and ride off

and UNbridled potenTIAL?


Well, random acts of kindness have that effect on me



causing me to


in the power of


The gifts of wonder that you have sent me throughout my blogging experience, "JUST BECAUSE", envelop priceless sentiments of overwhelming support. I long to sit with you all one day S0MEWHERE OVER the RAINBOW


where BlUeBirds FLY








and thank you de Tout MON coEur. It takes


to change the course of another person's life.

I just read your email and just popped over to blogland and see you have written a new post : )

What can I say? You are a giver ... and so you also may receive. You bring inspiration and joyful moments into our lives, and giving little treasures to you is a way of saying 'thank you, I'm glad you are in my life!'

You are a dreamer... and inspire dreams in others, and have a magical touch... of Joie de vivre and creativity!!! And you are just so very kind too : )

Ma belle Anita,

You are an amazing lady. You inspire me, you make me dream of beautiful things and places. It's me who thank you de tout mon coeur ... You are a dear, dear friend.

Rosie said...

Oh my Darling,
IT IS YOU WHO IS...
the pillar...when I need strength
the shoulder...when my world is falling apart
the smile...when my eyes are damp
an infectious giggle...when all one can do is laugh
a kindred...so many times over
You always inspire and give of yourself day after day, because this IS who you are. You loyally come every single morning to wish me happiness throughout my day.I so adore you dear one...have a wonder filled day...xoxox...Rosie

Martina said...

Anita, i thought about YOU while composing the post you just saw - dressed up in your beautiful dress and crown, having fun! You are always so inspiring and i love the inspiration in your posts - this new one is fabulous! Given how busy you are, and how demanding your school days have been in the last weeks it is really great how you keep up blogging, and bringing so much fun to all of us! I hope you and Ruben will have a fab weekend. I want to go hiking tomorrow with my hubby and friends and hope the sun stays out. So beautiful this time of year, all the colors! Bisou :)

Rattus Scribus said...

Dearest,
What a glorious post. And how fitting that one who has given to me and so many people your own random acts of kindness, should do so again buy acknowledging this wonderful quality in others.

On another note, it is also fitting that in that enchanted land "over the rainbow" you should have a blue bird that is too cute for words.

Love you
Ruben

utterly chaming and so magically you! i will write you later :o)

Good morning,

the same lines : )!!
Beautiful post, as
always, sweet Anita.
Thank you for being YOU.

You are a gift in my life!
English is not my first language, so I have more difficulty to express my emotions.
I want to you know that you are very special to me and I don't imagine my life without your joy and friendship!
You are always in my heart!
Mille Bisous and thank you for the lovely surprise!

Oh, Anita...a visit to your blog is a treat for the eyes and the spirit. In a world where so many things are ugly and dark, your blog is beautiful and full of life and light. Thanks for sharing your gracious spirit in the blogosphere!

Martina said...

Dearest Anita, this is SO sweet of you, putting me on your list! Let's have some champagne there tonight, over the rainbow, and share a magical blue hour with the bluebird, eating macaroons in all the colors - chin, chin!

Sem Nome said...

I cannot ever say my feeling while looking for my name on your SPECIAL list, sweet Anita!!! My eyes got so glad for reading BELA right there and my heart reminded me its existance and my lungs stopped working for some seconds. I am alive after all this JOY YOU caused me, dear Anita friend!!! I am so sure life crossed our ways for some reason. Maybe we find it out one day. Maybe not. Maybe we all meet one day and share a delightful cup of tea among laughs and looks. You made my day, sweet!
Much love! Bela.

Some days I wish upon stars and I ask them to send moonbeams straight over Rabbit Hill! Pixie friends fly over often too...you just don't know it.

In our dreams, there we are...living and breathing. Our cottages turn into our castles and our cars turn into our pumpkin carriage and Cinderellas dreams come true for you and me and Dutchess three!

Loving the wild adventure with you, because we all BELIEVE.

Wonderful and thoughtful post... you are a blessing to many... you give so much of yourself to those you have only met virtually, but the care and thoughtful inspirations you offer through your posts and comments are real and truly do make a difference..xo HHL

PSSSSS.... Oh, and IZ... we were actually in Hawaii when he passed away and went to his memorial at the Shell in Honolulu. It was wonderful. No, not that the poor fella passed away..but, they had loads of Hawaiian artists dedicating music to him.

I will have three very special ladies helping me tomorrow, so there will be alot of giggling I'm sure.
Well sweet one I must say "Bonne nuit mon cher ami .... bien dormir"

Woolytales Miniatures said...

Good morning my dear friend!
Thank you for your visit and yes, I am so sorry for not having as much time as I wish to post comments to all blogs that I visit and to my dearest friends.
Nita, I am over the moon with the other news that you gave me. I will be praying that you and Ruben find just the right person to help you along the way. I always told you that you have the *way* to get this done and I am happy that the french lady has confirmed and encourage you too.

I visited the other site that you sent me last night again. I love everything about it. I will write later in a email more details.*grin*

Yes my dear, I turned pottery for half of my day yesterday. Becca also made some soap dihes and cups. The pottery shop , at this time of the year, is a special place for me. I love to sit and turn all kinds of dishes .... the shop is warmed with a small wood stove where I keep a pot of water boiling at all times. I make tea and it mantain the room with a perfect humidity.

Later the afternoon, we went to see Becca's game. It was a perfect afternoon.

Oh Yes, I still sleep about 5 to 6 hours a night but I don't do a lot on my wee hours . I "treasure" that time because it is quite ...perfect for my needy prayers!!*smiles*

I feel great Nita, like never before.I have completed 3 months of eating changes and I can't tell you how much my life has changed from that... I know you understand that very well.

Okay, I better go... Hope this was not a too long *comment*, grin!!!

Have a wonderful, peaceful and blessed Lord's day,
lovingly, Tita

George The Lad said...

Hi Antia
You gave me two miracle moments yesterday, one seeing George’s name on your list and the comment you left. I am very touched by what you will do, you truly are a giver, and I put myself in that category always doing things for other people don’t get me wrong, it is a special feeling and enjoyment you get from giving. So you will know how this has touched me. I am glad that you take George’s comments in the spirit that they are given; I do wonder what your other follower thinks with some of the things he or rather I have put!!
Its half term over here so time to recharge my batteries before the run up to Christmas!!
Have a good week
Jan

Martina said...

Dearest Anita, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your lovely comment on Robin and Julies pix! I'll tell them about what you said - they'll be thrilled!
Julie actually got a small role in a new David Cronenberg film about Sigmund Freud, playing side by side with Viggo Mortensen, that will soon come out. She was VERY exited, and of course we're all so proud of her. I'll blogg about this another time.
Aw, i wanted to come and visit you yesterday, but as i got home, son N°2 was hovering over my Mac with some of his friends, and it was impossible to shoo them away. I hope you're having a smooth start into another week of teaching. Am working my way through another project about wine & culture in our region, and must hurry to finish it. It just never stops! Till soon, bisou!

Vær våken said...

Hi Anita! Hope you're doing great today! That recipe with chocolate chips and ginger...I would me more than HAPPY if you would give it to me :) Ginger is also great now before Christmas!! But take your time..I'm not in a hurry! Have a lovely day!

Dear Anita,
If I had the number of students you have I think I would need to write a list of all their names and begin noting at least one praiseworthy thing about each child before Parents' Night (and maybe a photo with labels!! heehee) in case I got to a parent and forgot who we were talking about!!!! So many kids!!! Praying for strength for your journey, dear one!

Country Wings in Phoenix said...

Good Morning Anita Sweetie...
Oh thank you my friend so much for allowing me to call you friend. I have so enjoyed the treasures that I find here each and every time I come to visit.

You are such a giver of the heart my friend. You make each one of us feel as though we are your very best friend, and that is a very unique gift. You make my heart "happy" and my soul "sing" each and every time we talk. Thank you for that wonderful gift.

I love the way that you and Ruben dream, and you make me dream right along with you. See you are a teacher even on your blog, and didn't even realize it.

I love you sweet friend. May you have a truly blessed day, and for your gift of friendship and love, I am truly blessed. Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry

Dearest Gorgeous Anita .... You once said to me in a lovely comment to never leave you! Well believe me I never will .... I truly believe I have found an extraordinary friend and an extraordinary individual in you. I count myself blessed that one day I found your beautiful blog and thought to myself "Yes I love Crowns and Castles and Cottages" and so our friendship began. Anita I find in you a beautiful spirit that everytime I open my blog for the day I feel filled up if you have visited. I would like to do a post on you if you would allow it and I will email you for confirmation. You are the special one ......
hugs and lots of love

Martina said...

Anita, yes, will keep you informed about the film, can't wait to see it, although Julies part is not a big one - she plays Freuds oldest daughter, and was so exited about her costume - you would love it! Hope your day was fine - mine flew by like nothing again and sometimes it worries me, how fast the time goes, Wait, wait a minute, pretty day, i'm not finished with you yet ;)

Rosie said...

Greetings Dear One,
Oh my word! Soooo much fun...oh so tired. There was a great turn out, {which of course I always worry about,as it was pouring down buckets}and I think all had an enjoyable time. My girls worked sooo hard,as usual, and they made the shop sparkle, with laughter and smiles. They are VERY special.
So dear one...Bob the builder is going to start playing in the back yard shortly...YIPPEE... just doesn't seem to cover it!
AND YOU WILL BE PRINTING YOUR OWN FABRIC LINE!!! I LOVE your characters...completely angelic. I was VERY serious when I said I want to purchase some...it would be "delightful" in my baby section.
Tell me more about it. What will your color pallet be?
I hope to scope out purses for you on Friday. I don't think the one we are waiting for, will be in yet, but there are a few other companies I can check out,for your give away.
Oh Anita you are so sweet to sprinkle such encouraging words in my little world. Although, I was not able to return the wish, please know, I was smiling.
Well dear one I have managed to come down with a cold. Fortunately, the work is done and I will be a lazy girl tomorrow and sleep much.
Have a HAPPY day tomorrow and we will chat soon...xoxo...Rosie

LiLi M. said...

Thank you so much Anita!

It took me quite a while to arrive here. First I was tired of the extended weekend in Gent. When I arrived home again, the phone rang, one of my best friends calling: can we spend tomorrow at your place? Well of course! So I stood up early, cleaned the house, did the groceries and had a fab time. Except there seemed to be a little crow in my throat. Mmm yes, I have fetched my first cold of the season :-(

Yes, you should visit this part of Europe Anita! The flemish towns are quite beautiful but they are more friendly than the french towns more southern. And of course you should visit the Netherlands too! We could meet!

I love it how you honor your blogfriends and even include 'moi' (*blushing). Have a great week Anita, I do hope that you won't catch any colds. A final word: I love love love the photos of you and your harp!!! A fairy tale! Bisous, ma belle Anita!

Oh dear one,
I am praying for a safe journey... Feel His tender hug, as He comforts and protects you on this blustery day ...~R~...

Its me again Anita,
Update on my brother Woddy(Jr.)
He is holding his own.The Leukimia he has is very agressive.He is in remission yes...but he has to have booster chemo every three wks.My other brother and I are not a compatiable bone Marrow match.That broke our hearts .We thought that was the end.But his insurance is Tricare (military)and they have agreed to pay for other donors.Anyway the good news is as of right now...MD Anderson has found 29 matches.They are being screened now.I so appricate all the prayers and so does my brother.
Other things are also going on,so to keep my mind off things.I make things. I try to blog more,but its not the same.I also read.When I read I'm in another world till I'm needed. As Jr said...Its all in Gods hands Sis.
You take care.I will tell Sherry To get in touch.They have her working way to much.I don't want her to get run down,
Hugs Sweetheart,
Marie

You are safe at home, tucked under a warm fuzzy blanket, fire in the in the fireplace and a warm cuppa tea in hand. Oh Anita I am sure you were so nervous driving in this blustery weather...but you were so very brave.
I am so excited that you will witness the beginning of your dream...how VERY exciting!
Well I have a whopper of a cold, so spent the day in bed and think that this will be on the agenda for tomorrow as well. It is time to make another cuppa tea and call it a night. Travel safely tomorrow and we will enjoy another fine bit of chit chat very soon...{sniffle}...Rosie

Anita, hope you have a great day - with pupils and teachers that adore you like they should! Thanks for your nice comment! Yes, i studied art and painting - the whole design thing came later, due to my husband who had a printing-business. And so, i constantly try to juggle several things. But i'm a gemini (star-sign) - and i like juggling. Sometimes ;) See you soon!
