Glorious Easter and Spring

Happy Easter and spring is here!

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it...

Bunnies anticipating glorious spring.

Spring is a time for freshness, renewal and hope.

My heart sings with joy for spring and a time to ponder and reflect as well as to spring forward with hope. May you and your loved ones enjoy a wonderful Easter Sunday and find love to share.

Just because...

because the world can never have too many perfect flowers.
because today is a good day to look at some thing beautiful.
because keeping it simple is great advice.
because I wish you a wonderful Friday filled with simplicity and beauty.

Feeling Lemony

I'm in a lemon yellow mood today. After crocheting this vintage reproduction potholder, I was feeling sort of yellow.  Have you ever felt like a color? 

 Of course feeling lemony means homemade lemon curd in a pretty jar and tied with a ribbon.

Lemon with multiple layers and dimension.

How fortunate I was a couple weeks ago to find this thrift store book find. Don't you just love it when your thrift-find meets all and more of your expectations?! I've never not found a good book at the thrift store though! Yes, I love books.

Baked from scratch lemon scones. A good recipe to make up and keep some in the freezer to have on hand to bake when you're feeling Lemony!  Just enough to set out and enjoy this afternoon.

I hope your day was lemony too!

Do It Now

A Sunday post. Do it Now. This little perfect frame has a few little blue birdies on it to remind me of some thing very important. Do it now. How often we want to procrastinate or put off doing things that could either lead us to greater joy or help someone else along this path of life. Life is busy. We are busy, but there is such great wisdom in a simple thought.

Found this treasure at a local thrift shop. Such a beautiful piece and the sunshine was gracing it this morning so I just had to take a photo. A lovely find for mere pennies but the platter is so beautiful right now- even with nothing on it- except for the sunshine.

 This is my sky today out my front window. I believe right now is a perfect time to take it all in. I'm going to Do It Now.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Sunlit Sunday

Wisp of hearts

Light as air and soft as a cool breeze.

Our hearts are thought of on this Valentine's Day.  Those we love, loved, and yet to be loved.

 Today is a day for memories, hope, and dreams.

Hearts as soft as a wisp of wind on a winters day with the hope and promise of the perfection only achieved by something greater than us.

May your hearts be happy, softened and full of promise.

Cupid & Valentine's

Valentines.
A week ahead of Valentines, Love, Roses, Friends and Romance.

Taking time to enjoy things.

Notice the simple details in life.

 A special thank you to Kadee from Kadee Willow who mailed me a wonderful Valentines last week. We met through Vicki's Grow Your Blog party.  This cupid has become a piece I love and treasure. What a wonderful new friend Kadee has become. Her gift package was so thoughtful and her attention to detail was beautiful. Notice the package how it's sewn and buttoned!  She included an old photograph of a lady probably from the turn-of-the-century (last century that is!) The name on the back of the photo is Maude. We don't know who Maude is but I send her Valentine's wishes too. The gift box was a treasure Kadee! Thank you.

and Happy Valentine's to all of you as well!

A bed full of Roses...

Life is a bed of roses! 

Oh wait! Did I mention it's a bed of roses or some times we have to make our own bed of roses!

Yes, we definitely some times have to assist to make life a bed of roses! It doesn't just come that way does it?!

White and pink roses are welcome in my life any day of the week or time of year! 

Wonderful roses to inspire and beautify our world. Life can be a bed of roses!!!
