Oh My Goodness!

I'm browsing videos on Stylelikeu.com and come across Julius Debruhl Lewis | designer, vintage collector. Look what he collects! How gorgeous is that?!


Judging by these photos-the miniatures aren't the only thing I'd enjoy perusing through! What style,taste and imagination!

Mr. Lewis is quoted as saying:

I must be surrounded by beauty at all times. It's my food, my energy." Julius Debruhl Lewis

I am going to take a guess and say he's a Libra. LOL.

Wait I watched the video in it's entirety and I think I'm going to cry...miniatures at the 1:03 mark.

Conversations


I just happened to stumble upon the conversation of Madame X and her guests discussing life in Paris. So jealous. I want to go to Paris!

Build Your Garden


Just a preview of my latest project-posted to keep me on track. There is something about Gardens and the act of gardening that is so wonderful-the beautiful array of flowers, the colors, the scent, the trees...captured in miniature still life where there is no chance of a single flower fading is all the more glorious. And I just had to include a photo of our pet hamster Hammi-he's the cutest miniature thing I know :)

Tornado of Terror

Oooh it's been a while! So my son Jake came home recently and informed me he has a class project to build a tornado, the first project since starting 5th grade-you know where homework and work assignments become more demanding. A part of me groaned to think of school projects but then I perked up at the words: miniature scene. You know me. This is what we came up with.


Even the raccoons are freaking out


We had fun making the trees. Jake insisted on some of his lego men being part of the scene. I really loved the idea. Everyday I anxiously asked him 'what grade did you get?' He'd say 'I don't know yet but the other kids really like it, they said it was the best.'

Today he brought it back home and announced he got an A. I was very excited until he informed me of a new project: A book report on Spain. Ugh!


p.s. thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your inspiring comments!
