My Corner of the Room

My grandmother, Lucy, taught me many things.  One thing was her love of reading.  I created a corner in the master bedroom to enjoy some of my favorite books.

I arranged my favorite chair and put a stool with some old sewing drawers with my concrete reading lamp.  My mannequin sits on my vintage suitcase overlooking my corner.

A cup of tea with a splash of milk while I look through my favorite books

 I have enjoyed this spot in the afternoon with the sun shining in

 Such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon, a good book with my feet up

I hope your weekend was wonderful and the luck of the Irish be with you this week.  Di

Dreaming and Wishing

BELIEVE

 You need to believe in your dreams

 A Wish is your deepest desires of your heart

A garden to shower you with nutrition and beauty

 Your beautiful family, friends and loved ones gathered around 

 Especially true to believing and wishing is going to your dream places

 A dream completed becomes a dream for you and others

 To create for your loved ones are even more special

 A postcard from me to you is dare to dream, dare to expand your horizons and share your joy

                                                                 B E L I E V E

YES, KEEP BELIEVING

I love dreaming and wishing and when I can fulfill my plans and it makes my family joyful, it's all worth it.  I got to see the joy in my hubby, daughter and son-in laws faces when we saw the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the city for days.  It was way to short but I know we will be back again...I can't wait.

I wanted to thank a fellow blogger, Rhonda at A Little Bit French  for her wonderful Etsy shop.  I recently purchased a packet of her pictures and beautiful bits.  Her work is just beautiful and made my Ode to Paris a masterpiece.

                             Keep on Dreaming my Friends,

Dress Form Ball

Lucy is am going to the Ball, she got her invitation

 This is how Lucy started, she so wanted to be fabulous

At first, Lucy thought that she would go Cow Girl Chic

 But then, she gathered her lace, a little french script and pearls

Started dressing, layer after layer of creamy, white fabric

Her date added a corsage

She added her mother's necklace

Almost ready

From the back her bustle was fabulous

It might get cold so she added her fur collar

All dressed and ready to go

Just in case it's snowing, she changed to the fur jacket and hat

yes the little one wanted to come too!
