It's Coffee Time!

That's the name of this 15-1/2" x 12" art quilt.
(Canvas, acrylic paints, various markers, stencils, glitter,
batting, commercial fabric)

I always love sewing on canvas and this was no different.  The painting was a good time too!

My Eyes! My Eyes!

Yes, my eyes are a couple of happy viewers thanks to an RV trip to South Texas this past weekend.  First, we (hubby, my sister and I) anchored in an RV park in New Braunfels where we met up with two friends.  Then, we spent time exploring the San Antonio Riverwalk and Gruene (pronounced Green).  My eyes discovered some splendid inspiration along the way and I thought I'd share it. 

I have posted this first one in the past but saw it again this trip.  It's so wonderfully colorful and cool that I thought it was worthy of a repost.  
It's happily perched in the window 
of Garcia Art Glassa shop in the 
Hyatt Regency Riverwalk in San Antonio.

A party on a wall inside Garcia Art Glass.


This interesting arrangement is inside 
Gruene Dance Hallthe oldest dance hall in Texas.  
Hmm, I never knew you could grow wine bottles!
Needs more stuff though, don't you think?


Heavenly Headbands!
Unfortunately, I don't remember 
the name of this shop.

I love the way this quaint 
shop displays it's name with flags!

I'm always a sucker for mannequins, 
dress forms, dummies, whatever.
This pink friend is decked out.
I believe this was in the Yellowbox shop.

This one is displayed in Gruene Trading Company.
Oh so delightful indeed! 
These all inspire me in one way or another.
What inspires you?

Tootles Friends,

Color, Color, Delicious Color

On a recent trip to Destin, Florida, these colorful windows at Pompano Joe's Restaurant captured my heart.

Pitter patter, pitter patter.
Big love here!
  
Yummy matching umbrellas just outside.

Delightful color coordinated windows too.
Oh my!

 I can't help but smile!
How about you?

Tootles,
