Softness, affection, innocence, and love...
Hues of carnation, fuchsia, cherry blossom, magenta, lavender rose, puce, amaranth, cerise.
Oh the beauty and bliss of being tickled pink...

I Googled 'Collaged Furniture' and found this image.
{Silly me. I was thinking paper collaged onto furniture... not furniture collaged onto furniture!} Artist Thomas Wold's creation, as seen on Apartment Therapy blog, reminds me of the casework created for a retail wine shop that I wrote about on my retail design blog. This stuff is COOL and I'm heading out to the shop to grab some 'junk orphans' to see what I can create. What do you think about it?? Too progressive for the vintage set - or just quirky enough to elicit squeals of delight?
Ok, then... you win!
Our favorite links have been restored to the sidebar!
{Sorry if you clicked in over the past hour or two and couldn't get on the blog -
I had to pull it down while working on this new format}
Here's a quick tour of the changes:
Everything about Retreat is on the left.
Friends, fans, followers, visitors and resources are on the right.
{By the way, if you need help with your blog, I'd love to help you. I've designed quite a few {Faded Elegance, Garden Party, Poppyseeds, and our blogs} and can fix things up fast & affordably for you. Email me at Debi.WardKennedy@gmail.com}
I have a friend who writes a really interesting blog called Reconstruction.
It's a collection of beauty found in places that have hardly any life.
Thinking about that concept, I remembered the colorful
Argentinian neighborhood La Boca. Located in Buenos Aires,
La Boca was the main port in the city, where ships would stop
bringing among things Italian immigrants looking for opportunities.
With the feeling of hope also came the "saudade" of their hometown.
The Italians them started to paint their homes with the reminiscent
paint from the port boats. Since there wasn't enough of one color,
the houses became little rainbows and with that small change,
life came to them.
This is just a reminder that it's possible to live,
be happy and be beautiful in tough times. :)
* Eu tenho uma amiga que tem um blog muito interessante chamado Reconstruction.
É uma coleção da beleza encontrada em lugares onde quase não existe vida.
Pensando sobre esse conceito, me lembrei do colorido bairro Argentino La Boca.
Localizado em Buenos Aires, La Boca era o principal porto da cidade,
onde navios atracavam trazendo junto com muitas coisas,
imigrantes Italianos esperançosos por uma nova vida e novas oportunidades.
Com o sentimento de esperança vinha também a saudade da terra natal.
Os Italianos então começaram a pintar suas casas com as tintas remanescentes
dos barcos do porto. Como não havia tinta suficiente de uma só cor,
as casas viraram pequenos arco-íris. E com essa pequena mudança a vida
retornou aquele lugar.
Isso é apenas uma pequena lembrança de que é possível viver,
ser feliz e vera beleza em tempos difíceis. :)
