The carnation got a bad rap...perhaps the green dyed version "nipped it in the bud". But, as usual, I love the older, more natural versions! We are clearly both suffering the same garden withdrawal...won't be long now, though!!!!!XOXO TrishTrouvaishttp://trouvais.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888790631806562782.post-59138667908445934232012-02-21T13:40:39.519-05:002012-02-21T13:40:39.519-05:00I stopped by to read this (very lovely) post the o...I stopped by to read this (very lovely) post the other day, and when I tried to publish a comment, it didn't save.<br />But... oh, such a lovely post.

What a lovely word you have just left. ...Oh Nella,<br /><br />What a lovely word you have just left. You articulated it so well; all of us need validation, how very very true. Well dear one, your artistry is fabulous, and it comes from YOU. That is what I love about blogging. In the "real" world, people we work with or live near don't always have a forum to share their ideas. But here, we can share and discover each other and in turn, encourage each other. It is beautiful. Continue with your lovely work, it is stunning and all we can ever do is appreciate it, value it and who knows what magic it will create!<br /><br />Be well, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888790631806562782.post-24130544815943537682012-02-19T12:55:11.517-05:002012-02-19T12:55:11.517-05:00Such a beautiful post, Nella!

I SO LOVE your English pottery with the images....and your book...OMGOODNESS, your linen book! I make books you know, and I see the time and effort and LOVE AND BEAUTY you have put into yours! Oh how I wish I could meet you to talk about the things that you enjoy making. I too collect the brass hardware found on old albums and IF YOU need to find brass embellishments for your wares, I have a source from Etsy where I get these items for my craftwares for my shop.<br /><br />THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
