Poodle Time!-Liz and Poodles

Liz Taylor and Poodles Liz Taylor’s love for animals is renown. I will be the first to admit that her major dog love was “Sugar”, a Maltese who passed away in 2005. After “Sugar”, she fell for “Daisy”, a descendent of Sugar. Liz also had Poodles, especially during her earlier years. Some of these pictures could possibly be studio orchestrated.Continue reading “Poodle Time!-Liz and Poodles”

“threaded”-Sharing One of My Favorite Blogs

Threaded is a fashion blog, but not the usual fashion blog that you see today. It is based on history and social context. You can read everything from the evolution of the swimsuit, the beginning ofContinue reading ““threaded”-Sharing One of My Favorite Blogs”

Needless toContinue reading “GardenThyme-I Love My New Sloggers!”

Joan Miró’s Birds

I have a affection for the childlike surreal world that Joan (hoh-ahn) Miró created. His lyrical lines and beautiful forms and color appeal to the pre-schooler to the grandparent.

Continue reading “Joan Miró’s Birds”
