A gorgeous gift.
Some day I will bring out those calligraphy pens again.
And practice, practice.

Truly Magnificent.
Another floral photo I took in Paris last September.
Final day in Paris, something I ran across this morning. My back had finally given out and I reclined on a stone bench while my sister-in-law went in to Monoplix and I looked straight up and saw this. Perfect. Done.

I love these fuchsia finds and your photos from Paris. Absolutely lovely and just what was needed on this gray Monday!
ReplyDeleteDearest Sande,
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The funniest thing is I had a dream just last night that an old friend/neighbor of mine who I so seldom see anymore knocked on my door and handed me a large fushia box and tied with a black ribbon!!! I didn't remember this dream until I read your post...I think I will call her today:) Thanks for this beautiful post as always~

So much pretty. The type on the books is amazing. That would be a lovely gift for anyone!
ReplyDeleteFucshia is the second non-primary color I taught Amelia (second to aqua) and she has been able to identify this colour for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteMonday, while standing in the check out line at the supermarket, a woman was talking back and forth with Amelia and asked Amelia "What color is your sweater?" When Amelia paused and then replied "Fuschia" The lady looked at me, raised her eyebrows and said "Mommy, you're doing a good job with her."
Needless to say, the color fuschia reminds me of my little sponge who is ready to learn anything.

ReplyDeleteSO beautiful and energetic! Pinks and fushias are all about fun. I'm glad you are keeping your promise to your son about not dressing up the dog . . I don't think he'll notice. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm not normally a fan of fuschia - but you may be changing my mind - such beautiful shots - all!! I've been threatening to take out the calligraphy pens as well - that invite is gorgeous!!

That is so interesting , and unusual type of post. I was just lost in the rich colors of the pictures, specially in your pink theme. Also the sky is looking so deep and so inspiring in the last picture. Amazing sharing dear

ReplyDeleteevery image is divine, but the pug/bunny endears me. i'm partial to those pug-nosed beauties...my sweet little 14 year old puglet is snoring in my lap as i (try) to type.
