WW: Raphell Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Woman Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens


"As we give love, so shall we receive love.
As we give strength, so shall we receive strength."
- Raphell Sims Lakowitz

This beautiful fountain sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi memorializes Raphell Sims Lakowitz, from whose loving leadership flowed a new way of helping mental health patients. Stroll through more of my Brookgreen Gardens photos or better yet, visit South Carolina yourself!

    A really interesting sculpture in that its beauty is so lifelike rather than an attempt to stylize, or idealize.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free.

The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand.
