Laid Back Sunday

I made a harvest soup today from fresh farmers market vegetables and was thinking, how inspiring cooking in an interesting kitchen would be.
This kitchen photo, made me realize more and more how a kitchen
should have its own artistic expression...I really like the uniqueness of this one

This room is so peaceful and dreamy...don't you think?
I absolutely, could spend my sunday in this setting, reading, sewing , just hanging out!

Makawao Street Art



                                          Spent the day in makawao today...its an upcountry
                                          cowboy town with cool shops and eateries and this
                                          is how you start the day...these beautiful pieces of
                                          art, cover a cement wall in a public parking lot...so
                                          cool. It was so nice to be upcountry...less hustle and
                                          bustle...very artsy town.  I had the day off, so my daughter
                                          and I went for a drive...to cooler temps...we grabbed some
                                          grub from the deli and found a cool secret spot with a rock wall
                                          surrounded by bamboo...what a treat. Then drove farther up, to
                                          ho'okipa...where the surf was and enjoyed watching the kite sailers
                                          and windsurfers
                                         
                                              truly a good day...hope your day was peaceful...kelly

Been away...way too long

hello everyone
I've been busy working on new items for the shop...and exploring my new home away from home.
School has started for my college daughter and my youngest is in high school...too wild. My girls
have grown so fast...I'm in utter ahhhhhhhhhhh.  So proud and excited for both of them. The sun
is so bold and beautiful here on maui...and the rhythm is so different from California. I love both
places for their...beauty and inspiring landscape. I'm missing the fall color scape of Northern California.

                                          heres some new work....in the shop... and maui scenes




                                                       camera keeps posting 2012...Yikes!
                                                         peace and love................kelly

Nooks: Places to while away the day in utter bliss

I would lounge in this space and be in complete contentment. This space is not too big...comfy and
calling out my name...pure bliss.  Where do you retreat to relax with a book or lounge for inspiration?

I've been thinking a lot about possessions

especially when you make a big move and have to downsize...........
I've never bought showroom furniture or been much of a matchy...matchy accessory buyer.
Each of my pieces have been found, gathered, given to me and have a story...a memory behind it.

Is it weird to morn these items...like an old friend?

When people say...you can just find new things...I cringe.
I don't want to just go out ...and replace new for old
It takes time...and I'm sure in time, I'll create a place of comfort for my soul, once again.

peace and love and creativity to you on this beautiful day.

Moving to Maui

Well readers...online friends
I've been very busy...planning a very different kind of move. Not the moving truck kind, where you pack everything up and truck it over to the new place. We've been selling everything off and I'm exhausted.
So, here's to simplyworn and my new adventure....I'll keep you posted.


                                                peace and love....................kelly

p.s. I don't know why my camera...posted 2012 date...weird.  Definetly a technical error or what?

Thought for Today

Yardsales...thrifting...or estate sales?
Where do you have the most luck finding your supplies?

This is random...but I saw the most beautiful shoes ...on etsy. Handmade wooden clog
heels with ornate leather. So stylish..........expensive...but cool!
I told my girls...soon to be freshman in college...and soon to be freshman in highschool
I WANT those shoes.............!
mind you.....
I don't wear high heels ...I'm strictly a flats, flip flops and boots...kind of girl.
anyways...we went thrifting the other day and low and behold....................
I found these
now, these are not those beautiful...artistic mexican ones, but a nice knock off...I had to have them.
I don't know if I'll ever wear them...you see I'm 42, pretty laid back and these might rock my world
But...they just inspire me...so even if, I just look at them...for awhile, it's fine by me.
