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!)

       #1
                 



Answer:

Answer:
streetlight post
    #3




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?

Cheers!  Linda

    1. Anne-Marie, Thank you so much! It was simply taking photos of things my brain focus's on all the time.

      Learning how to go about my day AND take photos without stumbling or stopping short causing injuries to others are skills I must perfect. :-)

      Cheers!

    1. Kim! You're the first to say you knew one of the answers - congrats! (BIG smile, pat on the back)

      No apologies for having a balanced life away from blogging - a goal I should have too. Now, about the Pimms Cup - I am waiting patiently for the weather to heat up!

      Cheers!
