Inside my castle and out and about

(a treasure box, only fit for crowns and such)

Thank you for letting Julie & me into the castle for a bit. Pretty. I love the new necklace/painting, too. It's very Persephone Post like...well, you know what I mean, I'm sure.

The rose is lovely...I wonder what kind you ended up getting - I think that was a discussion on the blog a few years back. Possibly I am making this all up:)

And I do love your crown pins...certainly appropos of late.

Cheers, Tina. I hope your weekend is gliding along nicely. xoxo

This is the kind of thing that uplifts me.
My kids often laugh at what I find to marvel at. I cannot tell you (but you do it marvelously for me!) how I feel when I see a little bunch of flowers popping from the asphalt. there is nothing that I find more affirmative, crying to me: "LIVE!" that those tiny flowers. I often photograph them, but rarely or never post them. I admit I feel intimidated by the beautiful arrangements people photograph. But there you have it. I am a humble chamomile, after all.
I love your post!

Oh how I love your vintage jewelry box! God, I wish they still make one of those nowadays! And those little crowns are so adorable. The King's crown could be a beautiful ring, don't you think? And your garden is so refreshing! It probably feels like you're living in a true castle!
