shimmer

we were giddy with excitement. imagine, celebrating your wedding anniversary sans the crowd, with exceedingly good food, with people you love: my mom, my son and my mom's friend who's known me since i was a munchkin. my mom treated us to a buffet spread at Rise. thanks mom! bubbly as i was, i took in the poshness of the hotel/mall/casino. amidst muted palettes of taupes, deep greys and camel were shimmery crystals and abundant natural light (we went for lunch). shimmer, time to introduce that to the home, which reminds me of this - the owner used mirrors as picture mats and the effect was --- sparkly! {from freunde von freunden}.
