'Cos everything is soon dead and gone

Colour and patterns, what's not to love?

Colour shock

The past 20 years I've been longing for one. Maybe it's time to finally get one.

I'm always in favour of colour

I kind of think that I don't keep track of trends but it's not really true, because in some strange way I do, or rather, I tend to notice that what I like often happens to become trends. There's of course a sociological reason for that that I'm not going to delve in to here though.

So. Folklore. Colour. What's not to like? Well, I'm not alone. The flowers are bougainvillea btw. From Rock n Roll Bride.

Floats my boat!

I sort of had a little summer break there...

I think I'm in love. Oh wait, it's pretty much what I'm already trying to do at home!

As time passes

I have a thing for brick, preferably if it comes in the derelict form, especially in old abandoned industrial buildings. Stumbled over this site today. Below are my favs.

 

It's not just the bricks of course. This is a stark reminder of how short our time is and how quickly we disappear in to history. These pictures are painfully beautiful, with the kind of pain that comes when you realise life actually has an end. It takes a while to come to that understanding. Life slowly gets this bitter-sweet streak the older I get. I've lived half my life, maybe more, maybe less. Then I'm gone, slowly lost in time, just as these buildings will be eventually. It's sad, but I have accepted it and I think that's why I have developed a love for the old, no longer needed or wanted and soon forgotten.

Peacock

I have a flair for the dramatic. I want to cut my dreads off, dye my hair black and get one of these veils.

The veil on the picture is from Castle Bride Couture.

Colour!

I've been looking a bit on Etsy.com today, mostly because I'm in need of some inspiration. There are many pretty things to look at over there. For a splash of colour (and things to pull inspiration from), have a look at these! Click on images to go to the shop in question.
