punch of plum

At the moment I am completely swooning over the elegant and dramatic punch of plum purple. Although these rooms all embrace different design styles the impact the color adds is still the same...

plum perfect

Deep plum is a daring color that is well suited to be used as an accent. The color exudes a sense of luxury and royalty –making it an excellent choice if you wish to create a sophisticated and dramatic look. If you are unsure about what pieces to purchase in order to inject this regal color into your home, may I suggest these options as a good jumping off point …

Rummage Sale Plates

Another of my favorite finds at the annual community center rummage sale was a set of six pretty vintage plates...
...creamy white with lavender and white flowers...just a touch of yellow and a brown leaf...
There is a gold rim around the edge....
An unusual and interesting color combination...
They are lovingly worn but no chips or cracks.
So pretty.

It was a hot but clear day....
Enjoying the breeze off the lake this evening.

Dan headed back to school to continue studying for the BAR....
...it is still so hard to see him drive off.

Tomorrow I will be cleaning up after the gang is all gone...
Maybe there will be some time for art before the next family members arrive on Wednesday!

Stay cool!
:)
