Your comments on my previous post about our Mexican writing retreat (with 8 other people) made me laugh (where appropriate), feel happy, and generally enjoy having you all in my Virtual Salon here.

Here is a wonderful article about the guy here who made my magical rings, David Godinez. (Backstory: All my life I've wanted to wear massive rings - ( Read more... )

What an exciting post. I was wondering when I read your last post if it was San Miguel de Allende where you were staying. (I lived in Mexico City for several years and know the country pretty well.) Lovely pictures and what a wonderful place to write. And a novel, of course, is fabulous news. Those rings are fantastic. I love big rings myself. Always have.

Ooo! Love the rings!

The colors in Mexico are just divine, aren't they?

My mother loved large, gaudy, attention-grabbing rings. I never saw her with fewer than three rings on, often more. She would have liked those designs very much.

I love them, too, but can't wear them, or really wear rings of any kind. They just don't look good on my hands. But I love to admire them!

Those are some fantastic rings!

And those pictures are very lovely and yes, cheerful. I love the flowers, and the pink and salmon colors!

Perhaps someday you will find Your Rings. They may not be what you're expecting....

The colours in the second photo are just gorgeous! But what struck me is that I remember seeing a photo of the fountain in a courtyard quite similar to this one a while back. And lo, while checking my flist, I saw that Holly Black has uploaded a picture in her LJ some time ago. It looks like such a lovely place. *sighs*

You have good eyes!

And you should believe everything Holly says about writing retreats in the post before that one.

I want to step into that fountain picture and just bask. We aren't having the horrible winter others are but Oregon in February is not for the faint of heart. (When the 2 year old Golden looks at you like you've lost your mind for asking if she needs to go outside it's not a good sign.)
