The Dutch sky...from Ann

Because I like to show you the Dutch sky...how it looked just 30 min ago (its 20.15 pm here now) no clouds...just a tree...difficult to miss since I live opposite a park I'm surrounded by trees :)) Will post a pic of it later. 

My sky ( by Rosydy)

My sky this evening

Everyone else seems to have photos of flowers, so here are mine, from my garden (well, techinically the roots are in my neighbour's garden, but most of the plant is over our side of the fence!!)

I have absolutely no idea what they are :)

Anyone care to help me out?

Love, Em

XOXO

My sky today - Angel_Emz95

Yes, this actually is the sky... spot the cloud competition!! Haha...

Appearances are decieving though - a couple hours ago it was raining so hard I thought it would come through the roof!!!

I would love to see all your skies!

Love, Em

XOXO

Lanzarote....from Ann

I saw Polixena of Zena is from Lanzarote and I was there 2 years ago on a holiday. Took a lot of pics and this is one of them. I really loved the volcanic island and I love to go back there one day :)

Ann is saying: Hi girlsssss!

Hi girls...its me Ann / Tormented as my old self (without my men lol)

Nice to be here and I will tell you a bit about myself.

I live in the Netherlands or as I like to say in Holland, I have 2 great but naughty cats called Daantje and Gekkenhuis (Daantje is short from Danielle and Gekkenhuis means Lunatic ;) )

I work in a hospital as a medical secretary at the oral surgeon department...for 5 years now...its a nice job and I really like it.

I have lots of hobbies: I like to read, take pictures, music (Pearl Jam), MOVIES! (my collection is about 775 movies and growing) Love to watch Formula One racing since 1988, love to go to concerts and festivals...and I adore New York :))))

You all probably think I'm very addicted to Mr Depp because on Polyvore it certainly looks that way ;) but in real life I like Mr. Reeves a bit more (don't ask me why but I just do for many years now)...on Poly in my sets and stories I like him too of course.  

So in short....this is me...and again...Nice to be here and I'm hoping to have a great time here with you girls :)

Large flowers - from jangold

In the continuing weather in the centre/northern part of the UK I've been forced to post outdoor pics from other places. I loved the 'large' flower that Gwyn posted, therefore, I wanted to share these two pictures with you. I took these in Mauritius and are from the famous Pamplemousses Garden there. The one on the left is from the lotus pond and the one on the right is from the more famous giant water lily pond. The pictures do not do these justice and many of these lilies are up to 2 feet in diameter. If you want to see more pics from the garden please check out: http://www.travelmauritius.info/pamplemousses_garden.html Jan

I wanted to show one of my favoite bag:)

During the summer I always choose a bascket bag to have.

Rosa sent me this photo of strawberries...which I LOVE...so I think I am going to get some for my Monday treat!

What's your treat for the day, ladies??
Hugs & Love, Gwyn

Everyday objects. PoliXena

This is a photo of my kitchen´s cupboard. I started to collect hearts long time ago because I wanted to learn to love and appreciate my life as it was and I thought they could be a wonderful reminder.

And it works, my friends... as time goes by I have started to love more (and more) my dayly life and enjoy the everyday pleasures. No doubt, little things make life great ;)

I wonder what do you collect (and why). Good night, sleep well! Xena xxxx

Mountain view....

Hiiii, it's Sofi
I am little late with this photo, I took it this weekend, I was on the mountain that is approximately 45minutes away from my home, that is a pond lake there :)) Enjoy the view and have a great week :-***

Everyday Objects - Angel_Emz95

Hello my dears, it's Em writing... I wanted to show you my dreamcatcher. I found it a couple days ago at the back of my cupboard, and I remember having it before but for the life of me I can't remember where I got it from!! Anyway I've hung it above my bed... I don't normally get bad dreams but better safe than sorry :)
Does anyone else have one of these?
Love, Emma XOXOXO
(P.S. The label doesn't quite make sense - I think "in" should read "and".)

Starless Artemis: Hello everyone!!

How are you all? I'm Tes, writing from San Francisco, California. It's foggy now, though the weekend was warm and sunny. I live a 5 minute walk from the sea and a 20 minute bike ride from a forest. Thus, I really love the outdoors (but not when its cloudy and cold). I love to take photographs, paint, and cook. However, I haven't done much of the first two lately. These days, I'm keeping busy as volunteer at a research lab, tutor everyday and teach.

This weekend, I went to Chinatown and Japantown. Chinatown is a very busy place; everytime I go I remember spending a lot of my childhood there. My grandmother took me up and down all the streets when I was in elementary school. At Japantown, they make one my favorite crepe: it has green tea gelato, matcha sauce and red bean paste. Here's take a bite!

this is in half moon bay, california, known for its beautiful beaches!

went hiking in liverpool, california a few weeks ago.


my boyfriend and i- we've veen together for over 2 years. we were friends from high school.


well that's all folks! i hope you all have a good day! it's a pleasure knowing more about all of you! ciao! ^_^

Precious Gifts - Gwyneth

Here is a beautiful flower from the tree peony that was a gift from my friend Anne. The little glass pieces are from my husband's brother. He digs for old bottles and antique bits at building sites and often gives me treasures. The bracelets are mine from flea market finds!

Have a great day everyone! Happy Monday!
Love, Gwyn

some travel photo shoot --- MingMing

Hello Ladies!! :)
This is MingMing writing.
Hope you all are doing great.


Swine flu is increasing so rapidly in Japan.
I saw a lot of people wear masks when they are in a office and on a train.
( Today I was wearing it too for just in case.)
The masks are all sold out in drugstores!!
It's so crazy!! I hope I don't get the flu.

Okay anyway, I just thought it's nice to share my some photos again:)

Those photos are a part of fun 1 day trip. It really was 24 hours trip:D

We left home at 4:00am and we went back at 4:00am next morning.

Me and my friends planed the trip just because we wanted to eat "Udon"(It's Japanese style noodles).

This is exactly what we wanted! It's simple taste but it was really good:)

Maybe it looks strange for you haha:D I understand that Japanese have very different food habit than other countries.

Hope you enjoy this:)

Still raining but some flowers - jangold

It's still raining up here in the Midlands of the UK and very grey. However, I did manage to get outside for a moment and snap this picture of these beautiful bluebells. In fact I didn't know we had any of these and went to see another plant - so this was a lovely surprise. I hope the sun comes out soon and Spring/Summer hits us between the eyes ! Hugs Jan

Light breakfast - Monypussy

Good morning Girls!!!
Do you want to have breakfast with me this morning? We have orange-juice, cherries and the cake that my mom did yesterday. Hope you like it!
Have a nice day!!!

A little bit of gardening

It is azalea time in the Pacific Northwest... this plant is in our front yard.  And then on our front porch are the tomato plants that are getting ready to be planted.  It has been several years since we have planted tomatoes so hopefully the summer will cooperate and we will have a bountiful harvest!  Take care and God Bless you!!Suzanne4

Be thankful for the light that shines upon us - jangold

My Sky - Gwyn

This is the sky from my driveway. I must admit to "cheating" a bit on this one because I took the photo a few days ago. HOWEVER...the sky looks much like this again today, so no use wasting time taking another one! :)

Happy Times To All Of Us!
Love, Gwyn

Cris´ sky

Following Emma´s idea....

It´s a sunny day!!!!

I wish a great Sunday for you my dear friends!

Many many kisses, love you all!! : )

What are you doing? - Angel_Emz95

In answer to Monika's question... I am eating a chocolate brownie that I just made :)
I didn't leave them in the oven quite long enough, so they are very soft and fall apart easily... but they still taste absolutely gorgeous!!!
And I'm getting crumbs all over the keyboard!

What are you doing?

Love, Em
XOXO

The sky today - Angel_Emz95

It's beginning to look a little more cheerful :)

"It won’t rain forever,
And the clouds aren’t going to stay
Hold on to a stronger faith,
Remember…

Behind the clouds
The sun continues to shine"

What's the sky like where you are?

Love, Emma
XOXOXO

My designs - Angel_Emz95

My dearest Jan, I'm eternally endebted to you for telling me about http://www.styleshake.com/ - it is so awesome!!
There are some restrictions with the designing, but the really cool thing is that you can buy your - and others - designs once you've designed them!
Of course, right now my pitiful funds don't stretch as far as a £50- or £60-something dress, but I live in hope of purchasing some of my creations one day...

Here are my favourites of the dresses I've created.

I think maybe the gold one with black is my overall favourite... what do you think?

Love, Em

XOXO

Angels and Demons

Hi, girls,
I've just came back from the cinema - my dad and I were watching a film "Angels and Demons". I truly recommend to watch it as it's so interesting and good. I loved the book and the film hasn't disappointed me. I loved to see amazing places of Rome and Vatican, so you should, too!
Kisses,
Monika

New Cat in the Corner - jangold

My hubby's cutting back of the brambles and branches is paying off. Yesterday I noticed a 'new kitty on the block' that I've never seen before and especially not on our Summer house shed. I don't know if it's a he or a she - but whatever that cat certainly spotted me !! Let's get the camera poised for the next little kitty Hugs Jan

One of my hobbies. PoliXena

Guess what?... I love making all sort of traditional collages. Cut and paste has been one of my favorite pastime since I was a little girl. No matter what others hobbies I can start (I´m always trying new thing, most of then related to art or craft) I always come back to my collages: I look for my scissors (I have lots of them), my glue (exactly the same) and I´m ready to pass a few hours in paradise. I´ve changed my style through the years, now my collages are more intimate but they always have help me to connect con my inner self and find peace.

Next time I will post some of them. Happy Sunday, dear friends. Much Love X. xx

NEW GROUP - POLYVORE'S PICTURE BOARD (PPB)

http://www.polyvore.com/polyvores_picture_board_ppb/group.show?id=56579

Myself (jangold), Gwyn and Mony have started a new group called Polyvore's Picture Board (PPB for short). This is a group for sets that contain picture board stories or mood boards. A picture board is a collection of other pictures. For this group, for now, all picture boards should contain 9 equal squares (3x3) as shown in the logo and examples on the grup. Therefore, at least one or two of your pictures need to be square to start with. However, the others can be made square shaped by layering. They are quick and easy to create and can be of anything as long as there is a theme attached to 4 or 5 of the pictures with the remaining squares more decorative. Picture boards can consist of anything as long as you title, tag or make obvious the theme. They can be of colours, animals, houses, gardens, flowers, holidays, places - anything you want as long as it is clear and labelled if not. Contests will be run regularly once there is enough members. Please check out the group, join and start posting. Winners of contests will be featured on this Blog as will individual artists and their sets. Any questions please just message me. Happy Poly Picture Boarding everyone !!! Jan

In response to Monica's question: what are you doing right now? I was canning vegetables all afternoon. Now i can't get the vinager smell out of my head!:) (Don't mind the date on the picture, i didn't set it right.) Happy Weekend, everybody!

My Little Girl - by Gwyneth

This is my daughter, Jen, when she was about 2 years old. She's 17 now and preparing to graduate from high school.

I wanted to show you this photo now, because at the end of the month I am going to show you the same little girl wearing her grad dress!

I'm so excited for her! :)

What are you doing?

Hello girls,
I want to invite everyone of you to join my new group "What are you doing?" http://www.polyvore.com/what_are_you_doing/group.show?id=56602.

Here are the rules: This group is for fun - you have to create interesting sets which can be either fashion, interior or art. You just have to name your set answering the question "What are you doing?", for example you publish a set about picnic and you name it "I'm having a picnic". EVERY SINGLE set that doesn't follow the rules, will be rejected. Later we'll have contests based on different themes. Be creative and have fun!
And for the funniest part - here's the video!

Love,
Monika

My hobby - Angel_Emz95

I love fashion design... I haven't done any for ages, these are all from a month or two ago. But I'll start again one day and hopefully I can show you more of my work soon!!
My favourites are the third from the left on the top right picture, the far left (what little you can see of it here) on the bottom left picture, and the third from the left on the top left picture.
What do you think?
Love, Emma

Lanzarote. PoliXena

Happy Saturday, dear friends. As I said before I´m from Canary Islands. This is a photo of the countryside of the isle where I was born -named Lanzarote- and where my mother and most of my family still live in. I don´t live there anymore, yet I´m very near. I´ve been living in a bigger isle during latest years.

Before, I used to travel quite a lot due to my work but not now (now my life is much quieter) so now I have more chances to go there to visit my mom and enjoy the calm of the volcanic landscape. Hope you like it! Take care and be happy. X. xx
