Happy Mothers Day

An endless number of memories from my childhood are 

brought to mind just by the mention of the word “Home”

Walking up the lane to enter our house through the screen door,

where Mom welcomed me home from school, is a cherished memory. 

I also remember when the Bread man would come to our door and 

I got to pick a treat, whether it be Donuts or 

frosted covered Chelsea Buns.  I believe that within our homes 

is where we feel most secure, most peaceful and most happy. 

When I think of home I feel bliss.

Lets pour a cup of tea and walk down memory lane 

as we remember our Mom.

My Mother Mary’s favourite flower was the Iris

On this mothers Day
We all reflect on the Mother
we were blessed with.
I am truly thankful for my Mom
and today I especially miss her.
If your Mom is still in your life
Take a moment to express your love,
make her feel blessed.

My sweet Mom and me

Backyard Beauties

Loving our backyard view to our forest full of gorgeous birds

Of all these backyard beauties the Cardinal is my favourite

Yes, even a Turkey

Cardinal Visit

Morning dawned crisp and bright
Aloft from my dreams this night
Along the path all on our own
I wish you every joy I’ve known

On this bright morning loud and clear
His shrill echoed oh so near
Relishing first light, while sipping tea
The bird, the brook, the path, the trees

He sings not but for a spoken few
Yet now appears as if on cue
Snowflakes interlace with tearful eyes
As I look upwards to tree and sky

Whenever you should need me
Look to the cerulean skies
Raise your heart and soul upon the winds
To reveal a gladden red surprise

All things will be clear to you
Fate is in no one’s hands
You must let go
Let love expand

You’ll figure out
what you want to do
Keep doing your thing while staying true
Just keep being you…

Small Graces

Spring has Sprung....
Or so they say
Saw my first Robin yesterday
I am so looking forward to morning breakfast on our back porch
Happy equals Simple pleasures

The quiet gifts of ordinary life – Kent Nerburn

Be My Valentine

The Promise

  Fondest hearts touch
With love's impatient rush
Memories mirror another place
Where love echoes such sweet embrace
Another time in lusts surrender
Deeply woven souls together
Forever then, forever now
True loves promised eternal vow

New Beginnings

A warm Welcome to my followers and A Big Thank You to everyone for supporting my little blog...Stay tuned for new blog posts.

Last year proved to be very stressful and I'm now looking forward to sharing my heart and my cottage style décor.

Comfort & Joy & Christmas Decor

Christmas is such a magical time

  As a child I remember starring into a shiny colored globe hanging from our tree and getting lost in the reflection and in my imaginings. Our Christmas tree is the result of many years of lovingly collecting meaningful ornaments. Vintage keepsakes that have been passed down from my Mothers tree; cherished ornament gifts have been received from family and friends.  Why some are not ornaments at all , but have rightfully earned a place on our tree as important mementos.  My childhood pendant watch; my late daughter Chantelle’s wee baby doll; even an adorable tiny Avon strawberry perfume bottle found it’s way on the tree lol! As I walk through our home and gaze into the shiny bulbs I get lost in my childhood memories of Christmas past.

Being lost in doing of decorating our house with all my traditional ornaments and Christmas keepsakes that evoke so many loving memories. Christmas music fills our home and Bayberry Cinnamon candles set the mood ི From my vintage Tree Top Angel to many antique babbles and bulbs that adorn our tree  simply by unwrapping these mementos some how honor those who are absent, yet are here in my heart always.  Their loving spirits echoes all through the house. 

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas ♥ ღ❄
