More Petals!

Yay! I have new flowers today! This time, they doll up the dining area. :)

Don't they look great?

Where are my dessert plates?

I have almost everything in my house but I have no dessert plates. I have been shopping for AGES but nothing- absolutely NOTHING can remove my first love from my heart- Royal Albert white dessert plate with gold prints (I made a mistake in my previous post claiming that it's turquoise and gold- sorry folks, my bad). I remembered that it looked so wonderfully opulent, decadent and victorian that really, I could just eat the plate for dessert.

I had guests yesterday and had no dessert plates to serve the sweet bites in! How terrible!

Please- I need to get on with my life. If you know of something better that I can move on to, do me a favour and let me know soon.

In Love with Flowers

New hydrangea for the coffee table. Doesn't it look fabulous? :) I love what it does to the space! It instanteously breathes life to an otherwise lifeless area and the soft pastel colours soothe the senses.

I am certainly looking forward to experimenting with more fleurs! Whee! :D

Trust

Hello friend,

If you are reading this, firstly I want to thank you for coming to my home with your loved one. You have blessed my husband and I greatly. You have amazed us with your optimism and faith you have in God despite setbacks. Like you say, I am convinced that the Lord is with you. How can He not be? Even when you meet obstacles, the Lord is firmly holding your hand and helping you through them- slowly but surely.

Though you are young, you are the one who is wise in the faith because you can see God- and did so simply.

You know what? I am not worried for you at all because the favour of the Lord is with you.

Take heart, my dear.

This song we listened to last night repeated itself in my mind. I woke up this morning and listened to it again in the quietness of my home.

I dedicate it to you here.

Trust, by Six Pence None the Richer
