Give Yourself Flowers
Posted by Irene Turner in Color, Nature, Personal Style & Well being on April 12, 2011
What is it about Spring that makes me want to run out and buy flowers? I mean, it’s not like our winters here in Northern California are particularly harsh or grey…well maybe grey, but also emerald green. Never the less, every spring I want to fill my garden with blooms, and place them all over my house! They simply make me happy.
Flowers can be:
- as elaborate as a banquet arrangement
via George V in Paris
- multiple arrangements in one room
- a simple as a single bud in a vase Continue reading “Give Yourself Flowers” »
A Beautiful Bodega Bay Beach Break!-via Santa Rosa Design
Posted by Irene Turner in Inspiration, Nature, Personal Style & Well being on August 26, 2010
Running, running, running. It’s what I’ve been doing lately. So Monday, when I was out in Bodega Bay for a couple of meetings I found myself thinking…I need a break.

Iceland Volcano Eruption & Mother Nature-via Santa Rosa
Posted by Irene Turner in Nature on May 12, 2010
The devastating volcanic eruption(s) in Iceland which began last month and continue to this day are affecting the world at large. Because they are erupting underneath glaciers, they are not only sending smoke and ash into the air, but also melting the ice and causing flooding. All this brings new meaning to the phrase…”Don’t mess with Mother Nature”. And like a woman, she is beautiful in her wrath.

The Natural Design of a Woman
Posted by Irene Turner in Nature, Personal Style & Well being on March 18, 2010
As I move forward in my blogging process I will be introducing guest bloggers on topics I think relate to design and beauty. After all, isn’t good design a thing of beauty?
I met Audrey Cavenecia when she gave a very short talk on the natural design of a woman…WOW…did that resonate for me! I do believe there is a authentic design for all that is natural in our world. Why not for men and women? I love that she is not about women are great and men are not…but rather that we each have our own inherent design, as it is meant to be. And, when we operate according to how we are designed we will perform better, feel better and our world will therefore flow in a more natural way. Introducing Audrey Cavenecia. Pay attention…we will be seeing a lot more of her! Continue reading “The Natural Design of a Woman” »
The Art and Soul of Persia!
Posted by Irene Turner in Architecture, Art, Travel on February 23, 2010
There is a special beauty in traveling to a part of our world that is so different from our daily life that it transports us to another time and space. The many splendors of Persia, or Iran, have always held a fascination for me because of the exotic and rich nature of it’s ancient history. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to the wonders of Iran at an early age through the people. With my father entertaining Iranian clients in our home, to meeting my soul sister, an Iranian student and my college roommate, I saw their world through them.
Recently, over a glass of wine, vineyard owner and world traveler Ellen Mack, told me about her trip to Iran in 2008. Her obvious admiration for and appreciation of the beauty she saw inspired me to put together this post. Thanks to her for taking such fabulous photographs which truly show the Art and Soul of the Persian People! (click on “Full Screen” for best view)
