I love, love, love hurache sandals. I’m actually starting to see them in the stores again. Woohoo!

The painting is very nice. Turned out quite well. Wish I had that talent, but in our family it went from my father to my brother and never thought about me. lol

Hey Regina! I just wanted to share with you that I own the bike you painted here. =) It’s so cute and I love it! Call me if you ever want to go for a ride!

I’m just the same when it comes to riding a bike, i would be scared on the road but you kinda feel in the way on the pavement. Some of our roads have proper cycle paths but i think i would still feel vaunerable. Nice peices both of them. The drink sounds interesting, i’ve just had iced coffee in the garden it’s finally cooling down, phew!

I love that bike in your painting! I want one just like it

I am terrified of riding on the streets too, so I stick to the bike trails & sidewalks around here. (Luckily there are lots of trails to ride on!) Of course this means that I never ride my bike for practical reasons (like to the store), but I do ride it just for enjoyment (and I walk to the store instead).

You know Regina, I felt the exact same way about riding my bike in Tucson. Then when E gave me that sweet old blue Schwinn my feelings changed. Maybe because I sit comfortably, maybe because E is such a protector that I think he put protective salts on the it, or maybe because I love the bicycle so much that I am slightly high every time I ride it, I just settled into riding it and feel much like the feeling of your painting. The painting makes me happy because of that exactly. Even in scary Tucson I feel relaxed on it. I hope someday you get to ride happily too. Maybe if you get a cruiser we can cruise around together–on low traffic streets, in decent temperatures.
Please let me know if you make prints of that painting, I would LOVE to buy one. …or two…

Congrats on snagging awesome, comfy shoes on Etsy! Also, I’m with you about riding bikes, though we do live in a real biking friendly community so I ought to just get on out there with my hubby (who is becoming an avid biker).

Would you consider driving your bike to a bike friendly park?

I love your pink bicycle. The older I get, the more afraid of traffic I become.

What a great bench! And the shoes are adorable! Congrats on your great find!

LOVE your bicycle painting. I am lucky to live in a small town with a dedicated biketrail (a former railroad track). Biking is the only exercise I enjoy… well, I like dancing too, because that doesn’t feel like exercise!)
But I would be afraid to ride on main roads!

Your pics are lovely, those tiles are gorgeous, and I had huraches too, in college. They look good with just about everything!
