Sometimes We Just Want Pretty!

Rumer Willis looking pretty at the beach
I was recently reading one of my favorite blogs, A Beach Cottage, and the author, Sarah, wrote something that stuck with me about blogging (which is tough sometimes when you write 6 articles a week) ...

Hey we are girls here…sometimes we just want pretty!

Isn't that true? Some days I just don't feel like writing serious articles. I just want pretty...pretty photos to gaze at, that take my mind away from the daily stress. Photographs that take me away to another world where everything is girly, beautiful and beach cottage-y. Sometimes I want to read about shoes or clothing too! What about you?

What does this have to do with today's post ~ well, not much! LOL! I guess I'm just trying to find myself in the world of blogging...well, in the world actually. Sarah's statement hit a cord and I'm going to remember it when I can't think of something to share with you...we're all girls (well, 99.5% of our readers) and the majority of us like girly stuff.

What do I find pretty today?  Let's take a peek!
Spring...



Daisies in Blue Mason Jars...


Greece...




Distressed Signs...




Ranunculus in galvanized tins...



Starfish & coral...



Peonies...



Weathered Shingles with Roses...



Love...


Romantic vignettes...



and dreamy escapes from reality....


How's that for some pretty today????

    2. I LOVE YOUR PRETTIES!!! I love seeing photos that are so beautiful they just take your breath away. Photos that let our imaginations run wild even after we have put the picture away. Your blog does that for me my friend, always pretties to be seen here as well as a beautiful heart. :)

    6. Well, I gotta agree! I hope that my readers like my blog, but it's an outlet for my need for pretty. Sometimes what's on my mind leaks through, but it's never my aim to provide anything but something nice to see. You sure did that here! :)
