Today was my birthday and it was a lovely day spent celebrating with my family. I was surrounded by love and generosity and I feel very blessed! I wanted to share a few pictures with you from the day! ...

It was the May long weekend this past weekend but I was so busy that I didn't have any time to relax and really enjoy it! - so today I have carved out some time to spend taking pictures and de-stressing. It's amazing how many small and simple things can bring me pleasure. The fact that it was warm and sunny enough that I could take a little walk made me near giddy! Perhaps it is finally time for Spring! I even had some time to make two lace gillyflowers for the shop! Be sure to take a peek at them and the few other treasures I listed there. These photos are of a little vignette I set up on the coffee table with a new little tea tray of mine. I purchased it black and painted it a shabby cream colour. Happy Spring!

Spring cleaning is underway and I have been tidying and sorting - moving things here and there and I thought while everything was out I would take some photos! It all looked so pretty spread out on the dining room table. You all know how much I love antique china. This is a collection of mostly Limoges china all painted with pink roses (of course!). I love the soft colours and the pretty shapes. European china, especially Limoges and Prussian, is all so delicately crafted. I am always on the hunt for that special piece!

This is my "wishful thinking" post. It is still snowing and cold outside but the shops have decided that it is spring here in Canada so I bought a bouquet of beautiful pink roses and proceeded to pretend right along with them! These roses were so beautiful and in spite of the weather they lasted quite a few days and had a lovely scent. I kept them long for awhile and then cut off the heads and put them in a bowl. Happy spring!
Here are some new spring inspired pretties in the Etsy Shop:
