Morning Walk: Fall Beauty

These days, I cannot get over how beautiful this part of the world is.

Usually, we do not get many fall colors for such a long time.

I want to dive in and bathe myself in these beautiful colors.

fall socks

And because I decidedly have the most glorious sock and tight collection – here are some of my fall choices:  Croenert cotton tights, Smartwool knee highs, and Falke textured hosiery.

fall shawls

Rapti shawls from Nepal.  Just in.  Fair trade, women made. Cashmere/silk blends.  Scrumptious!

Morning Walk: Two Angels

Everything happened in TWOs today.

My dog ate two slices of lemon pound cake that I had saved for this afternoon. (Bad dog!)

Found these two angels on my walk.

(there are lots more of TWOs on that bus, I just realized….)

Had two dear ones bring me first lunch and then a coffee cake!

Had two guys with dogs stop in, both saying their dogs want to see me. (grin)  They are cute – the dogs, I mean.

Which all gives me a chance to show off these cool SmartWool socks that – incidentally – also came in TWO’s:

L1070068

This is just to get you interested.  There are lots more!  Pictures to follow!

And now I’m off to Happy Hour, again with two ladies. Hm.

Morning Walk: empty vs. full

I chuckled when I found this stand on my walk:

Image011

And granted, it is a FARM stand – I was captured by the architecture of this construction.  Aside from that empty mason jar and the bamboo on the ground, there was no indication what they might sell.

Not so at my store:

L1070040

Plenty of t-shirts, long and short sleeved.

L1070039

Skirts galore…

L1070038

The coolest military-style coat!  They are so in!

L1070037

And socks.  I have to press my socks into your conscience.  Women, children, men.

Come on over and help me have an empty store, just like the farm stand above….

(Morning) Evening Walk: Pain

Walked the dog.

My mind in a different country, I suppose.

Dog jerks on leash (mouse?)

I tumble.

Ouch – not a pretty picture, I know.

So, for a while no short skirts or dresses.

or the ever-beautiful Hazeldrops sari skirt,

I own 4 of them.

I shall survive.

Morning Walk: Perfect Circle

circle flower

I’ve always been impressed with this perfect little gem.

Not only is is perfectly round and almost flat, but I love what colors nature chose for it.

I do not know its name or how and where it likes to grow.

It reminded me of this:

Hazel flower skirt

This is a retro-inspired skirt by Hazel.

Lovely colors, almost flat when twirled in.

And just to tease you little more:  detail of the print.

Morning Walk: Lost Love

Found love:

Kersh blood red dress

Kersh – intense red dress

Fell in love with it as soon as it came in.  Wore it the next day; sold two right away.

Now, that is love at first sight!
