Pink Roses and Red Louis'

My husband walked into my Studio and scared the crap out of me, yet again!  If he was a different sort of man, he would get a sick pleasure out of it; but he never means to scare me.  He thinks I should not get scared when he either quietly walks in or barges in.  He can't grasp (bless him) when I KNOW the kitty is gonna jump me when I walk by; he doesn't get that I scream a loud, ear-splitting scream each and every time!  He just doesn't get it.  It's the thrill of being 'hunted', if you will, by my sweet and fun little Uki.  She gets me every time.  Funny thing is, she walks off as if 'she da man' and he is huffing mad!  Ah, life in this house!

When he walked in my studio, he handed me this little beauty from the garden.  I thought the season was over??  This little Rose is the perfect shade of soft pink.  It is perfection.  The scent is so beautiful!  I wish you could smell it; but for now, fat-free eye candy!


I took the above photo.  My sweet daughter took the rest.  She gave me a 'lesson' on lighting on my little hand held.  I thought she had a better camera than mine but mine is the nicer one.  It's just that this photographer is, hmmm...in need of some training??  Yeah, that is positive!  ;-)


Not a blemish on this beauty!





Moving right along.  I wanted to share these photos of my Louis Vuitton that my husband brought me back from Turkey.  I used it but here is the thing with me.  I don't like open purses.  I like to know that everything is safe inside.  This one is open.  I scratched it and freaked out so put it away for a few years  Needless-to-say, I have gotten over it.

I got a red Amouage designer bag for my birthday in June and my husband and kids were asking me where this one was.  I couldn't find it!  No I couldn't!!!  I couldn't even remember that I had this!?? This is not something one wants to 'misplace' or 'lose'.  I searched where I keep my purses and even downsized my stash.  No red Louis.

Then, Amal went searching for our old wedding dresses in my closet that we ended up wearing for Eid and she found it!  So, I have been using it since!  I get so many compliments!


My hubby thought it was a fake.  I can't tell.  It has the Louis stamp all over it.  I really like it.  I like simple and elegant.  I don't like buckles or flaps or metal all over the place.  Sleek, simple.


Love this detail or texture.




So there you have my foray into the fashion world.  The next designer bag that comes out will be featured here also.  Don't want them to 'feel' bad!

For those that asked, I slept 5 hours last night!  I'm gonna try to get a little kip in before the kids come home.  My new part time maid starts today as the other one fell through.  I hope she is lovely and we can work together!

First Rose of the Season....

I was on the computer this afternoon when my husband came in and gave me the first Rose from our garden.  Enjoy...







This little lone Rose looks so pretty with the Jasmine and you should smell it!  It is so fragrant!  I typically do not like anything rose scented; not rose water used widely in Arabia in food and bakhoor; certainly not lotion or perfume, no way.  I abhor it.  I do love a fresh rose though.  

edited to add:


Uki came by tonight and asked to jump up on my lap.  She does this by tapping her little paws on my thigh!  Then I scoot back from the desk and let her jump on my legs.  I squeezed her too tight so she proceeded to jump on my desk.  I got this snap as she was checking out the flowers!  She tells everyone out there....

Take time to smell the flowers!
