Yesterday...and today are glorious days here in Florida.
I mean every bead of sweat in the summer is worth days like these.
75 breezy and not a cloud in the sky...Heaven weather.
Not to shabby.
This is not from a color wheel.
I literally put my camera to the sky yesterday and snapped a picture.
Perfection.
Blue perfection.
I love blue.
It makes me happy not blue...
When I was deciding on what to paint for over our couch in our living room,
I kept coming back to ...the blue crab...I could not shake it.
I love the beach and everything in and around it.
It makes my senses and my soul come to life.
As often as I can I bring that into our home.
Thus...the blue crab.
Which by the way if you have never seen one in person...they are so vibrant have the most amazing colors of blue and grey and rust...just beautiful.
The crab makes me happy...not crabby.
I think it looks "coastal shabby"...
(I make up words all the time sometimes they make sense and sometimes not so much.."coastal shabby"
...i think it works do you?)
We are so pleased with how it came out.
It is huge..I took a picture further back so you can get an idea of its size.
(Do you see the dust on my coffee table!!!
I did not see it until just now...ugh!)
So I love things shabby, crabby and blue...they all make me happy...I know kind of sappy (had to).
My hope for you today is that when you look up...
...you see blue...
...and if not don't get crabby...
...find something that makes you happy...
...like a crab...
just not a crabby crab.
Love and (well I was gonna say...Love and crabs..but that just did not sound right)..sooo...
Love and Coastal Shabby Blue Crabs (better?),
Tracey
