A SPRING POEM FOR YOU

'Nature's First Green is Gold' a variation of
Robert Frost's 'Nature's first spring is gold
by llania Cyaala

Springtime's first green in cold,
Her subtlest hue to hold,
Her morning song's the flower,
But only so one hour.
Then colors by colors surrender,
So Eden lost her splendor.
So sunlight turns to moonlight,
Her gold will be gone by night.

HAPPINESS

H A P P I N E S S

You deserve it! You can find it in the small things, in your home.

You can do small things everyday, that will bring a bit of HAPPINESS to you.

Ideas:

- make your bed early in the morning.  You will find that when you walk into your bedroom if the bed is made, it will give YOU a HAPPY feeling.
try it.

- Please tell me a small thing you do everyday that gives you a HAPPY feeling. Maybe we can all learn from each other.

- One thing that I do everyday, is my cup of tea with honey, and a small candle. HAPPINESS

WHAT IS YOURS?

You have been thinking about HAPPINESS, routines, rituals, in your BUSY life.

You are the best!!!

You are the best friends, you follow me, you accept my mistakes, and you keep reading my blog. Kudos to all of you, blessings, to all of you, the followers make a blog.
Yesterday, you read about the Queen of SHABBY CHIC, Rachel Ashwell, I just love her prints, thou I cannot afford them, sometimes they are on sale at Targets, but they are too high for me.
You, can take the ideas of her many rooms, and get the same look
FOR LESS, this should be your motto, everything beautiful for free, or very very cheap.

Example:

Imagine it came from an expensive California flea or antique store, it has the white, the pale roses and is very shabby, this is very old china, vintage, and looks alike hers.

Again, your motto:  style, vintage, shabby for less money.

Please comment if you like the plates, you will win a platter just like the plates on my next giveaway  WOW

NEW FINDS

Hello dear friends:

It is a sunny Monday, very cold for Spring.  I found a beautiful French Majolica jardiniere. It is from the famous St. Clement's factory in Northern France, of course its handmade, and handpainted. My camera doesn't do justice to the piece. I'm enjoying it in my home, of course its so beautiful, I love looking at the piece it is a rare find, just imagine, one plate from St. Clement is very very expensive.This was a estate sale, and the woman had a lot of collectables from Europe. i love the colors of the jardiniere, and it reminds me that soon Spring will be here.

See you all tomorow, I will have an exciting giveaway KEEP LOOKING I'm working with another blogger, she has some beautiful giveaways for Mother's day, however, mine is coming very soon.

love
