I went to the most wonderful exhibit last night in Burien, WA: Hope in Hard Times, a pop-up museum that is well worth popping into. It’s only there through January 4, so if you are in the Seattle area, it’s well worth a visit. Many of us were strongly influenced by Depression-era culture. I know I was, through my mother. Here are some exquisite table linens that some anonymous artist made:

Linking up to Saturday Show Off and My Romantic Home.

Not too long ago I was in an interesting living room in Seattle. Besides lots of cushion seating, there was this pattern of fabric on the high ceiling. I loved it.

You might enjoy a visit to  Ruby Tuesday 2 and Mellow Yellow Monday, but browse around here first, why don’t you?

My favorite cousin just got back from her first trip to India, and she has shared her favorite photo with us, taken on the steps of the Ganges river. This is what she had to say about it: “The richness of multi-sensory experience was so palpable, I could only be in the present moment, always. This is in Hariwar, at Ma Ganga, washing, dunking, blessing, offering.”

I love this image and I hope you enjoy it also. I think it is remarkable and am calling it my Best Post of the Week.

It’s a good offering for Scenic Sunday, Outdoor Wednesday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Mellow Yellow Monday and Pink Saturday. Please follow this blog on the new widget to the right if you enjoy the photos. And thanks for visiting!
