Vivi Cupcake Cookie Monster!

Do you believe the greedy expression? That there, is my evil twin, Vivi Cookie Monster. She won't take her paws off that cupcake cookie (which she received from Rusty Bear).
She will not share a morsel, not even with me!

{In a blink of an eye, Vivi Cookie Monster gobbles her cookie as the word "okay!" is barely uttered. The cookie crumbles and vanishes. Gone.}

Happy Furry Friday everyone!!!

Happy Texture Tuesday ~ The Pretty Pink eDition

It's Texture Tuesday and Kim Klassen's theme today is Pretty In Pink. While borrowed from the archives, this new version of the photograph has an addition of two beautifully handmade textures by Kim Klassen, "Yesteryear" and "Aurora." She pours her love and care into making her free-to-use textures, so thank you very much Kim!

So, I think this new version of the photo compares much softer to the earlier one:

The sky in San Francisco is very dismal again today. Not so sure the sun will shine from the looks of the clouds. So, I wish the sun shines on everyone else, today.

Enjoy a lovely day.

Happy Furry Friday! The pink peonies we received as a gift from the gentleman stranger in the grocery store are remarkably ripe now with fragrance and beauty. Spring is finally in the air, and with bright vibrance here in California this weekend. Love it! I wish you all a glorious spring weekend, hopefully not too hot, not too cold, but just right. Have fun and enjoy the spring air, and spring light sweet friends.

XOXO,

The Story of Camellia

The Flowers Personified from 1849:

"The flower may exist without fragrance, but woman cannot live without love," comes from the chapter "Camellia's Regrets," a short story that tells why the beautiful Camellia has no scent at all.

Dreaming with the loveliest flower that has never had the splendors of a flower's fragrance.

And why does the Camellia have no scent?

Here is a story that tells why... The chapter is called, "Camellia's Regrets," from the 1849 book, The Flowers Personified.

I found a charming vintage boutique in Rockridge called Bella Vita. It's a delight. The friendly shop owner let me pose in her beautiful store. I was attracted to this pink tutu of course!

+4 in comments (created especially for Bella Vita!)

If you're ever around Rockridge, Oakland in the East Bay, and you like pretty house furnishings and clothing for children, this is one especially adorable shop to visit!

Well, I didn't work my 2nd job selling stuffed hotdogs at the drive-in today. Instead, I modeled, and I made this thank you card for Romeo's mommy. She gives such adorable girly gifts... see the dainty pink Coach purse looped around my wrist? I wonder if mom would let me borrow it as a pretty treat bag... hmm...

Happy Furry Friday to you!!!

Oh, these sweet delicate Canterbury Bellflowers looked just so pretty yesterday afternoon in their vase by my bedside (of which I so generously share with mum). I just had to show them to you while they're alive and thriving... inspiring and smile-making! I thought you might also enjoy the bedside photo too. Have a beautiful summer day!

Canterbury Bells {Campanulas Medium}

Some background on Canterbury Bells: Referred to as the bellflower for its bell-like shape, this flower is known by many names, one being “Venus’ Looking Glass.” This name came about because of the campanula’s place in mythological story telling. Venus owned a magical mirror which reflected only beautiful images. When she lost this mirror, she sent Cupid to find it. Cupid dropped the looking glass and it shattered into a million pieces. True to its practice of making everything around it beautiful, the glass fell to the ground and sprouted stunning blue, bell-shaped flowers. These flowers have other folkloric tales attached to them. For instance, it was said that fairies planted campanulas to trap those who passed them – especially small children. The campanula flower is frequently given as a sort of “thank you” gift, as these blossoms are often thought to represent gratitude. They are also given as symbols of affection, as they are sometimes said to symbolize constancy and everlasting love, as well as humility and delicacy.
