Cuties – California Clementines
What do I wear today? For me it can be a challenge, especially for those of you who know me well will attest to the fact that I am a fanatic for the easy essentials and ultimate comfort. Yup you guessed it… Adidas. Mainly all the way around, the shoes, the pants, the flattering zip up the front jacket. Do I *have* to dress up today, who’s coming to the gallery, what have I got going on…? Do I really need to keep apologizing for my backroom-casual-everyday-is-casual-day-wardrobe?
This morning was different, I needed to get to the gallery pronto but felt the need to dress more than sweat attire. I grabbed the first top I could grab in the closet (that was clean), an orange sporty zip up top and usual black pants. Not having time to grab a quick bite, I snatch up a couple of these little “California Cuties“, little compact cute as heck oranges with the E-Z Peel skin that makes it very easy to eat on the go.
Stopping at the Home Depot to exchange something – I felt as though people looking at me like I was some sort of source of instant information… oh yes, the orange shirt, yeah, well, ok. .. I blend. I quickly get my goods and dash out before getting bombarded with questions on caulking and sandpaper.
Driving into downtown Campbell, I see a few orange trees that are being pulled to the sidewalk by the clusters and clusters of oranges hanging on them, some have made an escape and have fallen to the ground. Darn, if I wasn’t in a such a hurry I would have pulled over and saved a few of those precious gems…
Orange ya Happy…?
I get into the gallery and it just sort of hit me that there is a theme happening here… some sort of citrus infused muse trying to tell me something.
Viola!
I immediately had our sales associate Andrew remove all of the front window display of the February themed *red* flavors and we were going to give this window a fresh facelift. It wasn’t hard to select a few paintings, watches, mini pop art and other orange infused artworks to make the window display look smashing!
It is the small things in life that I thrive on, the simple gesture of something small and thoughtful. A small juicy fruit on the way to a hectic day can in some odd way, dictate how the day will unfold. Inspiration comes and goes like a flash, it truly unpredictable and never knowing when it will surface can truly be a treat… in more ways than one! Now… orange *you* happy…?
