Barefootin’

Barefootin’ in the garden, so Spring must have arrived. While I sketched my feet resting on a stool, Sally sketched me sketching my feet (below). Late afternoon sun was coming from the right and reflecting softly off a wall on the left. I’m learning to love pencil, helped by a move from smudgy 2B to crisp 2H, and the ability to rub out lines is a strange new experience after 2 years of indelible ink!

Back into the swamp

Haha! Essay gone, exams arrive! We’re having exciting flatmate work parties at the moment, migrating from room to room, leaving trails of papers in our wake, watching each other like hawks for signs of weakness.

Have a good day! May it be productive and inspiring or incredibly idle. Up to you.

Cute!

Hi, last week I revisited London, and I took this photo with toemailer in my mind. What you see is my little grandson’s cute, small feet. Small Latvian boy, British citizen, maybe he will be the next globetrotter. Inquisitive as he is, who knows the soil of what lands these feet will touch some day.

Sounds like he is a natural born traveler! And we hope you had a great day today, Grandma!

These are the tiny feet of our little Londoner Zoe who was born 12 days ago. I think we took this picture when she was only a few hours old (hence why it’s so blurry as I was so spaced out!).

We are smitten with her.

Awwwwww, she must be quite the little cutie!

This is another addition to my Beach Babe collection. A beautiful blonde, lying on the beach, cocktail at the ready. How I would love to be her right now! I can actually imagine the hot sun on my skin and hear the sound of the ocean. What cocktail would I chose?? Such a huge decision.
Tell me what cocktail would you chose?

Cute!

Vintage Fashion Shot 1971

A groovy chic takes a phone call back in 71. ‘Hi, just bought a new mini skirt. Are they still in fashion?’

She’s lucky, if it had been the 50′s, she would also have been simultaneously doing the laundry and the vacuuming – in heels! lol

Brighton, England

Greetings from overcast Paris!

i love the idea of your site, but i hadn’t really considered sending my own pictures in.  you see, my baby boy died four and a half months ago of meningitis, and his other mother and i have been laid low with grief ever since.

And then last month, i decided to face the world again, and i took a trip Brighton, England to visit old friends.  while i was there on the seafront, a place that holds many fond memories for me, i thought about your blog, and i took the attached picture.

The structure in the background is the Old Pier which burned down a long time ago (I’m too lazy to go google details right now) and which is now considered historic.  they aren’t trying to preserve it, but they are letting it slowly fall apart and taken by the tides.  those are my feet in the foreground….just a few minutes before i went to soak my feet in the cold water of the English Channel, a few minutes before a strong wave had me soaking my bum and legs as well.  i was laughing the whole time, and laughter is something i desperately need these days.

so thank you for the idea and for coming by to read my posts.

much warmth

We are so , so sorry for the loss of your boy. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences. What can be worse than losing a child? We wish you well during this horrible time of grief. And it is good to notice that you are looking for positives, that you still see beauty in the world, can even enjoy a moment of laughter, and that is something you are teaching the rest of us!
