To Rose


As I ponder the words set forth with pen and paper (or should I say fingers to keyboard) I  often contemplate if they are worthy of such a worldly space...



There are  artists that gift us with their creativity, others that take us on a tour of their beautiful homes and countryside, some who explore the sorrows of life...



It is an ever changing world in which we dwell especially amongst the people we know...

In this tiny corner of my daily life I try to share simplicity, serenity and contentment...

I bumped into a darling acquaintance the other day who in the past few months has been to hell and back. During that time she told me she enjoyed reading my blog...

This is a woman whose exquisite quilting causes one's heart to flutter. A simplicity in life where needle and thread unite with fabric to give her solace during difficult times...




It is to you Rose I dedicate this post, grateful though not often enough I share a little piece of paradise...

  5. Mid Winter blessings to you Susan and to Rose xx. We are all so lucky to have each other, and we build the world around us and fill it with our own and each others tiny sparkly pieces. Rose has beautifully shown you that your sparkly pieces are just as much treasured, and so beautiful xxxx

  11. Susan...what a lovely heart you have! As I read this I thought of how this post will bring a smile to Rose and let her know how truly you care for her friendship. What a gift you have given today...and not just to Rose.

    I do sell my hearts in a little shop near here when I finally get around to making them :)))
