at having a full day.
If you are in Canada, you are well on your way to enjoying a long week-end. I am looking forward to mine. It is a daunting task, but I am going to try to rearrange my studio/work area.

PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive
Happy, wonderful and productive Saturday !! Let the colours shine.
for the love of shoes!
Shoes from China, to fit a Tonner 16″ doll. Finally a shoe collection I don’t have to wear. simply enjoy. It takes almost a month for them to get here from China, but well worth the wait.
Patience is one of the virtues, that I am continually working on. =^_^=
Happiness is!!!!
I know I am not alone in my “enjoyment” of shoes. These are manageable, and I don’t have to wear them….

bloomer painting
Pepsi needed a skirt, shorts, or jeans, I couldn’t find anything suitable, so we painted a pair of bloomers for her. I think that she looks pretty “neat”. Next I will dig up a pair of shoes for her feet.

Chop Suey Monday
A little of this and a little of that.
First this is a link to more information on the horticultural show MosaiCanada 150 /Gatineau 2017
biggest horticultural event in Canada
Happiness is>
Knowing I never have to consider spending money on something so restrictive.
Shoes, and more shoes, I was able to walk away, comfortable as they are, I said “No thank you” and walked away.
Finding these crisp white little flowers on my walk today. They popped up at me, happy as can be… I smiled.. stopped and captured the moment.
Yes, it was a good day. My Morning walk, was refreshing, the hot sun and high humidity didn’t hit till after the noon hour,
How about you? Have a good day?
Happiness is –
sharing with you.
