Romance...

 

 Romance is the Glamour

which turns the dust of everyday life

into a Golden Haze...

 

Carolyn Gold Heilbrun

 

Dried Roses...

 



 

pretty old poetry books...

 



a fragile glass heart...

Love...

 



 

on this,

the most Romantic Day of the Year...

 

I will be spending the day

in the Golden Haze

of my Garden...

 

with my sweet Mr.

 

building a garden together,

is the most romantic thing

I can imagine...

 



Happy Valentines Day to You!

The First Flower of Spring....

Snopwdrops

are said to be the first flower of Spring...

 

 

even though it is really just past Mid-Winter,

and that Groundhog

 says we have six more weeks of cold to bear...

 

my Snowdrops are in full bloom...

 

and

they are just as cheery

 as can be...

 



 

in the spirit of Spring,

I decided to dress up a small

glass milk jug...

 

bits of lace

and scraps of ribbon...

 

 

a Sweetheart brooch

at it's throat...

 

it feels perfectly whimsical to me

and a nice escape from dull Wintry Days....

 

I can't wait to have Roses

for my

new shabby vase....

 

a close-up of the flowers lovely details,

usually hidden

by it's drooping head...

 



 

 

 

Sending Warm Hugs

and

Spring Thoughts Your Way....

Sweet Tea...

I am a firm believer,

in finding the Sweetness in Life...

 

 

taking the time for,

small moments

and simply things...

with

Valentines Day coming,

it feels like things should be Extra Sweet...

 



so I brought out

 my Limoges Tea Cup....

 

because,

I find those Painted Roses

Irresistibly Sweet...

 



 

taking the time

 to treat yourself to an afternoon nosh...

 

Sweet...

 



I find vintage bone dishes to be perfect

for holding a few cookies...

 

some Pretty Pink Primroses

made there way home from the market with me today...

 

destined for the front porch planter,

they made a brief stop

at my tea table today...

 



 

 

Sweet Day to You My Friends...
