What's This?

Look closely, for color and texture inspiration.  Everywhere.

Here's our game:
First a detail - then before you scroll down, wager your idea as to what it is (I trust you) - let me know how many you guessed correctly.  (Or, just pat yourself on the back and sit there proudly with that winning smile!)

Answer:

A beautiful, but very tiny rock in this landscape.
Look for it on the dirt, in the shadow on the left.

Time for a lesson:  When the scale is wrong ill proportioned, or "off" - move your love interest (in this case, the rock) to a site which will show it off as your favorite.

Include it in a grouping of items with like colors.  (this rock could be on the front porch at the base of a tall terra cotta pot planted with white flowers) 


Use rocks like this inside too - bookend, hearth/mantel detail, in the corner of a large shower floor, etc.  A piece of nature becomes sculpture!

Answer:

Cork clutch at Nordstrom

Trouve Reversible Envelope Clutch

I don't know if this is still available - it was smashing!  Cork imbedded with color and metalic bits.  It was in Nordstrom at Mission Viejo Mall (California). 

How did you score?
