Yet another reason that I adore Joel so very much. Yesterday I got a very fun piece of mail. Inside it was an awesome retro postcard and and and my very own Pocket Joel!!!! See, I think Joel is just absolutely adorable, and I've told him time and time again that I wish I could just keep him in my pocket at all times to make me smile when I need it. Well Joel actually made me a Pocket Joel!! Can you believe how awesome he is? Joel, for your information, Pocket Joel is now living inside of my purse so that he goes everywhere I go. Expect picture text proof when I go fun places. :)
It's a rainy Saturday. The kind just made for napping. But instead, Andy and I went out to lunch. We were planning on going to the Kerrytown aritsan market, but it was just too cold and rainy and somebody (coughmecough) thought it would be warm enough to not wear a jacket. Wrong. So we skipped the artisan market in favor of a very disappointing, but dry and warm, visit to the thrift shop. Now we're getting ready to head out to our best friends' house to hang with them and the kiddos. I need to take some pictures because my goddaughter is only getting cuter the older she gets. It's pretty ridiculous how smart and hilarious and adorable she is.
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

My favortie waders! Hard to find Industrial grade Acton Protecto Hip Waders boots. They are made of natural rubber and have the stong smell of natural rubber. The rubber can take a good shine. Like they are Industrial grade the rubber is chemical resistant and they are steel toe and thick heavy soles. The top part is made of thinner flexible rubber. Acton products are usually Made in Canada but theses are a newer version so they are Made in China but the quality is the same.

Well I think my Dad would be the first to admit to having been a bit of both.
His 90th birthday today and we all went out for a celebratory meal then returned home for cake, sparklers, and believe it or not, cups of tea lol! Have loads of photo's to wade through but just too tired to look tonight.
My dear Aria got new body. I can't believe that I can love her even more! ♥
I love how dainty she has become. I am also glad that this outfit fits SDGr body. It used to fit only Unon. But now more girls can share this lovely outfit. ^__^
This is my mini fail attempt to take a sexy picture of Aria. She is too shy and refused to show any more of her skin. I bet if this was Arie, she is more than willing to show more. That girl is never once shy. :P
Also can be viewed in full size here!
The camera seems to think it was dark inside our friends Matt & Jack's cozy farmhouse kitchen on Sunday morning, but actually it was quite sunny in there as we had our oatmeal and coffee and caught up on the two months since we'd last been to visit. We were in Connecticut for a family wedding the day before and that gave us a good excuse to stop by for "bed and breakfast". Alas we all had things to do on Sunday so the visit was short.
The Lloyd's building (known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. It is located on the former site of East India House in Lime Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior. Twenty-five years after completion in 1986, the building received Grade I listing in 2011; it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status.
a staging. this tiny painting was in a main level powder room. I think it is perfect above the clients bed.

The Palatine Gallery, on the first floor of the piano nobile, contains a large ensemble of over 500 principally Renaissance paintings, which were once part of the Medicis' and their successors' private art collection. The gallery, which overflows into the royal apartments, contains works by Raphael, Titian, Perugino (Lamentation over the Dead Christ), Correggio, Peter Paul Rubens, and Pietro da Cortona. The character of the gallery is still that of a private collection, and the works of art are displayed and hung much as they would have been in the grand rooms for which they were intended rather than following a chronological sequence, or arranged according to school of art.
The finest rooms were decorated by Pietro da Cortona in the high baroque style. Initially Cortona frescoed a small room on the piano nobile called the Sala della Stufa with a series depicting the Four Ages of Man which were very well-received; the Age of Gold and Age of Silver were painted in 1637, followed in 1641 by the Age of Bronze and Age of Iron. They are regarded among his masterpieces. The artist was subsequently asked to fresco the grand ducal reception rooms; a suite of five rooms at the front of the palazzo. In these five Planetary Rooms, the hierarchical sequence of the deities is based on Ptolomeic cosmology; Venus, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter (the Medici Throne room) and Saturn, but minus Mercury and the Moon which should have come before Venus. These highly ornate ceilings with frescoes and elaborate stucco work essentially celebrate the Medici lineage and the bestowal of virtuous leadership. Cortona left Florence in 1647, and his pupil and collaborator, Ciro Ferri, completed the cycle by the 1660s. They were to inspire the later Planet Rooms at Louis XIV's Versailles, designed by Le Brun.
The collection was first opened to the public in the late 18th century, albeit rather reluctantly, by Grand Duke Leopold, Tuscany's first enlightened ruler, keen to obtain popularity after the demise of the Medici.

I always feel so complete once I have fully embraced my female personna. My skirt and top combined with my make up, accessories, perfume and long hair simply complete the connection to the feminine feelings I have deep inside of me. The result is one of overwhelming contentment in finally being the person I truly am.
Massive yet elegant, the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is considered as the finest piece of early-Mamluk architecture in Cairo. It was built between 1356-1363 and features on the 100 Pound Egyptian note.
Inside the Mosque, the hanging lamps came way down from the ceiling and provided for a very interesting perspective. I also liked how the colours were looking here so chose to stray from the monotone look so far for my Cairo shots.

My daughter Bettina and I stopped for a quick lunch at Pop Burger on E 58th St., New York, NY before visiting the Museum of Modern Art this past weekend. The museum was packed but we had a great time admiring the artworks on display. More photos on my FB link below.

On the walls are large and expansive frescoes that depict battles and military victories by Florence over Pisa and Siena.
The ceiling consists of 39 panels also constructed and painted by Vasari and his assistants, representing Great Episodes from the life of Cosimo I, the quarters of the city and the city itself and towards the center is the apotheosis : Scene of His Glorification as Grand Duke of Florence and Tuscany.
On the north side of the hall, illuminated by enormous windows, is the raised stage called the Udienza, built by Bartolommeo Bandinelli for Cosimo I to receive citizens and ambassadors. Above are frescoes of historical events; among these, that of Boniface VIII receiving the ambassadors of foreign States and, seeing that were all Florentines, saying: "You Florentines are the quintessence".
In the niches are sculptures by Bandinelli: in the center the statue of the seated "Leo X", and on the right a statue of "Charles V crowned by Clement VII".
There are also numerous bombastic Medicean tapestries on the walls, including Stories of the Life of St. John the Baptist, taken from the frescoes of Andrea del Sarto.
The six statues along the walls that represent the "Labors of Hercules" are by Vincenzo de'Rossi.
In the central niche at the south of the Hall is Michelangelo's famous marble group the "Genius of Victory" (1533-1534), originally intended for the tomb of Julius II. The statue was taken from the Bargello Museum.
What is it that we are all looking for? Is it someone to love with all of the love we can muster up inside of ourselves? Is that the dream that we all dream? To find someone who will love us will all of the passion in their heart? Someone who will reciprocate the love that we give to them in every way?
Or is it really that we long to be appreciated for who we are... for what we are... for what we have overcome and for what we have achieved?
As I mature in years and in wisdom I understand that it's not too difficult a proposition to fall in love... it's more challenging to maintain that love and to keep the fire of pasion burning and the flames stoked with the growing together that results from the soft and tender shared moments in life... as I come to understand so much more about myself and the world... what I have come to understand is more than the quest for love... that obtaining a partner who appreciates you deeply and sincerely is the 'holy grail' of relationships.
There is no satisfaction so deep as to open yourself up to another human being in complete honesty and to have that person truly appreciate you.
To be appreciated is to be loved.

- I saw you standing in the corner, on the edge of a burning light..I saw you standing in the corner..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..You make me feel a little older, like a full grown woman might but when youre gone I grow colder, come to me again in the cold, cold night..I see you walking by my front door, I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor..I dont care what other people say, Im going to love you, anyway..Come to me again in the cold, cold night..I cant stand it any longer, I need the fuel to make my fire bright so dont fight it any longer..Come to me again, in the cold, cold night..And I know that you feel it too, when my skin turns into glue, you will know that its warm inside and youll come run to me, In the cold, cold, night

In questo scatto ho voluto racchiudere tre delle mie più grandi passioni.
1- Leggere. Chi mi conosce sa quanto ami perdermi tra mondi fantastici ed amori impossibili
2- La musica. Non potrei mai andare in giro senza il mio i-pod: non c'è niente di meglio che costruirsi la colonna sonora della propria vita!
3- La fotografia. La Canon è nuova, ma la passione c'è sempre stata.
PS: Non avevo una penna abbastanza bella, altrimenti l'avrei messa in modo da rappresentare lo Scrivere :)
---------
By taking this pic I wanted to tell you some of the most important things in my life.
1-Reading. I've always loved reading and I can't imagine my life without book, who have always stood beside me
2-Music. I couldn't go out without my ipod as music is a part of who I am and gives me reasons to feel better everyday
3-Photography. I've just bought my new camera but I've always love taking pictures!
PS: I would have added a pen, which represents how much I enjoy writing, but I didn't have a pretty one :)

O Mercado Municipal de São Paulo, inaugurado em 1933, é um importante entreposto comercial de atacado e varejo, especializado na comercialização de frutas, verduras, cereais, carnes, temperos e outros produtos alimentícios. O Mercado localiza-se no centro antigo da Capital Paulista, sobre uma área ganha ao Rio Tamanduateí, na Várzea do Carmo.
O edifício, em estilo eclético, foi construído entre 1928 e 1933 pelo escritório do renomado arquiteto Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo, sendo o desenho das fachadas de Felisberto Ranzini. No interior, magníficos vitrais de Conrado Sorgenicht Filho mostram vários aspectos da produção de alimentos.
O entreposto foi totalmente reformado em 2004, na administração da prefeita Marta Suplicy. A fachada foi recuperada, os vitrais foram restaurados e foi construído um mezanino, de autoria do arquiteto Pedro Paulo de Mello Saraiva, com diversos quiosques de comes e bebes. Graças à reforma, o Mercado é hoje um ponto de encontro dos paulistanos. Atualmente está sendo construído um estacionamento subterrâneo para facilitar o acesso dos visitantes.
