Friday's Miller Time is Brought to you by the Mirrored Floral T

HAPPY FRIDAY!  Isn't it great to have survived the end of the world?  as with everything in this world, we watched it live on TV!  I was ready to pounce on the rum at a moment's notice if need be!

Okay, I know that Dani is very busy with #1 son, so Miller Time is likely to be very haphazard!  Have no fear!  I have mixed  up a tray of pomegranate martinis, with little sticks of rosemary tucked in to be very festive!  So we are all ready to have a lovely weekend!

During the 30% mayhem, J Crew released the Mirrored Floral Tshirt.  Given how many things I have that would match it, I immediately jumped on it as it was so cheap and it became a ride-along, tagging along with a couple of other small things!

I thought it was so pretty! 

In realy life the background is well and truly ivory, as opposed to the almost white I seemed to see on my computer screen!

And me this morning, on my first day of vacation:



I am wearing it here with my byzantine blue jackie (so you can see it is slightly lighter, almost a faded version of the byzantine blue), a little silver tree pin, jeans and on old pair of brown shoes I have had for several years.  All very comfy and good, which is great as I got a lot of my wrapping done and the bulk of my christmas food shopping!

Yesterday, J Crew JD asked if pagoda blue was similar to brocade blue.  I took a picture, but I am not satisfied that it is truly representative of the two colours at all!  However, it does give you a sense of the difference of the two colours. 



Speaking of blue, I thought I would share a little of the artistic talent of my daughter.  The walls of her bedroom are tiffany blue.  Recently, she bought paints and did some artistry to her walls:


This is a quote by Dumbledore in one of the Harry Potter books.  She loves Harry Potter!  Isn't it pretty?

The second is a tree beside which is a quote by John Green (the author of one the most lauded books of 2012, The Fault in Our Stars (This is a"young adult" book, but I tell you, read it.  It is amazing.  But don't read it over Christmas.  Pick a nice sunny day when you are feeling good.  It is sad, but wonderful).




The tree doesn't normally have lights - they are a Christmas add-on!  As is the cotton-batting below!

See the full tree below:



 Isn't this fun?  I think it is neat that she has put two very comforting quotes on her walls!  It took her hours to do and it is lovely!  I would love one in a couple of other spots in the house, but I don't have a quote yet!

In a little while Barry and I are heading downtown for supper as this same child has a household of kids over for a party and we will just be in the way!!!

Have a happy Friday!!!  And stay safe out there - we have a whole other Mayan calendar cycle to get through!
