Blue and White are the BFFs of the color world.

Forever these two colors will be great together, plus they  love more friends to join them. 

They are easy going kinda colors.  Enjoy your weekend.  Love, Heidi

Chris Barrett

I was flipping through my House Beautiful magazines last night and realized that I am in love with the style of Chris Barrett.  I have collected numerous images and gutted a few magazines that were of her designs.  Her 1929 Spanish style bungalow was featured on the front cover of House Beautiful as well as a nice spread inside.  Her home is only 1050 square feet (320.04 meters) and extremely charming.  I love how everything is white or cream (a clean canvas) and then she adds dark woods and interesting antiques even worldly treasures, finally she adds the color with flowers, food and pillows.  All of which can be changed on a whim to suit the mood or season.  The roses on the front of her home are Eden Roses, must get some. 
All image sources for this post are from House Beautiful and Chris Barrett.  Enjoy, Heidi

The following are some of her other projects. 

I'm pretty sure that most of them have been involved in past posts here on Heidi Claire.

Georgous!!!

Garden Party

Weather perfection today.  Stayed outside half of the day and it felt GREAT!  Trees are budding out and bees are a buzz.  I love to watch the sequence of plants take turns blooming at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.  First the paper whites then, daffodils, quince, saucer magnolias, camellias, pear trees and red bud trees.  I dream of having a garden party like these pics.  I have all of the plates, glasses, silverware and napkins.  I can even whip out a few of these mason jar arrangements.  I think that I am going to have to have myself a garden party.  Enjoy, Heidi

Thanks to LOVE.

Just wanted to say that I survived V-Day and that I have the greatest customers.  After all was said and done, my little store doubled what it did last year for Valentine's Day.  Thanks to Love, maybe the economy is improving or perhaps the credit card companies have been extending credit.  What ever the case may be, I am grateful.  Here is a little peek into my world.  Enjoy, Heidi

Beautiful People.

The most Beautiful People

we have ever known are those

who have known defeat, known

suffering, known struggle, known

loss and have found their way

out of the depths.

These persons have an

appreciation, a sensitivity of life

that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people don’t

just happen.

 

Elizabeth Kubler Ros

I am drawn to these people and now I know why. I don't see suffering in the same way I used to.  Heidi
