It was SO worth putting teaching on the back burner for these exquisite pieces of art, hey?!
Absolutely gorgeous Anita.
I have never been on Etsy but I will look at your link.
Hope you are well and thank you for sharing the love.
Lots of love from me,
Gem xx x
Well that made me feel happy this morning. Winter is nearly over and Spring is nearly here. Happy days. Lovely post Anita. Hmmmmm and the bunny (insert licking of snout) Have a super Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning Anita...Ooh, I love your header today...so pretty and such lovely, cheery colours too!
Gene Kelly is fabulous, isn't he?
I'm wondering where is that pretty shop because the ladies of this house would definitely love to visit it and I also have a daughter who would love to try that delicious treat on the silver tray there!
Happy Sunday,
Susan x
AAAAAAAAAAAAh...such a sweet and happy post..makes my heart soar..and now i will be singing kenny's song all day...:)))
Love the art dearest ..love it..love it...:)
Hello Anita:
Such a happy post to lift the spirits on these somewhat gloomy, grey wintry days. And, what better way to encourage happy feelings than to talk of love and romance, whether it be for humans or animals, there can surely never be too much love in the world.Love is not just for Valentine's Day.....
Oh yes Anita I certainly will let you know if I Make the Purple Carrot Cake! Cheers to you this Sunday...love Dzintra xo
That is such a sweet and lovely post,
filled with images of things I love.
Thanks for taking the time to make and share it, have a nice day ♥
Anita how sweet and colourful!
I love your creations and these are just perfect~full of love!
Yes, it really doesn't take much to give love to all we are graced to meet.
Love overflowing to you dear friend xoxoxo
All my heart,
Deborah xoxoxooxoxo
Dearest Anita,
What a heart lift this blog post is, and your drawings always make me smile because you are somehow able to imbue them with just the right "cute factor". Oh, and including Kenny Rankin's music never hurts either because he is hands down one of my all time favorite singer-songwriters.
Love
Ruben
P.S., I know who that doggie is in the balloon with you. I have it on good authority that his name is Balzac and he is the purveyor of fine chocolates. :)
Dearest Anita,
so beautiful quote.I remember a song called 'love is in the air'. sooooo romantic. I love romantic things.
I feel valentine here, very nice graphics full of heart and sweets.
that son with his bunny are so cute.
wishing you a beautiful weekend and upcoming romantic valentine ;)
hugs to you
Awwwwww, Anita, love to see the little red hearts coming up here ,bringing back joyfulness and LOVE in the midst of coldness! So sweet your drawings my dear, just adore them. Do you have a nice weekend? I've just been to a work out to prepare for dinner with friends tonight - and now - just tea & blogs! Many hugs to you! xx
Pure magic..oh dear one...I soooo want you cards!!! They are stunning, and sooooo adorable..they have me written all over them. You have been working very hard! If I ordered some I wonder when they would arrive because I would want them for Valentines day!! Do you think that would be possible??
Love love love your sweet work...off to take a peek right now. xoxoxo
awesome!
love the motion!
these are just
darling!
darling!!!
ps...to see children putting words together to form a story...is indeed a thing of magic!!!
This just made me smile ;D Thank you, Anita!
Tes dessins sont fantastiques !
Un joli trait-d'union entre tes délicieuses images, qui font tourner les têtes et chavirer les coeurs !
C'est l'Amour !

Good Tuesday morning mon Amie, dreaming away to Paris right now... your cards are ADORABLE. Do I spy a glittering on the little red hearts? They are magically beautiful! The balloon is my favorite. I like the month of February because of all the celebrations going on in my home, we have three children celebrating their bd. Cake, balloons, banners, smiles, laughters, joy. Oh boy, bring February on!
Happiest of happy hugs for a glorious day Anita xx
Okay .....I cried just now
Yes really ....
I was so happy my son repared my laptop and the very first blog I visited was YOURS and I was so happy to be here again .
So I started to write a comment
righy from my heart and it was realy long and than
suddenly my laptop stopped and all was BLACK .
Oh no ......
I started the laptop and .....all was gone Oh NO
and I could not help it ....I cried .
Why did this happen WHY ....
I was here AGAIN and took a deep breath ....got myself a new coffee and decided OKAY
Just start all over .
It is a bit how my life has been Anite the past months
I had to say goodbeye to a lot
I now officially cannot and do not need to ....work anymore .
I have been greeving about that a lot
I loved my teachying job so much
But my life is now at home and in my house .
I no longer can go where I want
I can hardly walk and cannot stand for longer than a few minutes .
Limitated .....
I had to learn to find peace in being at home .
But I do have my home !
And I will keep an allowance ....
I know there still is so much to be happy about .
My children and my lovely granddaughter .....
And I am healthy ...Only my back and my legs heart a lot
So I have to take painkillers ....
And my life has been like my laptop
not working as I was used to
and also just giving up the things that were so normal.
I need to ask for help for a lot of things and I am SO NOT GOOD IN ASKING FOR HELP ....
I have been doing things alone and on my own for so long ....
It's all getting me out of my comfort a lot ....
But ....when my friend received his new longs and was transplanted
A MIRACLE happened
not only to him and his wife
also to me ....
I got the message ..... The future is what counts ....
I never was a Future-girl
I always feared a bit for the future I was so much worried about the future being a single mom.
I did the best I could and
NOW I now I did allright ....
My children are doing more than allright They are beautiful young people .Blessings !
Without my job and without my children there is a new future .
Maybe I am being blessed at my age to be at home .....
I learned a lot and now I finally know ......
It's all about HERE AND NOW AND THE FUTURE .....
You have told me over and over
You adviced me and helped me
I had to learn to let it in .
You can hear things over and over but when you are unable to let it in ......
I am so thankfull you never gave up on me
Thank you Anita for being here !
Big HUG
L'amour , toujours l'amour, c'est très important dans notre vie, aimer et être aimer! n'est-ce pas?

Bravo,bravo!! Yes, love is in the air! Wonderful post,wonderful music, wonderful YOU! Sweet heart you are special, thank you for your art to us. The way I would describe your blog would be:FRESH HAPPY LOVE !!!!
Love visiting you dear.
Much love, Rayanne
Do you do custom cards???
Awh Anita! You make me blush. Thankyou.
It is so fun to wake up and see your comment to me. That puts a big smile on my face. I had a crazy busy day yesterday and today is shaping up to being similar. Whew. I have to catch my breath.
Hoping your day is lovely, (hug) Renae
My darling friend! This post is an embodiment of Love, Happiness, Joy... and I feel a warmth envelops my body and a joyous smile appears on my face... Your drawings are fantastic and I am honored to have an illustration of you as a little girl framed on my desk. It remands me every day that " The Greatest of These is Love"
Thank you dearest Anita for the gift you are giving with every post on your blog and every kind word on mine.
Sending light, love, hugs and warmest thoughts your way.
This post makes me happy!
Hello, Renee at Simple Sequins referred me to your blog because we both make cards (I think that is so sweet). I love your original art and sentiments. These are fantastic clean and simple card designs.
Dearest Anita!!!!!
I adore these beautiful Valentines images!!!!! I remember in grade school making a special "mailbox" in class and we'd decorate the box and then make little Valentines for all the kids in our class and put them in the boxes on Valentines Day.
There's a tornado watch in our area as I type this. I can hardly believe that it's January and we have 70 degree temps. with severe weather moving in.
I'd settle for a beautiful snowfall!!!!
Hope your weather is much better!!!!!
Luv & Hugs,
Shannon
How did I miss this post?!?
This is simply adorable... and your illustrations are so so sweet!
How interesting to see your incredible range of talent...from producing a magnificent work of art with your stunning gown...to these adorable illustrations.
A true artist: there are no limits to your fabulous talents!
It's wedding season for me and I'm so incredibly busy with my brides and my new wedding collection.
I take a "breather" here and there...and have some fun with Pinterest. How do you do it?? It's soooo addicting! I find myself going back two or three times a day just to pin something! LOL
I hope to connect with you soon and have another long chat. This time on SKYPE. :)
Miss you!
xoxox
Love your beautiful work,
my sweet, sweet friend!
Off to look at your shop.
I have a feeling you are
probably SOLD OUT after
this post!!!
See you tomorrow!
xo Suzanne
Anita, I've just been at Emily's place (The French Hutch) and I couldn't wait to rush over to your page to let you know that as soon as I saw those amazing dress displays I thought about you. As I mentioned to Em, I'm sure you can pull those off with your eyes closed. ;) LOVE the broken pottery one, but all those marshmallows are yummy. Just can't wear it to a camp fire or anything like that though. ;)
Love it when I see something that reminds me of special blogging friends.
Hope you're enjoying your evening, love.
XOXO's,
Marcia
By the way, I think the illustration of the girl blowing kisses looks exactly like you. They're all wonderful.
Absolutely lovely, Anita! Love your drawings. And a great Valentine's idea. Don't know about you but I'm ready for February.
Cheers to you,
Kirsten
Went into Labor Valentines Day
56 years ago. My sweetheart was RENEE.
It is a very special Day for me.

Dearest Anita, I am exhaling with sweet pleasure after reading this post. I am a romantic at heart, Anita, like you I believe? Ladurée was one of my favourite haunts when living in Paris!
Anita, I would like to send you a gift, if I may. It is not a hare but a book. Would you mind sending me your postal address, please?
Warmest wishes from rainy France.
Stephanie
You are getting so darn fancy with all this love in the air. How in the world do you ever make your artwork fly?
Hearts floating...I caught one. It landed on a gnomes hat in Bellingham Washington. Just thought you should know, one got away.
Love your designs Anita. I wish you lots of love and success with all you set your heart to do!
Anita, thanks for that lovely comment yvonne
Morning dear one!!! Happy mid-week..I was so happy to see your sweet encouraging comment waiting for me this morning! You always have a way with words.
Take it easy today myfriend..gathering up all your energy for teaching tomorrow.
Off I go.......
hugs!
I have been under the weather for the last week. But what a treat was waiting for me! I loved it Anita! YOUR gifs are so cool!! I so enjoyed each and every image, and if one isn't cheered up by this....well there isn't a chance for them. Have a happy day!! Lisa
What a wonderful post! You have definitely inspired me. Thank you so much! Just beautiful, everything!
Jody
Dearest Anita,
I know you are out and about, but wanted to thank you so much for your heartfelt words this morning.
Enjoy your day!

Penny
Anita, I have been thinking of your art, and I think it reminds me of The Little Prince's illustrator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (This is my husband's favorite book!)
You are so talented! Reach for the stars!
Nita, your new designs are so sweet and wonderful! Love each one , but that little girl with blue dress stole my heart!
Love you,
Tita
Ps. My mom is here visiting us, I sugared the book you made me with her. He was in awe! Thank you again!grin

Cool post tomorrow featuring a certain french teacher and artist we both know. hahahaha
Dear sweet Anita, thank you for coming today, love to see your smiling face! Wish you luck with the new clients for the paper dress and knock on wood you'll get what you deserve. It's LOVE and creativity that gets us through winter, no? Till soon, bonne unit! xox
Hey beautiful Anita...your art makes my heart dance! You are such an inspiration to me. I can't listen to the harp without thinking of you now!
This is a GORGEOUS post my friend!
sending hugs...
Hello Anita,
The last day of January...can you believe it...already? Thanks for your visit. I will try and post some photos soon of M with his new do...although his hair must grow really fast, because it looks long again. Ha! Actually, the photo I sent to you recently with him on the bench, his hair was cut there, but it's hard to tell really. The back was the most noticeable.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!
Heidi
What a romantic post, dear Anita.........soooooo magical!!! The most of all I love your art.........thank you so much for your Valentine inspiration!!!! Have a wonderful weekend, my dear friend,
hugs Jade & Sheila
Hi, Anita!!!! I love this post, yours illustrations are lovely! And I love your new header! I'm sorry, but I haven't time to translate the post. I installed a translator on my blog, but I will try to translate the post in the future.Yes, my dear friend. I had technical problems with blogger and internet, but it's all sorted. I'm back!! :) I'll be back to normality, and anytime we can talk about my bears :) If you're still interested, of course ;)
Kisses, my friend and have a nice weekend!

Awh, I see the cool "featured" sign. Yay! It sort of goes with your blog, if you consider all of the movies you refer to, hahahaha.
Thank you dear sweetness, and see you on Monday!
pure delight, my dear, happy month of love!
Hello Lovely Anita, Your art work is precious and so ALIVE with love and good cheer. Gene Kelly, the ballerina in red, and the perfect song all make a most beautiful post. Thank you.
Hello Dear. This is my first time at ur blog world and truly enjoyed it and will visit regularly! Many blessings for 2013:)
What a sweet compliment you left me on my blog, about the photo of the clock....really I think it was a fluke!I need a better camera, I'm working on it.
I'm off to purchase your note cards...YIPPIE!!!
Have a happy week end dear friend!
I forgot to say how that Monet sky turned out. Here's what I did,
Picasa 3
and all I did was push the I'm feeling lucky button! And what it did was make the sky a little more deeper. I loved it,so glad you did too!
Happy weekend...hope yours is filled with lots of sweet moments...thank you for sending my cards so fast...keeping my fingers crossed the postman will be wearing roller-skates this time.
Off to have some daughter time today....but right now it is morning teatime! xoxo Love to you.
Hello dearest,
the beautiful rhinestone strings are actually made from the most divine tiny chain you have ever seen.It was made in France and is vintage. I bought this from a friend who is an antique dealer. It is so exquisite that I find it hard to use in my artwork. There were many yards on the little card when I bought it and I think now that I will only use it as it is...to adorn many vignettes.
hugs for the day...
I LOVE GENE KELLY's SINGIN IN THE RAIN! And I love your new banner, AND the utterly charming artwork you are creating. It has your signature all over it, a style all your own. It's what I have told you all along, concerning your artwork, it requires a special talent to say so much with simple lines, but you are able to do it beautifully.
Hi Anita!
Thank you for the kind comment you left the other day...
Oh it's been so long that I've been absent ... I feel - way tooooo long! N'est pas?!?!
I literally laughed out loud when I read your "there's something in the air" title...
Stop by and look at the collage I made for Amanda's engagement ...
I worked on it in the wee hours last night, and then to see your post!
Anita, I LOVE your valentines ~ how adorable and precious.
I must stop by and see your new work.
Family, school {especially school} have kept me so busy.
So many teachers are discouraged, Anita, you would not believe the insane state exam that awaits my sixth graders.
I will most likely write about it soon. People should be forewarned.
Anyway, not to take away from this beautiful post about love.
I thank God every day that I am surrounded by the love of a sweet husband, family and friends. That is what matters.
Who knows, I may end up in Texas someday and open up a little coffee and tea shop!
So, I will let God be my Shepherd and not worry too much :-)
Hope you are doing well, my dear.
I hope that your winter been gentle.
God bless you always,
Maria
Oh Anita no purple carrot cake so far this weekend! Busy making a sewing kit for bushfire victims in Tasmania but hopefully during the week I will get to it...Meanwhile...Bon Appetit...love Dzintra xo
Sending lots of love your way, dearest...and enjoying this delicious post once again...
BISOUS!
What a great idea Anita...I might just do that! Oh dear, this birthday thing....I'm getting a bit freaky about it...you see I am the next big 0 number and that is scary!
One of those aqua drawstring pouches will make it's way to Tasmania as part of an appeal for sewing kits which I am at present putting together for one of the souls that has lost everything....I just can't imagine that!
You have a wonderful week sweet friend...love Dzintra xo

What a beautiful post.
Thank you for suggesting Etsy. I was just thinking about what to get my daughter and I think I will do Etsy and have it delivered to her.
Hey Anita :) love the animation (of course!) and by the way there is not much more to it! did you use photoshop, i wish i could help more, it’s so hard to explain the techniques in writing… xo sandra
Stopping by again for another look:) You are so talented Anita. Thank you so much for visiting this morning:)

Anita,
Sorry I confused you. I had to put the Tea Time Tuesday post up early because sand puts her links up on Monday evenings.
Here is the link to the post I mentioned your Valentines:

It is also linked up to Mosaic Monday, so lots of people will see your work.

Je vous remercie encore une fois de Anita m'encourage à poursuivre ma passion pour la création.
J'aime Sweet Little boîtes rustiques, ils ont une façon de s'habiller toute table avec l'histoire émouvante.
J'ai été très occupé peindre mon lit en fer d'une nuance de blanc avec une touche de gris.
Avoir une belle semaine.

PS. I never tire a visit with you my talented friend, you awwww! us with your art, postings, and your beautiful visits.
Happy week to you.
Hi my sweet friend! That is so weird about that email...someone else had trouble as well and got that message...hmmm
Funny about you mom's dream. Haha...long live Georgie Porgie... :)
How was your day? I guess spring will have to wait a bit for you guys. We had such a mild winter.
My due date is 8/19 which is actually my mom's b-day. I know she would be thrilled if the baby came then. We get to find out in a couple months the sex of the baby. So excited.
Thanks for the visit my friend and I hope you had a fun day with your students.
Love,
Heidi
