It is time to smell the roses
and the pine...
(click photos to enlarge)
I love the combination...
With Christmas Eve only a week away,
it's time to fill my house with fragrance..
It's the icing on the cake...
I built a traveling centerpiece
on a silver tray...
Perfect to keep close by
through all the activities of the weekend...
I tucked mercury glass votives in
among the bits of pine,
warming and freeing its scent...
The beauty of roses and candlelight
may seem cliche...
But really it can't be beat...
The ethereal glow
a place to find quiet peace....
Before the rush of last minute holiday chores...
Don't forget to take time
to smell the roses :-)
Tonight I am joining...
Beverly for PINK SATURDAY
and
Hakan for SATURDAY SHOW OFF
Thanks for sharing a quiet moment with me tonight..

Bella, you design the most romantic vignettes
and I can only imagine how wonderful the roses and pine smell together.
The mercury votives are pretty with their flickering reflections against the silver tray.

Hello Bella... how very beautiful!... Pink roses are my very favorite..."happiness, gentleness and gracefulness"... I know it isn't even Christmas yet, but I am already looking forward to Spring and my roses in my gardens... your little tray is so pretty, I love the little votives with the pine, so soft and lovely!... xoxo Julie Marie
I love the smell of both these myself. That is why we always had a real tree for the smell.
So Beautiful Bella,
I LOVE mauve flowers, I seem to always be adding something mauve to my gardens! These roses and the silver tray are exquisitely beautiful and it must smell like heaven!
Happy Holidays to you and yours,
Hugs, Donna
They are beautiful! I can't wait to make my centerpiece! I love all the "bling" in your arrangement! Have a wonderful weekend!
So beautiful! Makes me miss my garden all the more. Merry Christmas to yoU!
Dearest Bella,
Roses always fit in, there doesn't need to be an excuse for having them! The Queen of flowers pairs nicely for the Feast of the Prince of Peace!
Enjoy your Christmas season.
