I know that Christmas is over, but all of this winter wonderland around me lately has me thinking about Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney crooning out "I want to wash my face my hands my hair in snow....". Mom and I returned from our fabulous trip to the Portland Gift Show today, where we found some new odds and ends for the store. We had the best time! The show was great and we stayed overnight at Edgefield (which is always a treat) and the beds were so comfy! If you ever go there to eat, don't pass up the wine sampler....I believe they were all my "new favorites". I had a chance to go Cargo in the Pearl District and purchased some wonderful beads and can't wait to bring them into my studio tomorrow for another viewing. That place is a mansion of eye candy!
On our way home, we fell into 3 hours of fresh snow that left us yelping for our lives at certain bends in the road and near large, splashing trucks. I can't help but be inspired by the spindly, dark trees against a cold, grey sky with the fluffy white snow falling in sheets. I realize that this is no time to be inspired by winter; it's all about spring now, baby! But, perhaps I will do some artwork that is an "ode to winter", with inspiration from the lyrics also sung by Rosemary Clooney, "To send me a joe who had winter and snow in his heart wasn't smart, love; you didn't do right by me."
