Two posts in one day!  Off and running.
I am ready to introduce a new collection. This is the first piece.   I was inspired by a vintage item
I saw years ago in one of my Shabby Chic Books, by Rachel Ashwell. And then of course,
my daughter Caitlin's beautiful Light Shades!





A peaceful time of the day.



The calm of the evening.





Stop over to my shop to see more.
It is good to be back!

XO, 

Mary

Wishing you a Blessed Easter ~

Wishing you a Blessed Easter ~

The sun is out today and above freezing!  Progress that is.
AND I spied a small flock of Red Robins!  They are early I believe,
Good news to me for Spring surly must be arriving ahead of schedule!
Oh Pretty please!

THE ROBIN is the one
That interrupts the morn
With hurried, few, express reports
When March is scarcely on.
The robin is the one
That overflows the noon
With her cherubic quantity,
An April but begun.
The robin is the one
That speechless from her nest
Submits that home and certainty
And sanctity are best. ~ Emily Dickinson ~

May the sun be shining down upon you today!

Hugs, Mary

Shop Update!

One  of my all time favorite songs has lyrics that go like this :

L ~ is for the way you look at me
O ~ is for the  only one I see
V ~ is very, very, extraordinary
E ~ is even more than anyone that you adore

Romance...  that gaze that leading men give their leading ladies in the movies (old movies)  ~ so very romantic.

I am a romantic but do not need the fuss so much.  Romance comes in so many different forms.
Time spent together noted by a special gift.

 Hearts and flowers   ~

Love is not complicated.  It is simple and pure when you get right down to it.

For simple expressions of Love stop by my shop, Oh Merci.
Merci!  :)

... I had a moment to play around with sprays at the top of this wreath. 



It has not been often this fall that I have found time to re-charge like this.



Putzing around, fluffing the nest.... a favorite activity of mine ~ in need of restoring.





Here is a link to a new friend who has done such a lovely and sentimental job of getting
her nest feathered!   Do please stop in to say hello to her.

Merry Christmas!

Ok,  Ok... no quick chocolate treats that I promised you, yet.  However....

Look what I do have for you!

Life can be so very hectic, even traumatic today. I have started some pieces and stopped,

called away... All good. No worries, "Balance" can be restored.

If you need some Balance in your life perhaps you should visit Oh Merci.

Sweet Sugar Plum Dreams to you all!
