This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

It's the blues...........

I was looking for things that are beautiful and blue............I found that pink was easier. Yet blue is one of my favourite colours. It was just harder work to find the things I had hoped for. Here are some lovely gowns and things.......see what you think.
Blue flowers are always beautiful and when you get a great shot like this one, well it really shows the beauty.I would love to credit the photographer but I don't know who it is.

In the pink..............

Soft shades of pink are just so flattering and feminine........and when it comes to cakes and flowers, well, what could be better.

Pink is a soothing and calm colour when its pale. Perfect for a bedroom

Enjoy the beauty all around you, there is so much bad in this world that it is good to dwell on the beautiful and keep our minds above the rest.

Its easy to find beauty and to make something beautiful

Look for the good and the beauty in all things, you will find what you seek so dont look for the bad in people and things..........the world is made up of both good and bad, beauty and ugliness so look for the best and your life will be better for it.

Diamonds............

I was just commenting on a blog that had a caption that said "I would rather have flowers on my table than diamonds on my neck" ..........Not me. I love diamonds. Not for their worth, I wish they were worthless so that I could wear them on silver strands in my hair or sew them into fabric to wear. They are so pure, so lovely. A rainbow captured in a drop of dew frozen for all time. diamonds Pure as a snowflake and as clear as a cloudless sky. It reflects everything around it in a prism of rainbow colours. 1254128061B95cmE Diamonds make lovely jewelry and it would not matter if they cost one dollar or a million bucks they would still be the perfect gem. I never liked them really until I saw the crown jewels in the Tower of London. Then I saw it...........and wow. I was in love. The Cullinan diamond set in the scepter of England. Image1-CullinanI The Cullinan diamond is the largest rough gem-quality diamond ever found, at 3,105 cts. The diamond was presented to Great Britain’s King Edward VII who entrusted the cutting of the gem to the Asscher brothers. In 1908, Joseph Asscher cut the stone into 9 large stones and 42 small ones. Flowers will fade and die but ..... raindrops Diamonds are forever.............

Can't Help Loving Pink............

I just can not help finding these pretty pink things. I will have to do another Pink Saturday post. Its only Monday but here goes.
These are actual things in my house. I got the cushions at garage sales. Can you believe people would do all that work and then practically give them away. Or maybe they inherited them and they did not fit in. Well, I made space for them and added pink to my colour scheme.
Photobucket
The next pictures are not my own, I gather things I like from the web and so if I do inadvertently use your picture without credit I will be glad to remove it or give credit. I can not help but collect pretty pictures to share with everyone. Here are some lovely roses.
Photobucket
Then the beauty of roses and china. I will some day photograph my own china but for now here are some more borrowed treasures.
Photobucket

The little doll is one that I bought, its hand made and is in my lavender bedroom. Isn't she cute?
