Anita, could anything be prettier than that little gold bird box? No! Did you make that, sweetie?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, pretty post! Love that Queen song, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments on my Dad's b-day post. I hope you have a lovely weekend, Anita.
I'm heading over to look at your etsy shop now. I HAVE to see that beautiful heart and bird gold piece.
Wow I soooo needed this post Anita!! On top of being exhauseted from moving, my mind is like mush and escaping to blogland for a little bit is always a treat but coming here is like visiting the CROWN JEWEL of blogland...geezz...you really know how to up the ante, this post is brilliant. Love the little piggy picture, what John Lennon said and mostly your beautiful and uplifting message ALWAYS.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anita!!
WOW..so sweet and lovely...what a beautiful little golden bird box..Have a great weekend dear sister..xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely post dear Anita,I loved the little piglet LOL.
ReplyDeleteBlessings! Have a beautiful weekend!
soooo pretty. I will have to learn about Etsey, and go visit your little shop.
ReplyDeletebeautiful sentiments about LOVE. I loved that saying by Lennon (I am going to put it on my facebook, hope that's ok with you...I'll give you credit for finding it)
ups and downs of love, Highs and lows. joys and sorrows. It's all part of the LOVE experience.
but LOVE always comes out victorious and isn't that WONDERFUL.
what is with you and your hubby, GENIUS..both of you. The way you write and express yourselves.
Hope your day is filled with love moments for the both of you.
HUGS....me
ma chère Anita,
ReplyDeleteFalling up - c `est un post merveilleux aujourd `hui!!!

Je te souhaîte un très, très bon-weekend à Minnesota.

Wowwwww...life is good......life brings me you......love love for a happy weekend........my dear friend from far away...and feeling so close to me....xxx...xxx...xxx...
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this post and your AMAZING creations. How wonderful you are, Anita, to be able to make magic like that. Possibly, I think the key to your creative abilities is that you love and are loved by many. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteI very much like that John Lennon quote. Come to think of it; I very much liked John Lennon.
Stephanie
Didn't pop up to this Lennon's saying so far but it is something that I use while working with parents: the goal is to raise child to be happy, loving and daring no matter what!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, as always!
love, ivana
I doubt I can eat bacon for a while after that incomparably sweet photo. I am with John Lennon. If we all had a little more of that... and less of the backbiting viciousness ... well what a world we would have. Here's to falling up!
ReplyDeleteoooh our minnie (piglet) is NEVER that still!! (she wags her tale when you speak to her though)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I digress.
I love everything about love, love being in love and feel grateful to have known such love.
beautiful post

Bonjour mon amie!
ReplyDeleteLove that John Lennon quote! And of course ALL we need is LOVE!! Love the glimpses of your lovely Rabbit Hill on your sidebar... it looks like it should be in a magazine.
I've been enjoying life and working on organizing our household from top to bottom. But of course I make horrible messes to get to the end product of bliss! We finally have snow on Golden Pond and I'm so happy to be NOT working and snuggled in our little nest.
Hope you are doing good at school and having fun ma belle!
Mises bisous, Sherry
Love all your beautiful and thoughtful creations Anita!
ReplyDeleteIts always so inspiring coming here!
Love you!

Love your pretties Anita, such magical gifts! You have been busy creating such fairy tale things, awwww, it's always time to show LOVE! How's your weekend so far? I'm still not back to my full health and strength, but feel warm and collected today. Had a walk thorough town with my hubby and bought many colors of paper for more paper-flowers. We will show some in or next edition of KidsLife, let's see! Now, we'll have dinner with the boys and maybe watch a film. Relax my dear one, it's true, this winter has been hard for many of us, and we need to take good care of ourselves! Have a lovely evening and sunday ahead and keep sparkling the world with fairy dust! xx
ReplyDeleteOh Anita, Clever, colorful and creative this post on love!

I has some 'Christmas cash' to buy myself a gift so I ordered from your shop and I can't wait to have a couple of your bluebirds find their way to my home! I think they will be a lovely addition to the hutch I refurbished. Maybe I'll finish the inside before they arrive. It's always good to have added incentive!
ReplyDeleteHappy day off on Monday, my friend!
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteChilly here, snowing and we are tucked in for the day, both having a day off.
I love Pinterest too. Have you come to see my board? I have been to your board and it's pure delight. Almost a Cloud 9 experience in January!
Love sent to you!
Hey sweet friend, thank you for coming and crumbling along today! I really do LOVE crumbles, they are better than cake. Do you feel better yet - i mean - really good? I still don't. Better, but not my old self yet. I hope, as the days get longer, strength improves and energy. Celebrating Valentines in Feb. is so nice and your treasures are GORGEOUS! They are made with LOVE and it shows! Hope your day is lovely and send you sparkles!

Hi Anita...look at all these love hearts...you have reminded me that Valentine's Day is coming up quickly...John Lennon says some of the best things doesn't he....Another LOVEly post...Dzintra xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Anita, absolutely love the hearts you have created. I'm sure they will be flying off of your etsy shelf! The quote by Lennon is one of my personal favorites from him. He truly was a poet, an innovator, and a visionary. Hope you are having a great start to your week. It is rainy, and dreary here, but a visit to see you always brightens my day, and feeds my soul. You and Dore have that in common..soul feeders teehee Love to you, my friend, Christel
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful blog Anita..... LOVE!

Anita,
ReplyDeleteHow can I tell you that I LOVE this post that you have created? First off, THAT GOLD BOX...that's one of the prettiest items I've seen! It looks antique gold, which I prefer over gold. The torquoise heart with the wings is darling, and the yellow one is cheerful. I am so looking forward to Valentine's Day. Anita, it's one of my favorite holidays. Red and pink, chocolate, hearts, and love...what more can I ask for? Thank you for making me smile with this wonderful post. I am heading on over to your shop right now to see more goodies. A lovely week to you.

Hi sweet friend...had the day off today too but it ended up being a snow day anyways...our week could be crazy as our forecast is calling for ooooodles of snow.

ReplyDeleteMorning dear one...I feel great today..maybe the bug got scared away by all our snow!!! It is another SNOW DAY...you should see the amount of snow piling up everywhere..and it is still coming down...but I can stay cozy and warm inside today...no going out on the roads for me.
ReplyDeleteHope your eye is not giving you too much trouble...sending you some snowy blessings for a wonderful day...hugs. xoxoxoxoxo
It's SNOWING here! Okay, nothing major, but we don't get it a lot and so it's pretty exciting when it does come.

Hope you have a beautiful day...just like YOU!

Anita!!!! Happy New Year! It's been forever, my sincere apologies for that. And I meant to get back to Reuben sooner. John's mom passed away and it's been a little hectic the past month, but it was a blessing. She was suffering. I e-mailed you back in December, but now I see you may not have received it! Here is my e-mail: debfamularo@gmail.com Please send me a quick "hi" and I'll save you in my contacts. I hope you and Reuben are both doing well. I do need to catch up on your blog! And your etsy shop! I miss you, and am so glad you left that comment! Much love always, deb xOxO

Also, I LOVE what you and Ruben have done to your home. What a lovely refuge you have made for yourselves. One day I'll visit ... really.
ReplyDeleteLove to Ruben.

Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post! I love the little piggy, and our piano is almost exactly like the one in your photo, although ours is painted dark blue, instead of turquoise.
The Valentine's favors are mighty sweet, as well.
Love,

Bonjour dearest!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you, for sending me over to see sweet RIA... I changed my settings to the pop up window and now I can access my comments... YIPEEEEEEE!
Still having a little trouble visiting some dear bloggers but hope it clears up soon.
Thank you so much for all your visits and encouragement.
BISOUS!

Hello sweetheart! This post is absolutely lovely!!! Yes, it's so important to love! And, to me, so important too is spreading love. To love and to spread love, two things essential to life and our hearts.Thanks, dear, for this sweet words, images, and message! You really have a kind heart so full of love. Lots of kisses, Rachel :))))
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday dearest Anita!!
ReplyDeleteWe finally got snow!!!! It melted in less than a week but it was so beautiful!!!! Have you had any snow?
This blog post is amazing!!!! I love the heart shaped lollipops with decorations and the John Lennon quote about happiness is awesome!!!!! I love all the gorgeous photos!!!!
We had crazy weather last night- it was mild & warm but our weather informed us of a cold front returning with frigid temperatures. We were supposed to get some rain as the front blew in HOWEVER- instead of just rain- tornado warnings were issued and we had severe storms with hail, high winds, & heavy rainfall. It was quite a surprise when I looked at my phone around 11:00 PM before going to bed to see if the temperatures had begun dropping yet & saw the tornado warning red alert flashing on my weather app!!!
I woke my husband up & we went downstairs. Ugh!!! Never a dull moment!!!!
Hope your weather is more calm!!!!!
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday!!!!
Hugs!!!! :-)
Very sweet images...I must check out your etsy shop!

Well dearest things are lookin' PRETTY white here. We, who may get one or two days of powder, have about 8 inch of snow and the best is yet to arrive tomorrow. We are enjoying a few "snow days" here in Abbotsford.
Cleaned EVERYTHING that needs cleaning, and will bake and slather a bit of paint about tomorrow...shaping up to be a fine day filled with all of my favorite things.
How are you keeping? What wonderment are you cookin'up for all of your little lovelies these days? I bet you are dreaming up something that involves much glitter and many pretty hearts :)
Well must start supper now, will chat soon dearest friend. Love and Laughter...Rosie

ReplyDeleteOh you have been busy creating! I love your wands... so fun and fabulous!
Speaking of fabulous... I hope you are having a fabulous week! It was great having the extra day this weekend. Did you have Martin Luther King day off too? I really needed it and could use the rest of the week :D

I'm going to try and catch up this week on your past posts I've missed. And I must get back to your Etsy Shoppe to see what all you've had yourself creating! ;)

Hello Dear Friend...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. I'm glad you enjoyed M & K...haha...
The snow is gone...boohoo...it was short lived, but so pretty when it was falling from the sky. Last night around midnight it looked magical - like a winter wonderland! Absolutely gorgeous. Maximus and I looked out the window and you could tell that he noticed it. :)
That's so weird that you guys aren't getting snow. Do you miss it? I am like a kid when it snows. I get soooo excited.
Well, my dear...I hope you have a good day. Looking forward to your upcoming post.
Have a lovely day!
xoxo
Heidi :)
How does the song go? "Love is all there is." May you always find love and happiness in your heart.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anita, how's youe eyes today? I hope you feel better! I have an on and off bladder inflamation since after christmas and hope i'm out of it soon. It's really tiring to not have your full energy over such a long time, but one has to be patient ... Maybe the body is teaching us something and we don't hear properly? Anyway dear, your blog lawys refershes me and cheers me up and i love your gorgeous heart wands!
ReplyDeleteHi dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI have just visited your Etsy shop hopping to buy one of your charming Valentine's Day cards ; unfortunately , I am late ...but that is Ok.I am so happy you are doing so well.
Have a lovely week ahead!
Thinking of you
Yes! Just this week, I was thinking how important good relationships are. They are so hard to develop and foster, it seems, in our super-busy world that when I do possess a relationship of value, I want to do everything possible to keep it alive. Love gains a lot of perspective after seeing it beyond disappointment and pain, for sure.
ReplyDeleteYOUR POST is as lovely and beautiful as ever and so full of that sense that the words were written from a depth of personal experience.
I hope the rest of your week is splendid!
Keri
beautiful post, it makes me smile and makes me feel happy, well done, thank you.

Hi my friend...it's a cold one today here...first day back to school and it is cold and blister..the kind of cold that chills you to the bone...sooo windy..snow drifts everywhere. So much for our pretty snow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday...how is your eye my friend? xoxoxo It is almost the weekend. We can do it!
Anita, your Etsy shop is as magical as your blog! You create with sooo much love, it sparkles already through my screen.
ReplyDeleteHow have you been my friend? Is life busy and hectic? I think all our lifes soak us in and that's the way it's supposed to be, I'm afraid. To live to the fullest we have to take it ALL.
Hugs for today and every day xoxoxo
Hi Anita and i like the John Lennon quote as I'm a big fan of his. And please stop by my own neck of the woods if you get a chance because I've just published the tour that i had gone to this past September of the movie "Witness" that stared Harrison Ford from 1985. This farm is now Amish owned and was open to the public so i was able to take a lot of picture's, and i have 2 Amish recipes in this one as well. Richard
ReplyDeleteAnita This song put me in such a good mood today!!! Maximus and I have been dancing around the living room. We made way from some new furniture that we're getting this weekend, so we have a nice open space, despite the toys all over...haha...It was SO much fun! When I sat Maximus down on the floor just a bit ago, he was rocking back and forth. SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anita!
Have a blessed day!

Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind visit - left a note but the first one did not seem to come though.
I am feeling okay, taking ibprofen for something that is like Glandular fever which I had when I was in my 20's.
Your post is beautiful so was great to come and visit again.
Will go and visit Ruben's blog.
Happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn

ReplyDeleteBonjour, ma belle! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I'm certain you are working at a amazing project or two.
ReplyDeleteAren't those chairs fabulous?! Like you, my heart belongs to antiques... however, I would love to own an iconic modern piece or two but I don't think a wire piece is in my future... although I never say never.
xoxo, B
my dear sweet friend
ReplyDeletei have come to visit your pretty world and thank you for your kind words.
my heart is still heavy, other than here in the soft and magical beauty you create it feels like a cruel world, even my faith seems to be turning to dust. but i am sure i will see the light light again, i know it is there and i thank you for ever reminding me.
sending you warmest hugs and a steaming cup of p.g. with a bunny biscuit on the side xxx
even when i am not visiting much, i am thinking of you fondly always
much love and hugs to both you and your dear ruben xxx
remember it is imbolc/candlemas on wednesday/thursday, i will send you magical wishes xxx

Hai, I also have this diamant ring....! Just kidding! I'm also happy with nothing. Because our health is the most important thing.
