I have flu – you’re not going to get to see the second trio of wardrobes until Friday…
But I found something beautiful for you – Morning Glories by Suzuki Kiitsu. This is a detail from a room screen that you can see here…
love,
Janice
p.s. Have you had your flu vaccination? I’ve been jabbed, but have succumbed anyway…
Oh Janice! I hope you feel better.
I did have a flu shot, but then myself and my daughter caught the flu in December. It was horrible – I haven’t been sick like that in at least 10 years.
I look forward to seeing the remaining wardrobes as soon as you are up to it but do take the time to feel better…..no rush!
Get well soon.
So sorry to hear you’re sick. The flu vaccine is always a guess based on previous years. Rest, hot tea, and comfy clothes are best.
I like the colors in the screen very much.
Speedy recovery!
Try this link https://www.metmuseum.org/perspectives/articles/2021/5/japan-rinpa-school-screens you can see this screen in context with the history of these art works. Would make a lovely wardrobe using the gold for the accessories (jewellery, belts, shoes, hair clips and bands).
Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Janice – Thinking many healthy thoughts in your direction!
Julie – Thanks for sharing that link! The detail on all three screens is fascinating!
Oh, no, Janice! Get well soon! The flu is no fun.
Take care, drink lots of fluids. I hope you feel better soon!
Get well soon
I hope someone brings some soup to you. If I was still there I would make some for you.
Tell Andre I said he should get some soup for you.
I love the colors and will look it up thanks.
If I tell Andre I need soup, he will bring me a vat of it!
hugs,
Janice
Hope you feel better soon. Elderflower cordial with ginger and also Echinacea are good at reducing symptoms. Don’t worry about us. We have plenty of Archives to look at. I might even start decluttering or sorting by capsules…..
Feel better soon! Beautiful picture, too.
P.S. Saw a news report on this artist earlier in the week. Hope you have time to view the beautiful work at https://sistergolden.com/.
Still we do g get better soon wishes.
Sending, lol,
Sympathizer with sore throat here! Hope the wretched flu goes away soon….in the meantime, Beth T is right, Archives! I’m only in 2017.
So sorry to hear you are unwell. I am in my third week of feeling rubbish as is my sister and daughter. Hope you shake it off quicker than us. Sending 💗
Oh what rotten luck ! I hope you recover soon 🙏❤️
Take care of yourself, and as much time as you need.
Yes, best wishes for a speeding recovery. Beth T, I actually love elderflower cordial mixed w/ I think it’s 7-up? Not sure. The place my friends and I go to for lunch once a month has it as a non-alcoholic drink. Order it every time. The ginger sounds like a nice addition. Also love ginger. Anyway – great minds – like some of the others above, I pulled up the decluttering articles yesterday, but work was busy and I didn’t get around to them. I think it would help tons if I could make up my mind and limit my colors. And I still have a horrible time w/green, having olive and true green and sage green and seemingly unable to part with any of them. Have never had a flue shot, and don’t even remember the last time I had the flu. Considering I work in a middle school I guess that makes me extremely fortunate. Have a good day ladies, Janice feel better soon, and look forward to next post
I also love green: dark, sage, blue-green, olive, turquoise, petrol,… and I couldn’t part with any of them.
This week I’ll be photographing my clothing capsules again,
I’m also recovering from Covid.
And Janice, get well soon.
Sheila, I have a nephew~in-law who said the same thing. Never had the flu shot, never get the flu…..until this year. He was sick for 3 weeks and lost 15 pounds and missed all the Christmas festivities. Janice will likely recover much quicker and her symptoms will be less severe having gotten vaccinated. That’s what we all hope and pray for anyway!
Hope you feel better soon x
We had our flu shots after having chad it a couple of times in the past. We then came down with the Noravirus stomach flu at our house the week between Christmas and New Year. It has been miserable and made us much sicker than a regular stomach bug. Flu is awful, feel better, and do get as much rest as possible.
Janice, I’m so sorry you’re sick! I had both my COVID and flu vaccines in early October…I succumbed to COVID in November and the flu over Christmas. I hope you feel much better soon…this is no fun for you.
Please get well soon.
Janice, wishing you better days!
This outbreak appears to be everywhere! We had it, too, adding in a few cases of bronchitis!
Personally, I think they figured badly on this bug!
Rest well and recover quickly.
My hubby has Covid again w flu like symptoms.
We miss you.

So sorry you’re suffering with the flu, Janice. My husband and I both got flu, COVID and RSV shots in October. He got sick with a virus before Christmas and I got it before New Year’s Eve. We both had coughing fits. Not fun. The doctor he saw said there are a hundred different viruses going around this year! Stay hydrated. I agree that the archives are a wealth of information!
Oh, so sorry! Not a great start to the year, but it can only get better from this point! This is why I never get the flu shot. Feel better soon! Oh, I love the morning glories, so cheerful!
Hope you’re on the mend soon!
The morning glories are so lovely. Thank you for thinking of us. Now take care of yourself – wishing you a speedy recovery.
So sorry, Janice! Hope you feel better soon. I don’t ever get the flu shot because I feel it’s a crap shoot as to whether they get the strain right. I have stayed up to date on Covid shots though. Plus I’m still masking in public. So far, I’ve stayed healthy.
We’ve been jabbed for Covid, flu and RSV, any and everything. No sign of illness so far. Hope you recover quickly. Rest and hydrate and meds for symptom relief.
What a stunning painting! I look forward to your recovery and brilliant wardrobe ideas.
We got all the jabs, but I guess there’s a flu variant that wasn’t covered in the “blend” for this year. At least I don’t have COVID…
hugs,
Janice
Oh but the screen is stunning…this is going to be worth the wait! Get well soon.
Get well- your collections and focus on beautiful art are a highlight in the mornings for me! Thank you.
I’m sorry to say that you probably had the flu because of the jab. I had a flu shot 30 years ago and it made me so sick, I swore “never again”. I’ve rarely had the flu since, and treating myself with natural remedies as soon as I get the first signs. Hope you get better soon.
Feel Better soon. Change your pillow case. Change your toothbrush. (until you are better keep “sterilizing” the one you are using. I boil water and then immediately dunk mine.) Don’t kiss Hubby. I swear by Elderberry and Vitamin C. I don’t get the flu but have had bronchitis many times.
May we all be well and happy. The wonderful information about this Japanese screen states that it was painted during an era of relative peace. May we live in such an era. “I wear robes with well-worn hems” is part of a beautiful quote from the article as well. I pulled out a tote of Japanese art and decor to entertain my soul while I recover from a double whammy of shingles and a cold. MAY WE ALL BE WELL AND HAPPY. Blessings to Janice for this special forum.
JC – this is lovely! Thank you so much…
love,
Janice
Viruses have been rampant this season. Hope you feel better soon!
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love the art, thanks for sharing, made me smile.
Take good care. Get lots of rest and fluids. Love your posts.
Feel better soon! You should have immunity now!
PS. That screen was sooooo beautiful!
UGH!! I am so sorry to hear you have had the flu! No fun at all.
I LOVE the colors of the screen. Any possibility you could work up a wardrobe with the screen as an inspiration?
Feel better soon!
