but we must carry on


the secret garden

st. michael
-----------------
i left my home nearly 24 hours ago
and i've only had one hour of sleep!!
we spent 7 hour wondering the streets
(carmi knew where we where going!)
now that we are all settled in
i'm ready to call it a day
above are just a few of the
over 400 shots taken
hopefully tomorrow i will be on paris time
and be able to tell you where i went
and what i did

bon voyage!

well, i off!

the next time i post i will be

enjoying a glass of vine

somewhere in paris!!
stay tuned...............

playing around

i've been sick with this nasty cold

first one in years and it comes just before my trip

so i've been hopped up of cold meds

and playing with my i phone around the house

not sure what app i used for the rose

but i know is use the kaleidoscope one for the top photo

hopefully i will have it all figured out before i leave

only 2 more sleeps and one long flight

i'll be in paris!!!

------

the roses were a gift from my friends

jannet and sabrina

from my encaustic show a few weeks ago

and they are just starting to bloom

they look wonderful in my bay window

thanks girls!

happy easter

springtime

Awake, thou wintry earth

Fling off thy sadness!

Fair vernal flowers,

laugh forth

Your ancient gladness!

working on a present for my friend

------------

it was always a trek to

get visit their old store in the west end

but now it's so close

the fabric and notions are great

but the things that caught my eye in the new store

was this mannequin

with it's feathered dress

and this one with the "lions" head

after a wonderful lunch i spotted this purse
