Mellow Yellow
























Please allow me to introduce you to my dear friend, Mrs.Blandings.   She keeps a lovely tidy blog full of wit, whimsy and charm regarding love of decor, design and architecture and a friendship of all things yellow. Fate has brought us together, though we have actually never even met in person.  She is a dear one, bringing me into her home, showing me her latest projects from A to Z.    Often she seeks good counsel which humbles me.
Her daily words speak to me, the love of raising sons and being a good citizen while steadily balancing a home, and a blog, (and a dog with an itch)!  Her collective canvas runs deep, as she is an avid needle pointer and a love of rare finds from horns to spheres.  She is never sardonic, but quick witted, yes, honest and straightforward, right around the bend and down that lane. Her approach to life is a clever, one born of good stock and rock solid.  She has brought me to laughter as well as to tears.
Surely you must have met her selecting just the right shade of yellow in the hardware store.
Now, be a dear and tell me that you know her.  If not, you really should, I know you would get along famously.  She has been a dear to me and posted so many of my illustrations inspired by her mellow yellow world.  
Now, please leave a comment, a limerick, a riddle or a recipe for dear Mrs. Blandings.  I must go check the "roast" in the oven for I smell something burning.  Be a good citizen and leave a word or two for the dear.   She deserves a good roast served with some fresh "dijon" mustard and clever side dish or a tip about apples, especially macs.

Hey Patricia,

Thanks for introducing me to Mrs. Blandings. You know I love her blog and stop by often for inspiration.

Patricia - I'm swamped with a million projects that I have no idea how I inherited. Oh, wait, I keep forgetting to say no. You will never know what a treat this was for me to find this little present here today. Thank you, dear friend, for the kind words - they were just the thing.

I'll check out her blog right now. I love yellow in home decorating, and when I was a teeanger I insisted my room have yellow wallpaper...

Mrs. Blandings is a favorite. The stories of her boys and her beautiful home and husband bring a lot of warmth to the sometimes superficial world of "pretty things". And she is hysterically funny too.
