You Can Never Have Too Much Happy

Rain on a metal roof...

The softest down bed...

Sweet, sweet comfort...

Adventures in beautiful places...

Bringing your beautiful little home on wheels with you...

Happy...

You can never have too much happy...

The perfect wine glass...

A wonderful magazine filled with adventures...

Pretty little flowers...silk or real...they are beautiful...

Peace...

Love...

Happiness...

You can never have too much happy...

Colorful scarves for curtains...

A lovely view on a gray and damp spring morning...

The smell of coffee perking in the little kitchen galley...

Bacon in the electric skillet...

A good book...

Bird song and cello music drifting on a soft breeze through the Airstream...

You can never have too much happy...

Pretty plants...

More colorful scarves...

Wind chimes...

Peacefulness...

Such peace brings happiness...

You can never have too much happy...

A favorite chair to curl up in...

Throw blankets and cushions...

Little tables and cotton tablecloths...

A special place to sit while sipping coffee...

A place to use the Ipad and computer...

Being removed from the chaos of everyday living,

doesn't mean cutting ourselves off from the world...

I love sitting here and reading inspiring blogs...

It feels good...

Peaceful...Happy...

You can never have too much happy...

Hippie gypsy lights with tassels...

An old futon and a feather down bed for seating...

A cotton duvet of many colors...

A sacred little space

roaming the universe...

That is 'happy'...

You can never have too much happy,

and I never want to forget that.

Happy blessings,

Yaya

Time Out

Sometimes you need to be alone...

Alone to reflect on life...

Take time out to take care of yourself...

You deserve it...

Pack up the Airstream and go...

Blessings

Little Gypsy Dress and Pink Blossoms

It is made of the softest cotton,

and flutters in the springtime breeze like butterfly wings...

The little gypsy dress.

A soft spring rain brings magic to the garden...

Reflections in the water

of a beautiful little girl...

Dreaming...

She wants to camp in the Airstream

under the light of the stars and moon.

We're gathering and collecting our gypsy attire...

Our flowing dresses, bangles,

and magic shoes!

"This lifetime of yours...

Does it blossom?

Is it fun?

Does it glow at the center

like a miniature sun?

Does it find its own meaning

in the great scheme of things?

Is there joy in it?

Beauty?

Does your life have wings?"

Blessings

Gypsy Love

My husband and I went junking,

looking for treasures to decorate the vintage Airstream...

This gorgeous oil painting will have its place, front and center...

It was there just waiting for us...

He found it for me,

and knew it would be love at first sight...

It is true 'Gypsy Love'...

I love the colors...

I feel its spirit.

I can hear the music...

I see the camp fire...

Gypsy Love...

This long and flowing silk skirt will be packed...

Worn with many bangles,

and sandals,  sparkling with jewels...

A shawl of the finest silk,

and fringe fluttering in a night breeze under the stars...

Far away...

Like roaming gypsies...

We will wander the land,

and sleep to the music of the desert...

Gypsy Love...

Bold and beautiful jewel tones...

Gypsy colors...

Fire and ice...

Gold and silver...

Reds and sunset pinks...

Sky blue, and burnt orange...

Elegant and gaudy...

Gypsy Love...

There is such comfort and elegance in a silky maxi dress..

Soft as baby skin...

I am packing for a trip,

and have no idea when or where we will go.

I love that feeling almost as much as the trip itself.

The perfect clothes to create the perfect mood...

The perfect music,

books,

food...

Collecting campfire and crock pot recipes...

The perfect decor in the Airstream...

Down bedding,

Linens of 100 % fine finished Egyptian cotton, so soft and silky.

Everything resonating with hippie gypsy love.

Peace...

Love...

Happiness...

Blessings,

Yaya

Dream Gypsys

I want to spend weeks and weeks

wandering....

Wandering through wide open spaces...

Just us, the dogs...

Good music...

Books...

A little wine under the stars and moonlight...

Living like beautiful gypsies, 

if only for a little while...

I want to wear long flowing silky maxie dresses,

long silk skirts, bejeweled sandals,

bangles on my arms, 

large hoop earrings...

Hippie Gypsy...

unfixed hair, long and messy...

A woman and her Airstream...

Dreaming and planning...

Decorating...

We will go back to New Mexico,

and feel the spirit in the air...

Colorado,

where the wild horses run,

California,

through the vineyards,

and redwoods,

arriving on a cliff in Elk,

looking out over the Pacific Ocean.

We will stay awhile,

and sip our wine on the empty beach,

like old gypsy hippies...

But first,

the Airstream must become a glamours camper...

A glamper with a chandelier,

down bedding...

'She' needs a name, too...

Maybe Dream Gypsy?

Dreaming and planning...

Dream your dreams,

then go out there and live your dreams.

Blessings
