Here's hoping that is weekend brings out the artist in you, whether your canvas is big.... or small:-)

And speaking of painting (and blue) , I sent the uber-talented Melanie creative direction on one of the projects for her upcoming painting retreat at Peacock Pavilions in October. The concept: indigo. Pop over here to see a few of the images I sent her for inspiration. They are surprising and, frankly, incredible! There are still a few slots left on her retreat. We'd love to have you join us -- you'll not only learn decorative painting techniques to make your own home more beautiful but you'll experience all the wonders of my exotic hometown, Marrakesh!
