... feeling rather shabby ..........

perhaps it is the white dusting we just had

or the 14° when I got up this morning

or the warm fire in the stove 

I was just in the mood to create something

cozy, comforting, homey

I am not really what you would call

shabby chic style 

but there is a sense of country rustic about it

I do love

the lace, the tatters, the vintage 

like it could be a treasure from my grandmother's trunk

Entwined Souls Keepsake Wristlet Clutch

two trees
a portion of your soul has been
entwined with mine
a gentle kind of togetherness, while
separately we stand
as two trees deeply rooted in
separate plots of ground
while their topmost branches
come together
forming a miracle of lace
against the heavens
♦.. Janet Mills

Pink Kiss Mini Clutch

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it 
(anywhere I go you go,

my dear and whatever is done by only me is your doing,

my darling)
~. e.e. cummings

the sun is shining

the sky is blue

it may be freezing out there

but it is going to be a good day

Happy Friday!!
