the space

I got caught up on my blog reading this weekend and it has catapulted me into a major decorating mood.  But can you blame me?

SO Dreamy. . .

Two words: House Doctor.  There just aren't any others that do it justice.
These are my dream colors right now. . . 

I may or may not be doing some little updates around these parts, so I'll post those soon.

twenty ten

Last night we ushered in a new decade under a blue moon.  I got to be with all the people I wanted to celebrate with, random and hilarious things occurred, and memories were made. 

I'm finally sitting down to think about my intentions for 2010 and it feels like a big year.  There seems to be an abundance of excitement in the air.  Here's what it looks like when I close my eyes. . .

At long last, 2009 is almost over!  Don't get me wrong, its been a fine year.  But its also felt like the proverbial dark tunnel and I can finally see the light at the end.  Before I celebrate tonight, I thought it would only be right to pay my respects to a interesting, challenging, downright ridiculous at times, and incredibly fun year.  Here's to the best of the best. . .

There is a lot more, but if I keep going this post will never end.  I'll leave you with this clip, because 1) its beautiful, 2) I love Angels in America, 3) I love Mary Louise Parker, and 4) because it brings hope and inspiration to this unknown future we're heading into.

all there is to say. . .

This will be a random post. 

1) A song.  . .that was my theme song in high school.  This live version is the only way to go.

2) I finally put some vintage items up on Etsy.  Check them out here: etsy.com/shop/bravetulipstudios.  Plus, more jewelry in the next week!

3) Some eye candy from the Flickr universe.  Your Best Shot: For the Birds, The Kittens, Black & White.  Which reminds me.  I NEED to be as loyal to Flickr as I am to my blog reading.  If not more so.  New Year's resolution perhaps. 

4) A photo from yours truly.  Just because. 

5) I want to be *here* 

6) Speaking of holidays and running away to Spain. . .another song.

p.s. This lala.com situation is genius.  No more horrid youtube videos just to share a song!

My heart has ached a bit the past two days.  Not for any reason except that. . .I'm tired of waiting to be surprised. 

This photo. . .
