   What fun, fun stuff. I heard Rosie O’Donnell talking about Mad Hot Ballroom and I’ve been wanting to see it ever since. Thanks for these cool links.

   That wonderful quote is making the rounds on the internet – I have “come alive!” as my screen saver :~)

   Lovely links! It was so fun going thru these. A flower brooch from Omondieu! is now on my wishlist…so gorgeous. I am anticipating Mad Hot Ballroom as well. Thanks so much…

   I love the flower rings. I wonder if I’d have the guts to prance around in one all day! I need guts. 🙂

   Did you know there’s another hotel like that, but bigger, and much closer? The Madonna Inn, in San Luis Obispo. You can tour the rooms online at http://www.madonnainn.com.

   I love your large photo at the top; the flower on the right looks shy. To me it seems she is blushing and turning her face away …

    Erk. A hard day at work, but a trip to superhero land did indeed cheer me up. Oh – such an inspiration. Made remember that creative seed. And those flowers are the best design of all.
    AND – after the last blog I too asked for a inspiring dream, and I had the most vivid dream. When I half woke up I asked what the message was…. and the answer came…. there are other realitys then this one. And THAT is helping me through a rough patch.

    Just beautiful, I think I must have been standing in the same spot on my SF trip when I snapped this pic thanks to the dahlias you posted back in August!

    Isn’t inspiration one of the best gifts that one can give us?!
