I’m sitting in my kitchen wondering how it happened that I moved away from surrounding myself with the cool calmness of pale greens and sedate black to the fireball of blistering reds and yellows.
It wasn’t a conscious decision – it just happened. So far my wardrobe is unchanged but if I should meet you one evening wearing a serape, don’t hesitate to point it out to me. I might not have realized.
Also, the turtle has landed! It is exquisite.

That new color scheme and turtle are just lovely – such an inviting-looking kitchen!
(Also: I side with those that say the car looks like a Stormtrooper. Not that that’s a bad thing AT ALL. 🙂 )
Sometimes we just can’t deny our inner desires.
I had gone with a sophisticated cranberry/black/cream decor and it worked until I found a Monet print of vibrant colors that I fell in love with. oh. well.
Like Popeye..I am what I yam.
Love the human looking eyes.
How’s the little chef clock guy doing?
The chef clock is still the centerpiece of my kitchen design scheme. I assumed he was Italian but now that I look at him with fresh eyes, I see that he might be Mexican. At least his mustache could be.

look at the time! it’s already 25 knives past a fork!
What have you done with the Frito Bandito and why do you have his mustache!?!
Still lovin’ the wire coffee steam…
I want a turtle like that. Seriously – where’d you find the turtle?
eBay! Act surprised.
There are a lot of different turtle styles from several sellers. Mine came from a seller called “mextrade_1”. they said it would take 3 weeks transit time to get here from Mexico but it was only 10 days.
I was really after a chicken flower pot but the turtle captured my heart.
