ROBIN WILLIAMS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING...........................

AND I'M HEARTBROKEN.

RIP 

MAKE THE ANGELS LAUGH ROBIN

AND MAY THIS OPEN UP A DIALOGUE ON DEPRESSION AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH CARE ISSUES - TOO MANY FIGHT A LOSING BATTLE WITH DEMONS.

HE BROUGHT JOY TO MILLIONS WITH HIS COMEDY

YET COULDN'T BRING JOY INTO HIS OWN SOUL

WHERE IT WAS SO DESPERATELY NEEDED.

IF YOU KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO IS SUFFERING

REACH OUT

WHETHER THEY WANT YOU TO OR NOT

WHETHER THEY'VE CLOSED THE DOOR IN YOUR FACE

WHETHER THEY TRY TO REASSURE YOU THEY'RE OK

YOU'LL KNOW WHEN THEY'RE NOT

DON'T GIVE UP ON THEM

THEY'RE WORTH IT

TRUST ME ON THIS ONE

DEPRESSION IS A DISEASE

AND IT'S DEADLY

I KNOW

BECAUSE AT ONE POINT IN MY LIFE

I SUFFERED FROM IT MYSELF

 I HID AWAY FROM THE WORLD

INSTEAD OF SEEKING HELP

AND IT WAS THE WORST THING I COULD HAVE DONE

IT LASTED FOR 2 YEARS

2 YEARS THAT I WILL NEVER GET BACK

AND THOUGH I CAME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE

TOO MANY - FAR TOO MANY 

DO NOT

HEARING THIS YESTERDAY 

BROUGHT SO MUCH OF IT BACK

THAT IT TERRIFIED ME

BE WELL MY FRIENDS

ALL MY LOVE

I LOVE silver leafed furniture !

Good morning everyone !

I've always wanted to silver leaf a piece of furniture but haven't got around to it - back in the day I did a few ornate frames but furniture seemed to be a little overwhelming - after visiting a friend on the weekend and seeing this ( I SO want this piece ) it's made me ( somewhat ) determined to give this a try in the not so distant future.............

What do you think ( this one's pretty elaborate - I couldn't do the artwork on it )
I've never been into anything Chinoiserie - but for some reason I'm incredibly intrigued by it - this is such a perfect example of it, no?

I know it's not for everyone - but I find this piece stunning!

Check out her headboard !!!

I could so see this becoming a new obsession if I did one piece - I'd probably end up gold leafing the house
( wouldn't an accent wall be spectacular - maybe I'll do it to the plank wall LMHO )

We didn't end up finishing the plank wall btw - an emergency came up - such as the kids arrived at the back fence to spend the day by the pool - and we couldn't very well excuse ourselves and take the hour it would have taken to actually finish what we started - because that would have just been plain rude, don't you think?

And I spent 4 hours at the hairdressers on Saturday getting my hair streaked and cut - I love my hairdresser and I've missed her soooo much - ( so did my hair )
I'll show you a photo but I had to do a little photoshopping because..........................
every time I see a photo of myself I see a cantelope growing where my nose used to be - seriously - I'm starting to look like Karl Maldon - remember him?

He was such a great actor - with a horrible nose
and I can only say that because we have a lot in common
I'm a great actress ( I really am ! ) with a horrible nose

If anyone has photo's of themselves that they'd like me to photoshop for them - drop me a line - I'd be more than happy to help you out - because I get it - I can photo shop any part of your face but I definitely specialize in noses.

( my hair looked great for one night - it was straightened - then I jumped in the pool ) good-bye silken locks..............hello bleached straw )  but I have bangs again - forehead wrinkles be gone !!! )  I may let them grow long enough to cover my nose now that I think of it.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone - I pinky swear I will have either the pink and white hutch or the plank wall completed for tomorrow - or GASP - maybe the guest room !!!

Much love,
Nosey.......................
A.K.A.
