Eye Candy for the Soul (and a drawing!)

Nothing gets my heart racing fast than a chest, box, or tray of jewelry. Even better....when I have to rummage through to find what I want! It reminds me of a friend's mother's aunt (I had to think about that one!) who would let me looks through her jewelry box and admire all the "jewels!" You can imagine my delight when we received a shipment of "Eye Candy for the Soul" at Sonata!



Bangles and Bauble galore!



Reversible charms



Good Girl...



...Bad Girl!



Calgon...take me away!

Artwork plus accessories equals artful living!

I never get tired of this pattern. I loved it with a shot of spring green!



This long necklace has a fantastic assymetrical chain. Looks great with a scarf or layered with other jewelry.

Shades of Blue


For years, my favorite color has been red. Cherry red, fire engine red, husker red, and on and on. While I still LOVE a shot of red in a room, I have found that all shades of blue now capture my heart. Whether painted on a wall or brightening a beautiful Nebraska sky, blue is my new love! (Big bonus when I can pop some red into
a blue room!)

This room featured in a 2008 issue of Domino is the inspiration for a guest room at home. (in progress!)



I'm trying to capture this sky for the walls of my bedroom!



Botanical with a blue twist


Turquoise! We have used these beautiful vases at Sonata to arrange flowers or display jewelery. However, it is gorgeous enough to stand on its own!


A navy kitchen! Bold, beautiful, and blue! Also love the mirror on the wall!



One of my favorite accessories! Ceramic garden stools are perfect for use as a table or seating. This blue beauty serves as an occasional table in my office. As soon as spring hits, it will go outside by our porch swing. These have been very popular at Sonata. Only one left!



My office at home: Blue walls, black damask, and tiny shots of red. Working heaven!


Sometimes a blue accent is all you need. Love this blue cabinet in the bathroom! Perfect with the pale walls and dramatic artwork!
