For today, there are no craft projects, no before/afters and no diy’s. It’s just me and a few of my favorite things. Things that make me happy. Things that make me smile. Things that make me glad to be alive. I hope they do the same for you.
I know of few things as beautiful as a New England Autumn…
Shining sun, chilly morning, Autumn came without a warning…Christina A. Nelson
A European cobble stoned street lined with balconies, flowers and tables…
My heart is warm with friends I make, and better friends I’ll not be knowing; Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take, no matter where it’s going…Edna St. Vincent Millay
Sweet tiny houses just begging for someone to step inside and daydream…
I never let a full day pass, without a touch of leaf or grass, and never sunset goes but I, must cool my lips against the sky…Eva Willes Wangsbaard
Lush window boxes, rocking chairs and welcoming little porches…
A sweet white painted porch, perhaps with a swing, a place for memories to take wing…Fox Den Rd.
White arbors with gorgeous roses blooming profusely…
O for a garden of the olden time, where none but long-familiar flowers grow…John Russell Hayes
Cheery blossoms in bloom and white tulle…
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread-and thou…Edward Fitzgerald
Ruffled tablecloth and sparkling chandelier…
A romantic afternoon with tea, I agree, what could be better, than just you and me…Fox Den Rd.
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along…Maulana Jalalu’ddin Rumi
A quiet place with which to dream…
O solitude! If I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap of murky buildings…John Keats
Someday, maybe I’ll have a cute little porch or that sweet potting shed.
A place to create,
A place to roam,
You are my heart,
You are my home.
(Fox Den Rd.)
