Never Never Land...

Eternal youth, ships, flying, and fairies
...and of course a humble thimble







"You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always think of you."
-Peter Pan

By the sea, by the sea...

What else could a girl want?? The beach... hammocks, and 1950's fashion? I'm in love, how 'bout you?

And then there was Yellow..

I'm in a love affair with yellow... which is nothing really new, I have always loved the happy 'sunshiney' color... but I'm especially infatuated with it at the moment.

I LOVE these stockings!

Happy Thursday everyone!

A New Day...

Well,

My fellow bloggers.... I apologize for disappearing for over two weeks, but medical issues arose and I had to go to the hospital. When one is forced to be in a hospital for two weeks, you realize the beauty in every small detail... the flowers outside in the garden,
the soft blanket on your bed...

the solitude of coffee in the morning during sunrise.

If there is any absolute in life it is that of a new day. A tree's branch that has fallen, will precede the growth of another... the water that has dried on the ground will eventually be filled by rain,

the heart and all its deep red leaves, will grow like fire.

{Let's Go Fly a Kite...}


If this is a prayer, then let it be heard- and if it's a poem, let it be shared. But whatever the situation, a new day is always in order... this I know.

I'm glad to be home!

Peep Show

Well,

these past couple of weeks I was away from my computer (more detail above), and I so desperately wanted to post my Easter finds... better late than never:)

As always I try to find new ways of sprucing up hot chocolate... it is good year round in my eyes. Simply place fake moss or green of your choice on saucer, and cup on top. Place a peep in the hot chocolate and you'll have an extra sweet something for Easter... (something to think about for next year, aye?)

And a proper basket is always in order...

Hope your Easter was wonderful!
