Super-Busy Week and Our Pretty Downtown

I have just been going a mile a minute for the whole week. My job was just hoppin' and I wore my hand-chained rosary (<--- link) to work and to Mass, and got five rosary orders and sold my rosary right out of my hands! So it's been busy and I have not been around to see anyone's blog! Boo!

Running errands for work yesterday, I had to go downtown to the Post Office there, and I saw such a pretty little shop that I pulled over and got a few snaps really quickly! It was SO bright, and SO hot. It was just like wading in hot gasses, which I guess it actually is! There were currents of hot and less-hot air, and from the dark courtyard next to the really pretty shop, there was a thin snake of air that was almost cool! 



I really, really want to do something like this over my door, too!



Hope everyone's week went well and I can't wait to get my chores done and hop back online to go see what everyone has been posting!

Kind regards,

Olde Dame Holly

  1. I LOVE THAT PEACOCK and want someone to paint one on my door. I wondered where you were.. here we are living in humidty that is like wearing a cloak of water, so hot it is difficult to breathe. I walk the dog at 6:15 when it is still not quite daylight. and then come home and fall in the pool to get cool enough to eat breakfast.

  2. "Pretty" is pretty much an understatement methinks LOL.... It's gorgeous!! There is something so unique about southwestern architecture. Both doors are beautiful...they just beckon one to go inside to see what is on the other side.... I am partial to that wonderful peacock door though!! Hope you find some time to slow down and BREATHE! ~Robin~

  3. Oh I like those doors and the way they're decorated. I want to visit that shop. I imagine the inside would be as adorable as the outside.
    The rosaries you make are so lovely; I'm not surprised others put in orders for their own. Is it extra busy at school because the school year is almost over?

  6. Congrats on the rosary sales. Making more will keep you busy...as if you are not busy enough.
    When does summer vacation start for you?

  7. Both doors are lovely, and equally difficult to achieve, I'm sure.

  9. Those doors are so beautiful. I think you need a combination of hot and adobe walls for it to look right though. That said, we have a painted dragon on a wall down n Builth (a Welsh one of course!)

  12. Your downtown looks so charming. I love that peacock door, so pretty. I just bought a peacock cup with a very special saying on it. It looks like they really decorated the downtown area up and made it look nice. We have a long strip which is main street in this mountain town, and there are a only a few charming shops, the antique shop, the coffee shop, and the dollar store. The rest are hardware and stores for essentials. That is wonderful that you have five orders to make your beautiful Rosaries. I will check your hand chained Rosary out right now. It's a scorcher this weekend, so I hope you stay cool where you live, Holly.

  13. I actually LOVE the sunflowers and was wondering if those were oranges around the outside of the door. The peacock is lovely, too.

    So glad you have JUST been busy and not sick. So good you sold five rosaries, too.

    It's hot here, too. We set records for hottest day of the year a couple of times already this month and it isn't even in the hottest part of the year, yet.

  17. Good afternoon from the western edge of Missouri. From the photographs here, I'm thinking you live somewhere in the southwestern part of the United States--a part much influenced by the creativity and beauty of Spanish art. Thanks for sharing such loveliness. Have a good day. Peace.

  22. I like the door decoration very pretty.
    We usually don’t have tornadoes and flooding but with the climate changes
    Now we have some.
    I am also busy at the moment next week I have the painter.
    It is cold here 15C nearly in July and lot of rain!
    Thank you for your visit .
    Hope you won’t be too hot in the desert! My son in The desert of Dubai is more than 40C.
