Giulia the Cheeky has ordered up this room (or similar) & we are to refer to her as GG the Great, Grand Poobah. Just what is the remedy for feline megalomania? [room interior via miss wallflower, via we heart it]
Not technically, no. But the glow of these carvings is sometimes rosy, sometimes more terracotta/sepia, depending on the incoming light & time of day. No matter when, they are so beautiful. Photograph by only alice who is so talented & generous.
For Anna at Mit Herz und Hand, who would like to go to Morocco. GG's editor is called elsewhere today. Enjoy. Visit some of our favorite sites on the page, especially Darfur Peace & Development Organization (DPDO). Visit Anna, too, & encourage her Moroccan musings.... Would you like to go? Have you? Either way, what are some of your favorite things about Morocco (& Moroccans)? We love to hear about everyone's experiences...even if we don't get to your comment right away, we will. (photographs by the charming & generous only alice)
Listen to the rain (it is here anyway), work, read, rest, meditate, & think of the calm Musée de Marrakesh. These lovely photographs are only alice's. Most we've used are fabulous-with-color; these are the cool, blue-gray, serene flip-side. Wouldn't you just love to spend the day here? (Here's a link to their website, it's quite nice.) We would...for GG would surely be allowed in, so sophisticated & charming is she. We'll be back every day this week with photographs & to take the odd comment or two, but already the week is, well, cluttered. Is it too much to hope that someone will show up with a tagine full of goodies? Probably. So we'll be cooking, too. Perhaps some of our friends will come up with variations on recipes that we've not tried, or not made in a long while....hint. 
Cats, orange cats, everywhere we look. We're already running late & like the idea of tossing the errand list & ambling around with this cat, through & past patterned tiled walls. Back later! ciao-salaam-meow/GGCM (photographs by the terrific only alice)
Good morning. Busy day. Photographs from only alice's Moroccan set. Would love, love, love to be there right now.
...not the flowers. Rose, glowy pinks, dusty pinks. North African pink that goes well with oranges, greens, blues--actually anything. They're geniuses with color. From only alice's Marrakesh sets. She's added more colors for which we are grateful. The window/door/wall & color fixation continues. (And so does the laundry.)
Take off your shoes (or slippers) & relax for a bit. It's Friday. Love Morrocan (& other North African) traditional shoes & babouches Those colors, wow. GG, of course, would need two custom-made pair for paw pads. She might not wear them but they're art, no? Now for the color decisions....Another photo by only alice. We're so happy she went to Morocco!
It reminds us of only alice's photo, that's all, & we liked the coincidence.
Orange. We love it but have little time to put in clever quotes, think of a poem, or anything else. For some wonderful images & a drawing, read Sunday's Small Expectations post "Because I love carrot cake." If you don't laugh out loud, you must need some chocolate (& a slice of carrot cake). Also, we've had some fun this weekend looking at How About Orange. 
We're indulging GG here. (here? always!) She alleges a shortage of kitties on this week's page. These two cuties from only alice's Marrakesh portfolio. Her title? allow me this one cute leetle kittin picture. Absolutely!
All credit to Lori Langille of automatism for the discovery of gorgeous shots from Marrakesh (or Marrakech, if you prefer) by only alice, an Edinburgh-based photographer. Here is Lori's post The Colours of Marrakesh. Alice has lovely shots, more of which we will publish soon. But we're not feeling quite well & this lovely photograph sums up social life in Morocco (& Tunisia with which we are quite familiar, too) & also makes us feel better. Mint tea, anyone? Yes, please. Visit Alice's online portfolio, here. And of course, Lori, a collage artist, here.
