living without color is like living without love.



“Living 
without color 
is like living 
without love” 

-Kelly Wearstler





obviously,
i'm not the only one obsessed with color.
but, i admit that i design for myself.

for me, it's the seduction of pinks and blues
they have my heart...
so much so, that i have decided 
that i have been 
blinded by love.

have you noticed?

so, here's the question 
that's been running through my head:

are there any colors 
you'd like to see more of 
at tenthings.?

emerald 
peridot
sapphire 
amethyst 
citrine 
siam red 
or ?

i'd love to hear your thoughts.

live in love. tenthings.

i live my life in gratitude and love. being grateful for the little things, 
paying attention to those things rather than focusing on what I don't have 
is what makes each day special and full of love.

everyday, i am truly grateful for...my amazing family, 
my super talented and supportive friends, excellent health, unconditional love, 
daily challenges, animals {my life is filled with so much love from my pets}, 
my creativity, future plans {I thrive on having things to look forward to}
...all the things that make me happy. 
each day, i try to remember to send 'thank you's' 
out into the universe for my many blessings. 

one of the things that really makes my day is the abundant beauty; 
on etsy, on the many inspiring blogs that i frequent and on facebook and twitter...
i am so fortunate to sit down at my computer at any given time 
and absorb the beauty that surrounds me...
here, ten beautiful things i stumbled upon this week.





feathers and flowers  gardensofwhimsy.
maxi dress daysofglamour.
vintage dress aiseirigh., ruffled dress hollystalder.

a few gorgeous items for the home.

the power of love ♥

two particular stories grabbed me
and held my heart captive this week.
each story totally different.
each story a heart full.
each story a true testament 
to the strength of love
and today, 
my small tribute 
to the stories 
that touched my ♥ this week.

* * *
a collection of things 
that caught my eye 
when my heart 
was reminded 
again and again how 
powerful
love 
really is.














heart felt thanks to 


and 


for the ever so special reminders 
of the power of LOVE.

i hope you'll take a minute to read these stories, 
to feel the power.
to give love. 
to receive love 
and to know love.

chasing beauty.


 there are days when i seriously feel as if i'm 
chasing beauty all day.
...not that that's a bad thing, 
but i have soo much work to do, 
at times i feel more  like a dog at the beach 
{first chasing a ball, then a bird that flies by 
and then another dog...} than a working artist.
so much gorgeousness to take in...
you know, one thing leads to another 
and before you know it, 
you've spent all day chasing beautiful things.
so, this morning, 
in the midst of writing emails, ordering supplies, 
checking my shop, twitter, facebook 
and making my daughter 
delicious raisin bread french toast 
{she's off school today},
i found this shop on etsy...





a pretty little shop 
filled with lovely little things.

what can i say, i love chasing beauty.
