A quick and cheery Tuesday greeting

Good morning, sweet dears, how are you each this week? I hope that life is smiling upon you and that autumn has come to all those it has been eluding (French Charming, honey, I’m thinking of you as I say that). I’m feeling a bit unwell at the moment, but never like to let more than a day or two pass without updating this site, if at all possible, so I thought I’d pop by before grabbing a bit more recuperative shut-eye to say a warm hello to all of you all!

I’m afraid I wasn’t able to get a “Pretty Link Roundup” post put together this past weekend, but I’ll strive to have an extra big link-filled post up next Sunday or Monday. This week I also hope to publish the first in a “miniseries” of posts devoted to each decade of the twentieth century. I very recently came up with the idea to do such a series and have been bursting with thoughts surrounding it ever since. I can’t wait to launch my first post on this theme, and over the coming weeks nine more – each one centred around a different decade of the 20th century.

There’s no way I’d leave you with an image-less post, but as I couldn’t find the type of photo I’d had in mind for this entry (I was aiming for a lovely 40s or 50s gal sporting a bed jacket or another type of sleepwear sitting or resting in bed), I decided to share a selection of entirely random, wonderfully lovely Flickr images that have been inspiring my heart, mind and soul lately. May they do the same for you, too!

I apologize about that and am happy to assist you with finding any of the photos used here, if you’d like.}


Sending oodles of wishes for a stellar day to everyone!!!

  21. Good morning, sweet dears, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your immensely caring words and well wishes. I really do mean it when I say they help me to feel a bit better.

    My health is very "touch and go". I can have days where it's not to bad and then weeks or even months of being extremely ill, I never know exactly how I'll feel the next day, but I try not to worry too much about such things and embrace every good moment I get to its fullest.

    Thank you again for your beautiful comments (Landgirl, I hadn't noticed the similarity between that lovely model and MM, but you're absolutely right, they do look a lot alike. According to the Flickr page, the model's name is Raspberry Rose: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24763106@N03/2752738599/, which I think is a wonderfully pretty thing to call oneself, don't you?), everyone, they mean so very much to me!

    Huge hugs & joyful Thursday wishes to each of you!
    ♥ Jessica
