What Colour is Your Glass Ceiling?

{Pictures via Dale Chihuly via The Diva::special thanx}

I took a stroll to many places this afternoon to one of my many special 'spots'. Found a picture of this wonderful glass ceiling installment. The vibrant colours and the shear beauty of this piece sent me looking for more! While perusing through the magnificent picturial displays, I began to ponder....what would I give to live under one, just one!, of these visual appetizers?...hummmmm

{ INSPIRATIONS }

My very talented friend at High Desert Diva {I digress with good reason--you've got to visit her delicious Etsy site...you'll be hard-pressed to come away without an equally delicious purchase...think 'last minute Christmas items'}, sent me this wonderfully 'awesome' paper art design to add to my collection {thanx, a million}. Like the rest, It is far too magical* to keep to myself.
You are sure to agree...

It's A {Blog-Aversary} ::

Here I am 'blog strolling' again, only this time through my e-mail. Following up on a comment that I posted on Bliss, I strolled onto Cicada Daydream. What an amazingly {pretty} and engaging spot! Intriqued by the name ::{side story:: approximately 3-4 years ago, I had my first experience with this mysterious {locust?} called a cicada. Not being native to the area that I now, lovingly, refer to as 'home' and not being much into the insect world, I was completely in awe of the arrival of these red-eyed, lightweight, wide-winged creatures that miraculously appear after a seventeen year ?hibernation/?incubation}.
The first thing that peaked my curiosity about Cicada Daydream was "Why that handle"? I stopped pass to find that, like the evenly euphonic rhythm of the tunes that awakened me, Cicada Daydreams is 'fan-tabulous'{my word:D}! Well, I kept 'strolling' and arrived onto another amazingly, equally 'fan-tabulous' engaging site - High Desert Diva whose blogaversary happens to be today. What kept me there? Well to start, the sassy, take-no-prisoners, gun slinging cowgirl adorning the western-styled vintage header. Secondly, the friendly and engaging posts that invite you to settle in for the long haul. And lastly, but certainly not least, you can't go wrong with Etsy! So to you, High Desert Diva--HAPPY BLOG-AVERSARY!!!
