Her Majesty Graciously

... thanks ME in an adorable card with six pictures of her amazing life.  Lovin' that Liz.  Elizabeth R.  So famous she doesn't even need to use a last name.  The pictures wouldn't copy so use your imagination of a very young Queen riding her horse and a bejeweled Queen smiling with her jaunty smile and jazzy ruby crown.



                 Thank you for your message to The Queen on the                        occasion of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee

I send you my grateful thanks for the words of loyalty and support which you have so kindly sent on the occasion of

the Sixtieth Anniversary

of my Accession to the Throne.

I'm standing on the balcony doing my best Queen wave at you.  My Corgis are bowing down.  Wave back now and thanks for stopping by.

Of what does she dream?

Every Inchie Monday

  Last week's category was Glow.  (The rubber duckies and little butterfly glow in the dark.)  I painted the background with a neon paint but it doesn't seem to show up, does it?

and this week it is Dream:

a Chippewa inspired mini Dream Catcher that, legend has it, will catch all of the good dreams and funnel them through the centre then they slide down the feathers to the sleeping person.

   

Just received (to read and review) The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley.  Elle Germany says it is "a really fine page turner."

and then we watched this animated feature:

Puss in Boots movie with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek.  Spanish speaking, sword fighting cats that like adventure can be funny after all.  Every movie preview trailer they played were the same dark, dreary and depressing dreck so this was cheer-filled and just plain delightful for a real change.  Not a masterpiece but some pretty visuals and a few laughs and who doesn't need a good laugh.


Our first snowfall of the year fell tonight.  I broke down and turned on the heat.  Yesterday, we had the air conditioning on as we sipped our pretty in pink Cranberry Cosmopolitans,  today sweaters and hot tea.




Rêves doux.
Sweet dreams. xoxo

Happy Valentine's Day

The birthday party is over and fun was had by all.

The old guy who delivered the birthday bouquet to me actually called me up and said he was standing outside my door and he wanted to know where I lived.  Sort of odd.

Ever-perfect son had an oh-so-cute cake made up for me with an Eiffel Tower decoration.  Buttercream goodness with a raspberry filling and layers of mousse.  It was incredibly delicious.

Mmmm.

Love is everywhere.  Hope you are feeling it.
