~ dashes of loveliness

here & there, {beyond anticipation, where turquoise rainbows reside}

threadbare tapestries & silken rosebuds to you dear hearts!

~ ensconced within these pages,

a world of snow,

& wondering most heartfully upon these collars & this perfect little bag of love

~ heartfully found

a soft & fragrant {billowing!} palette to you! x

~ fresh & white

The world is so fresh & white where i live, having been imbued with the stillness of a beautiful deep sigh.. .

we looked over a valley at sunset, white roofs gleaming, & on the eve of another years voyage, i thought of a quote my younger sister had written in one of her school books;

"The nature of history is narrative ~ a narrative anchored in the continuum of time."

so, in a nod to this continuum of time.. .to remember treasures gleaned, to actually create the gathered inspiration/thought /& skill from my last year's journey, & to continue to find & warm shy hearts by the wayside ~ is something like a New Year's hope i've shaped into a resolution for the coming year's seasons.
& from me, to you, across the pages of time & the oceanic tides of this beautifully billowing blogosphere, Happy New Year!!!!

~ a Christmas rose

 

we were gifted a wreath by Whole Foods :) being one of the last customers Christmas eve. {i had visions of beautiful wreaths with soft pink peonies & white shooting star hydrangea, or a wreath made of 100 dried roses, alas, we made do with the beautiful scent of evergreen which i was also thankful for.. .most muchly!}

 

 Christmas morning sung of Le Toy Van Dollhouse toys, which are remarkably lovely, pretty & enjoyably worthwhile for little sisters!!!  & i am really oozing over my pearlized mini cocette from le creuset & wondering how to make a souflee or a tiny shepherds pie, or.. .well, i am no baker! so any recipe suggestions would be most appreciated :)

 

sunbeams & moonshafts of effervescent proximity for you <3

~ this Christmas eve.. ,

 on this eve, a carpark blizzard & an 8 metre flag that seemed to be curling, dancing, & billowing within it,{while the softness of Christmas lights glow upon my heart, wrapping it in stillness ~ a sweet serenity} 

gentlest thoughts! <3

~ a bounty, {a whisper,} a dream

fernes & snow-dipped petals humming

{alongside the hope of gentle morning moments for you!}
