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!!!

Hearts a Flutter

It's definitely the time of year when our hearts turn to Valentine's, hearts, chocolate, roses, LOVE!!! There is nothing as wonderful as sharing our love. As the song and saying goes, "Love isn't love, 'til you give it away.'  May we all find new ways to give our love away!

~with love, Tanya

For a Sunday

 A Sunday thought...

Soft & Dreamy

Soft and dreamy.

There are times in life for bold, bright, contrast-- just as there are times for soft and dreamy. Isn't it just like the seasons? All are beautiful in their own way and time.

Soft and dreamy makes my heart peaceful. It makes me happy yet serene. There is the moment when you see it that it speaks 'ahhhh' and turns your heart to a gentler manner.

Pink lace. Knitted Estonian Lace to be more exact. Light and airy with it's identifying feature of the Nupp (pronounced like 'soup') The bobble creates texture in an otherwise very open and airy lace fabric.

Enjoy a bit of pink- airy- dreams today! Let your heart soften and dream.

Happiness Catalyst

A happiness catalyst.

Finding things that are simple yet in unexpected places can truly alter our brain circuitry and allow us to have more happiness. It doesn't necessarily make life's problems disappear, but it can and does make life more happy and connect us to things deeper than our regular daily doings.

I love crochet. Especially antique crochet, well actually almost any crochet! There is such a rich heritage and detail work that I adore. Whenever I see it, wherever I see it, it makes my 'heart-song' happier. I share with you two small moments today from my happiness catalyst.  It's all around us... it truly is.
