Beautiful….love the black and white look around your home.
Am loving that beautiful cushion and Peruvian rug and sagebrush on the bedroom wall!
Much love
Will you be posting the recipe for those Cranberry Pumpkin muffins?
Wow, the black and white makes ordinary everyday stuff look so artsy and special–what a good idea to do that! Love your pictures! <3<3
Agree with Trish, Beautiful. inventive clean, minimalist design. rug, sagebrush, dragonflies…all favorites to me.
Love the southwest, natural and austere design. Doesn’t exactly work for me here in the Northeast, anymore since I’m so long removed from my Southwest history. I long ago gave up and changed my perspective & reverted to Early American which has its own beauty, especially in the East, but, it is so great to see the natural & S.W look again.
Made the Greek style Quinoa salad last week. It was delicious. Will definately make it again. It’s a keeper! Thank you!!!!
Hi Julie,
I sorta made it up as I went along, but I’ll try to pound out a recipe to share!
Thanks for the request!
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
