The eyes beneath his picture are mesmerizing.
Thank you, love.
Joyful day to you!

How you post is the closest I've seen to the magical trinity I call my life. Eco-system of garden-home-me. Patterns, templates, reality, magic, books, music, pets, Nature & more magic.
Kindred spirits are many.
Garden & Be Well, XO T
HOOOOOOORAY!!!!!! FOR MEEEEEEE!
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to win your beautiful shoe - and the colours are going to go perfectly in my boudoir!
Thank you so much lovely blogging friend. And a wonderful post as always. Puppies don't usually do it for me but if I saw that litlle guy I'd pop him in my bag and make off!
And I have my own giveaway posted today...so pop back over to mine in a spare moment....THANK YOU again

Aw well done dear Fee!! Truly deserved.
I love that puppy too, in fact it nearly made me cry. I get all emotional at new born babies and cute pups!!!
Lovely blog post as always and I swooned as always. That turquoise moth is stunning. As is the weird punk rocker pigeon!
Tee hee!
Dear Anita, I hope all is well with you. x x x x x x
There is always, always, always something to be thankful for. I believe it. Love is always near, beauty is everywhere, light shining in the darkness of our days.
Lucky FEE!!!!

There IS always always always something to be thankful for.
Even when I have felt at my LOWEST and in my DEEPEST sorrows, I KNOW, I am not forgotten

It is good to always be reminded of that.
How is your summer going ??

Breathe-giving beauty INDEED.
How is it then that I am still trying to catch my breathe after your incredible post just TOOK IT AWAY! Hahaha
Truly proof, dear Anita, that you ARE Queen when it comes to putting a post together. So stunning!
Oh,...and thank God for the fantastic items He has put on this earth for us to see!♥
Congratulations to sweet Fee!! (lucky duck!)
I know I could not be in your draw, due to the fact that I hadn't done a Paris post this year. (darn it!)
As you know, I am a bit swamped this year. NEXT year...look out!!
;-)
I am thinking that I should do a giveaway, for all my long suffering followers, seeing as I have been so absent of late.
Here is a link to how I filled my day, yesterday...

Oh LUCKY, lucky, lucky Fee!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you.. I know when you receive this beautiful piece of art you will be touched with magic and full of joy! Anita's art is simply exquisite.
I love this post dearest... Ohhhh, the birds... such beauty in every image and word. Thank you for having such a giving heart..
Bisous!
Penny
Hey, thanks for coming to visit me over at 'Lilliput Loft'. Yes these little canines do take such a lot of effort. They are actually all spoken for, if the sale goes through without a hitch. I'm not holding my breath though, as she wanted 50, and I could only manage 28...and she lives in Greece. (say no more) Still, I will just list them in Etsy, if she cancels, where I will be increasing their price, as I think $20 was too cheap, for the amount of work that goes into them. (Yes, I have made them ALL FROM SCRATCH)
I have just come from a visit with Rattus Scribus. He seems to have Tea Parties on his mind...
Another journey to Wonderland! I'm in awe every time. I guess that's why I keep coming back! Cathy
Hi Dearest Anita,
What a gorgeous giveaway, Fee is very lucky! I love all of your fabulous creations.
I hope all is going well for you with the business and life. I am finally getting some time to rest before summer school starts and I'm back at it again.
Another beautiful post, and ahhh...
the music!
Hugs,
Patti
Congrats to Chipper Nelly. Anita, your post is lovely, artistic and inspirational. Thank you, and I agree there is always, always, always something to be grateful for...Mary PS I invite you to come follow me.
Yes, there is always, always, always, always something to be thankful for!
Stunning...as always, Anita!
Hello Anita
How beautiful and you are so right to always remember being grateful.
I love the story you have woven through your images this week.
Congratulations to Fee. I love the colours of the shoes. No doubt will look adorable in her room
Helen xx
Congratulations to the lucky winner! And yes, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.
Anita,dear friend...I simply adore your blog and your writing. I love the music that you so perfectly put with your posts. I love the beauty that you evoke. I love that blogging has brought us together. Congratulations to a very lucky winner of your beautiful creation.

Anita, as always, beautiful. Thank you for your calming words and beautiful blog.
XOXDO
P.S. Saw Marie yesterday and spent time with the family (Rusty and Juliette) - Karina and Donte graduated from high school! Time goes by sooooooo fast. I remember when she was just a tiny baby and Marie and I would sit on a blanket under the big tree at the house in Pico and just stare at her when she was just a baby.
Sending you love my friend!
And say hello to Ruben!
XOXO
Deb
Oh Anita...this is one of your absolute best. So beautiful, and this is a thought to dwell on every single day. Gratitude is key to appreciating and seeing that very faith and that very love, n'est-ce pas? It is a choice, albeit we sometimes need dear souls like you to remind us.
Bless you, precious one!
You are a gifted WRITER, my dear, wonderful friend.
The photos are exquisitely curated, and I love that song.
Brava.
And a big WOOOHOOO to Fee...lucky girl!!
The collage is fabulous too ;)
Love you!
Dearest Anita
Oh yes, she is gathering her things for her next adventure.
Our conversation made my day! It was so good to hear your sweet voice.
That parrot...Is he beautiful or what.
Enjoy your evening dear friend
Bisous!
Penny
Magnificent writing my dear!
And the images you chose are exquisite! The cat resting on the horses back, and that white bird with the tilt of the head reminds me of Drifter dog, he looks at me like that when he is trying to understand what I am saying!!!
Congratulations to Fee, she will be absolutely delighted with your artful shoe!!!
Thank you for your words of life.
~ Violet
Oh my gosh, there are NO words to describe the woman with the aqua eyes. Unbelievable is one that comes close. This post is very special to me when you describe how where we live is in our heart. I am going through this right now. With the kids all raised, we are wondering if we should live in the mountains or stay in the area where I have lived for many years. Such a big decision, and a lot of pros and cons to look at. I will ask God to guide me, as this has been very unsettling for me. The main thing that brought a tear to my eye is when you said there is always something to be grateful for. I think that's why I love ya so much. I am going to have to come back to see that pink bird and the lady in aqua. Such an amazing picture.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Was this written for me??? ;) ;)
Love u xoxo
Fee will love your pretty little slipper.So glad your words still enchant Me and also convey the truth.Hugs and blessings your way-Denise
Dear Anita ~~~ I always look forward to your posts ~ they always touch my heart in a special way ~~ I also really enjoyed the photo of the cute white bird ~~~

you are so amazing to have this beautiful give-away .
Congratulations to FEE .
Once ...seems long ago now.... life seemed so easy . Everything was structured with work and family and days became weeks and weeks became months and months became years .
All was clear . SEEMED clear .....
I was a mother of four , my husband left me and I worked a fulltime job as a teacher and I was always making things .... baking things.... surprising people ....
so busy .....
and now ...my children left the house . The rooms are empty .
I am no longer working as a teacher
and so there is less inspiration to make or bake .....
and now it's all about me .
How about me ?
I am so thankful there is BLOGGING
I am so happy I found YOU
I feel we are sisters .....
Happy weekend Anita
I send you an email rightaway when the beautiful postcard arrived .
Thank you so much .
and you know what
the package I send you has come back to me .
I have no idea where it has been around the world
I made a mistake in the address
I am so sorrie but also happy
now I can send it to you for real !
happy weekend my dear
Hi Anita and I wonder how your weather is towards the mid west, we over in the northeast are having some extreme heat. But that looks to be breaking as the weekend approaches. Makes me miss Paris that much more which reminds me I think I left my socks in that hotel room so id better go back to Paris to pick those up! Richard
Congratulations to Fee!

Anita,I would E-mail you with an answer but I don't have your address.I'm having My surgery July 5th.Waiting anxiously for My new baby tummy to arrive ;) My E-mail is knuckled54@yahoo.com Remember Me in prayer that day.Denise
Oh my GOODNESS! What a truly beautiful post. I love so many of these images. I want to live in that cottage on the water, ride that horse and wear that black velvet coat. (With my bird!) What inspiration, must steal a few of these away to look at frequently. Thank you for sharing. x
Here I am coming to say that you inspire all of us Anita, to make changes if we aren't happy with our situations. There is always room for change, always.
Sister does that to me too. I'm a better person from her love towards humanity. You do that too.
Either pictures or words, you know how to move us.
We adore you my friend.
See, I jumped to Denise's blog to see how you moved her to reflect on Paris. You took her down memory lane, just when she needed it.
You are amazing.
I will come around to see how you are doing throughout the summer.
Enjoy your time with Ruben.
Love you
xoxoxoxo
Absolutely gorgeous post! You spoil us! I would love to live in that adorable cottage surrounded by roses and wisteria and have that lovely pink retreat in my back garden. True bliss!
Have a magical day!
Robin
Everyone should start their day this way. Who would not have peaceful spirit to share with others. I have The Washhouses of Pontrieux in Brittany on my latest post also. Loved the image. Thanks for another lovely experience!
Félicitations à l'heureuse gagnante.
Mais tu sais Anita, passer sur ton blog est déjà un cadeau !
Gros bisous et très beau week-end

Another gorgeous and inspirational post Anita, I love the music! You always give me much to ponder! Congrats to Fee..

Hi Anita ~ It is me again. I was thinking about your post and decided to revisit it just because I think your words are so beautiful. May I ask, where do you find your inspiration??? I feel in my heart all inspiration comes from God and am wondering if you feel the same way, because I see the blessing of God within you Anita when you post such life giving words on your posts.
Thank you Anita~
God Bless You,

Stopping to find things Im grateful for is how I got thru some difficult times. Such an important tool for life really. Congrats to Fee. Ill have to check out her blog. Fiona
I Loved the black lab puppy as well! congrats to your winner! I will definitely have to enter the contest next year! Loved this beautiful post! Thanks so much for all of your kind and encouraging comments…You are always so thoughtful!
Another gorgeous post dear Anita!!!
Congratulations to Fee!
hugs from here...
You are so cute! Well, you may want to ask Rattus to go to the concession stand and buy some popcorn.... It may be awhile..teeee
Oh how true this is! Sometimes I think "too much" and get myself in a bit of a jam...I have so much to be thankful for indeed! And I am so thankful for you, my dear friend.
Congratulations, Fee! Ohhhh....I bet she's so excited!
Have a lovely weekend, Anita. I think you and I need to take a break from cleaning this weekend...DEAL? haha...
Fee is so lucky; the shoe is beautiful!
Beautiful thought-provoking post, dear friend. Your photos feed my love of whimsy; your words my mind and soul. "Do not be overwhelmed by the silhouette of obscurity.." How very Important that is. I was thinking the other day how very small my stature to do something truly wonderful. Then I thought of a few people who, despite their relative "insignificant" beginnings, used every ounce of what they DID have to ultimately touch many people in positive ways. Like Mother Teresa & Gladys Aylward. Your post is a great reminder-- gratitude for what I do possess is key to creativity and being a force for good.
I hope your weekend is wonderful!
Keri
This post is so special...thank you..hug from all of us.xoxo
Anita...you are too funny! I guess that is a good sign to be thinking about me and painting after your exam!~Hugs, Patti
here goes another try! I simply must leave a comment on this beautiful post. I've signed in and out twice again, so lets see...
Oh!! It worked!!!! So as I said in my email, Such beautiful thoughts and I really did want to "dwell" in your images. But instead, we shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever, n'est-ce pas, chérie?

I have chosen to dwell in Paris since you took me on an amazing trip, I haven't departed... Big thanks to you for giving me the inspiration to learn more about France! I will try to post my daydream adventures as often as possible. As soon as I finish school I am considering taking a class to learn to speak French.
Have a blessed weekend my friend!

Congrats to Fee and thank you for always lifting our spirits with your beautiful posts! You are a treasure in the blogging world, my friend!
And I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS thankful for you. :)
Thank you for stopping by, love. I'm not surprised about the slippers, kindred spirits, remember? ;) They are so pretty, perfectly suited for you.
Wishing you a SPECTACULAR Saturday. You never know what opportunities to love you'll find along your path. I say even a smile to a store clerk makes a world of difference. Sometimes all that people need is a simple acknowledgment, eyes meeting eyes with warmth. I was reading that in the book I am enjoying (the one I photographed at the beach) and I thought how I've been doing this for so long. It's fun to see the reactions.
K, off to visit with Pinkies now.
MUAH!!!
Hello Dear Anita, its me Tess, George has let me pop over to visit.
Congratulations to Fee, I think that shoe would fix my tiny paws.
Thanks you for asking about my leg, I'm doing really well, I've just come back from swimming and on Thurday a did a long walk with George and Boomerang in the Mud!!! Mom thought my leg would be to bad this Saturday for my swim but I am fine.
I'm going to be swimming in the Blog olympic games. All about it will be in next months Tess.
The photos are stunning in this post, mom gets her inpration from the photos on your posts.
Sending you a ((hug))) and kiss across the pond Tess XXX
Opps it could say FIT my tiny paws
Sorry xxx
Sent you a special email. Let me know if you get it.
XOXO
Morning to you my friend...such a lovely message once again! And congratulations to Fee! She is very blessed to have one of your beautiful shoes. I know she will treasure it.
It is Saturday morning so you know what that means...no more school with students! They are all set free and the staff will be following them next Friday. I have 3 more teacher clean up days! It is almost here that wonderful time called Summer Holidays.
I really can't believe that you have been out for so long already...you school must start up earlier than ours.
Have a great day...I am still working on Christmas over here...but with all this rain the light is so bad for photo taking. Oh well at least I have the ideas....love to you my friend.
All this beauty of stunning images, wise words, moving music makes me content, overwhelmed with wonder and thankful for you. Dear Anita, thank you for always visiting me and always making my day special!
Congratulations to the lucky winer!
Much love and wishes for a fabulous Summer !
Good that the shoe found a new home... how fun it will be to display. A bit of fairytale to catch your eye during the day is a lovely idea.
I could also move in to the first picture of the kitchen in a NY minute... what a beauty!
Dearest
Curtain up! Grab your coat
I've never 'met' anyone who sees beauty in life the way you do. I am such a realist that it is ALWAYS refreshing to come here and drift on your beautiul clouds. :)
I Thought that might surpirse you!
Oh I am so THRILLED that you enjoyed... Don't you just love that music? Teeeheeee... Yes, I plotted, giggled and giggled some more as I created... Thank you sooooo much for your encouraging words my dear dear friend!!!!
Love,
Penny

hello dearest
my word.. this is one of your most breathtaking posts yet! so very lovely ❤
our little fairy is deciding to arrive fashionably late and i am spending my time trying to calm a very nervous mummy and daddy who look like they might be facing a c-section in the next day or two.
i shall be looking after my little grandson this and next week so it is unlikely i will be able to post on my blog but i will pop along here and let you know of any news.
sending warmest hugs xxx from lily too, of course xxx
Anita.......breathtaking.....your vision, words and pictures to tell a story take me to a beautiful place that I want to stay in!! I am sure I would have TONS of company when I say that you NEED to do a book....capturing all of these wonderful inspirational thoughts and mini stories.....too beautiful to not share with the world!
Anita,
Thank you for a well timed message this morning that is beautifully delivered, as only you can do. This was EXACTLY what I needed this morning.
Much love,
Deb xoxo
Happy Monday...I am off and runnnnnnning but will soon have lots of time to stay a visit you for a while. xoxoxo

Congrats to Fee! And merci again for inviting me to such a tres amusant soiree! That was so much fun. I can hardly wait until the next one. And I didn't get to half the names on your attendants list! Maybe we should do that on a regular basis? Like once a month! I know some bloggers who do a Friday night virtual cocktail party and share recipes. Whaddya think?
But for now, a bientot!

Hello dear friend! How are you? Did you have a wonderful and creative day? I hope that you are making beautiful things.
I wrote a post you may fined interesting, about an artist that makes dresses, shoes out of paper.
Have a great day!

Hi Anita!!! Some of these photos really blow me away!! I love the lantern and the bird. Reminds me of Dawne's photos. And yes, it is so important what we choose to think about or say....the key to everything I would say :) Have a beautiful day and week, sweet Anita!!!!!

As always, love this and love to be taken away with your choices.
Hello! I came over to meet who won the Vintage by Nana giveaway from Burlap Luxe.
Give and you shall recieve!! You gave a giveaway and won a giveaway!
And I found a beautiful blog with a post that I needed today!
So thank you and congratulations!
Anita...
i started scraping
again...and i am loving
it...it really helps
creatively...and it
is a wonderful place
to visit...those
books of scraps!
Hi there, dear friend, thank you for stopping by. Glad you liked the Gift of Light tags, although they are a little more than a tag. ;) Those were actually made with parchment paper wrapped around tiny tea lights, so what you see is not a battery operated candle all the way to the top, but paper. They are so much fun to make.
I cannot wait for the mad tea party. Have you participated before? I'm more excited for that than for my own. hee...I told you I like being a guest more than a host. ;) Mine is more of an intimate gathering. Must visit Vanessa's page again to see some of the highlights from last year's madness. ;)
Have a beautiful day, love.
MUAH!
Aren't we the blessed ones to have won Burlap Luxe's incredible giveaway? So thrilled and also happy to have found your blog. When we get our books, I would love to compare thoughts and notes with you.
Blessings and Hugs,
Karen
Anita,
You always manage to give me goose bumps on my arms. The music the images. Sigh.... the photo of the girl and the tree...amazing.
The house on the river....!! leave me there and pick me up in a year... or never.

Dearest Anita!!!
How has your summer been going? It's HOT here!!! Whoa!!! We've been staying in the air conditioning the past few days to avoid the scorching heat.
I love your post with all the magical, fairytale looking homes.
That mint green color is stunning!!!! I LOVE it!!!!
I bought a vintage fur coat that has multi colored strips of leather in between the salt & pepper color fur; it's so unique!!! I have never seen anything like it.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
Hugs!!!! Shannon :-)
Dearest Anita, so glad you like the little presentation over at my blog! Just looked at your newest work, really gorgeous and artfully done! We have such humid weather here, it makes me tired. I want to roll on a lawnchair and sip cold tea all day ;)
And I am thankful for you and your sharing of your incredible talents :)
xo,
Nathalie
p.s. are you free?
Anita,
I came across this blog post about a museum of paper fashions and thought of you:

Congratulations to the winner if THE Shoe!
Ah, isn't life beautiful, just LOOK at that dove!! And the aqua moth, and the PINK parrot. I met a lady this weekend who was walking around with a pet powder-blue parrot on her shoulder. One only has to look around to see what a wondrous world it is, and be content in that. Indeed, happiness is a choice.
Hamish sends you 6 tail feathers and a Honk AND his undying affection!
