Tonight I have some favorites with a slight twist to tell you about.
The first is the sun setting from my view above the clouds, on my plane trip home from Los Angeles, through a dirty window. Still spectacular.
Second is my new pajamas. A "custom" set of capri pants with a short sleeved top from Print Fresh Pajamas. The thing is the short sleeved tops come with shorts but no capri pants. Unless you ask. Which I did, and they complied. How is that for great customer service.This print is called "camels courtyard", but I refer to them as "Midnight at the Oasis" as per the Maria Muldaur song from 1973.
Thirdly is a new for me plant. Tillandsia aka the airplant. Which actually does need water to grow, but no soil. Sister had one and I saw several tucked in interesting places on neighborhood walks with gardens. It might become my new favorite plant, strategically placed alongside some sea shells and dried American lotus heads?
New spins on old favorites. It keeps life interesting. Which is not essential, but does add a certain enjoyment to life.
P.S. for those of you who NEED to hear Midnight at the Oasis - here it is, in the original, no twist. Still catchy. If this isn't emblematic of the 1970's, I don't know what is. Peace, Love, and a whole lot of Tamborine.
I am going to NEED to know which of you remember this song fondly from "the day". I am picturing several of you in your hip hugger jeans, flowers in your hair. You know who you are.
Oh yes! I remember this song fondly.

Yesssss….bell bottom jeans, long hair parted down the middle, and loose-sleeved gauzy shirts. We had style!

Those pajamas rock!! Their prints are pretty special. Makes me think of the 50's but fresh and updated for today... which is as their name says.

So much happening while I was nursing my broken ankle! Love this song still. Is it sad that it is on one of my Spotify playlists???

I wasn't hitting the clubs in '73, but heard this song plenty growing up in the 70s and 80s. Those pajamas look amazing! xo

I love the pajamas so much I am going to ask them if they will do another custom combo for me! Perfect for the summer.
