Chasing Away The Gloom

Maybe these cheery and bright colors will chase away the overcast and rain that has once again returned to Northern California.  Mid-May and it is still raining. <big sigh>

The vintage tablecloth sports circus tent stripes and some beautiful Magnolias.  More details at the end of today's post.

Flirting With The Tropics

Flirting with the idea of going Up, Up and Away to the tropics!

Enough with the wet, cold, foggy, rainy ....... U is for Up, Up and Away ...

This vintage tablecloth holds the colors of the tropics and perhaps the

addition of some tropical fruits and some jerked chicken will have to

satisfy me for today. More details on the elements at the end of this post.
