A cozy place ... Love.
Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.

A plan springs to life, me thinks. And soon!

A road less traveled & so many choices. This week will bring change from the West wind with encouragement from the moon. Am feeling very Mary Poppins. Except that Mary knew where she was going & me, not so much.
Oh, I feel a draft ... It begins!
A sea of change & many smooches,

Luck in multiples of 4
What is luck?
I've seen it in 4, all my life ... When I least expect it. Once upon a time, I looked for it everywhere. Then I gave in to it as just chance. I saw it Friday ... It was big & bold. For all to see. It stopped me in my tracks. What it means I have no idea. But none the less ... It makes me happy, my lucky 4. And that's enough.
Everyone deserves the simple pleasure of a lucky number, don'cha think!?!
And ... A luck kitty cat.

Domestic vintage colour - Yum!
+
Yep, I could get really domestic over this! My drapes would be lime green in a lush vintage kinda way ...
For my own look ... Am thinking I would go with a June Cleaver/Bewitched style with a Balenciaga ultra elegant fine-tuning ... Yes & a dash of vintage gorgeous YSL. That man knew colour!!

A new bloggy banner & guilty pleasure pic!
~
Dearest Bloggy-villers,
After a drowsy rain & a sumptuous breve tea latte, chased by a small handful of donut holes ... I felt it was time to welcome in Summer. What with all the Snow White-esque action going on outside my hut, it only seemed appropriate. Birds a twitter & bees, well you know! Bees being bees, etc.
Anywayz: Welcome Summer!
As a gift & an honor, I give you one of my most favorite Photoshopped images ... The Library Park. It only seemed right to also make it my new bloggy banner. Peeps, look up & have a seat on the bench. Kick off your treads. No worries, it's dry. Story time ...
Once upon a time, I was without a place to be 9-5 Monday through Friday. This allowed Moi to bask in the glory of every local park I could find. It was Spring. I hunted these gorgeous spots down with a vengeance. It was a solo activity ... Of which I really enjoyed & much needed. (Hmmm? All but that one private park. A quiet duet. Pure heaven!)
I was a renegade urban park ranger. Whilst the workers of my bubble were doing the toile & trouble ... Making widgets & other shee shee, I was sporting flip flops, white cotton Gap drawstring duds with a T, & an Oilily paisley backpack. What was in the backpack you ask? Camera, sketchpad/pencil, teeny-weeny throw, crackberry (off in park) & iPod, natch!
Yours truly "Park Picnic-ed" all over this city. Day & night - There is one bachelor in this city that will tell you I seduced him with cocktails, at a very trendy establishment one night on our 2nd date, only to commandeer his pristine vintage Mercedes sedan whilst he rode shotgun. I flew like a bat through the night ... Windows down, radio silent & managed visits to 3 gorgeous parks! (He later learned that my cocktails were just straight fizzy San Pellegrinos, not she-must-be-sloshed-like-me-drinky-poos.) To hear a guy happily groan while sliding his bare feet into blades of thick green grass is like ... Ya know, bee type stuff. I believe he may have even taken a small nap at one park, on the picnic table ... Did I take pictures of his toes!?!
All that said, you must know by now that it is all about the parks for me! This new banner happens to be from a photo I took of a local lake park. Van Gogh-ish don't cha think? All that yummy green ...
If you have made it this far & have read my entire post, I have a special treat for you! Please join me in the decadent pleasures of a sugar rush, as I am reveling in & go get one of these. Dip you fingers into the frosting ... How can you not?
Many smooches & happy Summer to ya,
The Tart

Bringing back the past - My sketches!
~
Amazing the land of Tweet ... Twitter to you peeps that have not taken the funnest social networking leap!
In the midst of my crazy life, I received a Tweet from a fellow Twitterer asking about my avatar - My Twitter avatar is one of my sketches that I posted for Illustration Friday: Glamour Girls, back in 2006. She is interested in having one designed for her. Wow!
What good timing ... Just what I need, a fun diversion from life. Drawing is something I have done all my life & is great therapy.
So what do I do first before I start drawing ... Brew some hazelnut coffee, visit my Flickr sites & browse through my bloggy, natch! I found this drawing. I was inspired by all the volunteers that helped out after hurricane Katrina.
If you have some time on your hands & feel like browsing, here are links to both my Flickr sites. If you're interested in the drawings, look at the sets to the right for groups of the drawings: Cheaptarts & Paisley Belle.
Coffee makes you want to redesign your blog too!
Happy Saturday!
