The Grand Canyon

Quite an impressive hole in the ground to say the least. "Majestic, Mesmerizing, Vast and Simply Beautiful" These are words that I overhead a group of elementary kids saying when asked to describe The Grand Canyon while looking over the South Rim, on what was an obvious school field trip. Wow, we never got to do something like THAT when I was in school. 









Inspired  by the canyon colors is the Spicy Senorita Dress at $69.00 you can't beat it. 

Inspired by the Native Indians of the Canyon. This Tribal Pattern Sweater is great to add to a dress and boots like above. But, equally eye-pleasing over leggings and a T. Not to mention comfy comfy.


Sometimes the Canyon has a thin layer of smoke and mist at sunset, from the campers and the controlled burns. It looks hazy and mystical and still very beautiful.  Above is an equally beautiful shirt dress in smoke grey, inspired by the look of the Canyon. This dress can be glammed up or casual, whatever you feel like. The material has a sheen which makes your skin glow.



Oh and these shoes. How mod and in-style. These color-blocked shoes  are inspired by the many Ravens that fly high above and through-out the canyon. Slick Black Ravens that have shades of grey and pewter. Native to the Canyon, these birds are also beautiful in their own way.


This beautiful and highly intrique piece is inspired by the beautiful hand-made Indian jewelry--also taking the colors of the canyon in to account. Check out this Sierra necklace and other items at http://www.simplyhomeltd.com/.




Amazing that the Colorado River did this, more than 3800 million years worth of work. 






The Canyon can be mysterious and sultry also.  Seeing the shadows and the ravens against the color of the Canyon is quite breathtaking.  Contrasts of slience with hushes of beauty--this can inspire those days when you feel like keeping everything to yourself.  However, the Grand Canyon is so surreal and unbelieveable, I had to share it with you.

Back to School in Style

Class is now in session--or at least it seems that way--everywhere you look there are signs that the schools season is upon us.  A time of yellow school buses and organized clutter, of happy children laughing and colorful crayon boxes.  A time to steal away an impromtu picnic, from the last days of summer, before you really settle into your routine.


Come on, add some color into your life. Match your personality to the way you live. Be Happy, playful and Loud......Life's moments are worth capturing.  Check out these gorgeous items that do just that.

A New Beginning

How can you not be inspired by a stunning sunrise? Something so majestic and beautiful--an aweing wonder that makes life's small dissapointments seem so insignificant in comparison.


As hushed pinks and mulled purples push through the horizon, these soft dusty tones spread out across the sky like splayed fingers across the face of innocense.


A new dawn, a new beginning, A promise of comfort & peace--for now; for just this moment when everything is alright in the world--when everything is standing still.  Drink it in.  Hold this gift on the tip of your tongue, until you can taste the possibilities.


Only then swallow, so you too can write a part of this chapter in the story called life.

Beyond Beauty

Just finished a photo shoot for our on-line boutique, SimplyHome. All of the pictures are so beautiful, and it is going to be toooo hard to pick only a few to feature on-line to showcase our fashion. These gals, the models (Katie & Zoe), are beyond beautiful to look at. They are respectful, polite, fun, charming and all around sweet-natured young ladies. Most behavior is learned, so kudos to their Mamas. But, the true caliber of an individual is what is on the inside.




“People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.” Salma Hayek

Summer Fun



Nothing is better on a hot summer evening than home-made ice cream. Yummy. There is somthing to be said about this good, old-fashioned treat that makes kids, and the kids-at-heart, smile. Yes, the cream adds an extra calorie or two, but how can you pass up all natural fun made with whatever you want?....if you love fruit; well, add strawberries or cherrys.....add some chocolate or pecans....if that is what you feel like--the sky is the limit. Personally, I have fell in love with Austin's Home-Made Ice Cream in a neighboring sleepy little town Kenova, WV.  Cinnamon is to die for as well as the Kaluha Crunch. How could you possibly make it any better, you ask? Serve it in handmade cups on a super funky fun tray from MacBeth. An inspiring way to beat the heat!
