I'm Back To My Modeling Career Today...

Well, I didn't work my 2nd job selling stuffed hotdogs at the drive-in today.  Instead, I modeled, and I made this thank you card for Romeo's mommy. She gives such adorable girly gifts... see the dainty pink Coach purse looped around my wrist? I wonder if mom would let me borrow it as a pretty treat bag... hmm... 

Happy Furry Friday to you!!!

Light and Lovely Peonies for A Light and Bright Spring Weekend

Happy Furry Friday!  The pink peonies are remarkably ripe now with fragrance and beauty.  Spring is finally in the air, and with bright vibrance here in California this weekend. Love it!  I wish you all a glorious spring weekend, hopefully not too hot, not too cold, but just right.  Have fun and enjoy the spring air, and spring light sweet friends.

XOXO,

ViVi

Peonies from A Kind Gentleman

This magnificent magical pink peony bouquet came home yesterday as a special gift from a kind gentleman stranger at the front of the grocery checkout line.  When asked for his first name as I thanked him, he replied, "no names, instead, may the kindness spread beyond and never stop, I just met an old friend who I hadn't seen in many years."  The art of random acts of kindness are not lost.  And, after photographing the bouquet of 5 blossoms that came home with us with this beautiful blessing, I gave one peonie to Rusty Bear's ma and another peonie to Max's ma.  This morning Max's ma said, "Guess what happened to me last night... in the middle of the night I got a random phone call from an old friend of mine who I haven't spoken to in 17 years!"  

So the chain of magic goes on and on and on... link after link... person to person.  We thank you, whoever you are, dear nameless stranger, and maybe we'll meet again.
