embracing elegance

i found this exquisite painting while flitting through Mum's beauty-filled folder, does anyone know the artist?


& a home


entreating light to prevail


im particularly fond


of the curved walls!
Today smiles!!!

painting the days

our days,
a sequence of events,
mostly familiar scenarios,


but we are painting growth,
imperceptible moments of character formed


then one day, the child is grown...beauty forged by choices courageously built & values striven to maintain

Today the sun shone!!!

my favourite painting by Monet:

~i was in the line at the servo today{gas station}, & shook my head in sadness & hung my head as i walked past the "unmentionable magazines". when i had a tiny thought that i was glad they were "at least away from the counter", i chided myself & thought, "why must they stock them at all?"


i am glad for this lovely magazine, rich with heirloom treasures...



gliding songbirds


pretty paisley


& a needle box

Today home is where the heart is!

Velvet Skies

"Bring me all your dreams,
You dreamers...
Bring me all your Heart Melodies
That i may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world."
~Langston Hughes~

some velvet dreams...
~moments of friendship that sparkle long after they were lit
~soft pink rose petals
~the paintings of Kandinsky{because you can see the orchestra & hear the harmony} particularly The Riding Couple(pictured above)a fav!
~"smiles come to those that weep" a quote full of hope
~antique needlepoint tapestries on thick stone walls
~snow upon the lillies
~dancing in the moonlight{yet to be experienced}

Today my heart thinks in gentle coloured whispers
