Beautiful Friday: 5 Beautiful things from yesterday & today....

Day 11

Beautiful thing #1-- The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta starts tomorrow--Photographer Ray Watt took this image of one of my fav balloons that actually might not be there because it was one of several balloons held up in China ANYWAY today was an unofficial mass ascension and driving home from early swim practice we were treated to balloons all over Albquerque & surrounding cities and a beautiful sunrise -go ahead be jealous cause it was beautiful! You just can't beat the blue of NM skies.



Beautiful Thing #2 This article from Glamour magazine on starting a Body Revolution I find these women stunningly beautiful and more importantly REAL women!

Kudos to Glamour lets hope it REALLY starts a revolution cause I have heard years of talking but no real results in fashion mags yet...and my youngest got Teen Vogue for her birthday because she loves all the fashions--yes yes hub and I had LOOONG conversations and debates before we made this decision knowing the body image issues BUT in the end we trust our daughter and communication is of course the key to anything!


Yes they are totally beautiful!


Beautiful thing #3 spiders yes spiders were used to weave this beautiful tapestry....and the color is actually the color of the spider silk


This picture makes me want to email the person to ask if these are alive or not...they are beautiful but from afar...


Beautiful Thing #4 Paula Prass's Woodland Delight Just one of many fabric lines that have been debuted recently before the Fall Quilt Market in Houston one day I will go I will be there it is in the plans! This is one of the few fabric lines I have seen where I like every print!


Beautiful Thing #5 a song to leave you humming from a fellow Twitterer Urbancrafter
Hey man, now you're really livin! - The Eels http://blip.fm/~e8271
