You will find the occasional building here that channels that look, but they're always centuries newer than the real deal and usually from the last 50 years or so actually (at least in Western Canada, which is one of the newest parts of our young nation).<br /><br />I hope that you're doing well and having a splendid start of autumn, my dear friend.<br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-81860553620921826272015-10-01T15:12:08.679-07:002015-10-01T15:12:08.679-07:00This red dress really suits you, it looks so lovel...This red dress really suits you, it looks so lovely.

Thank you! I ...You're the sweetest. dear Sanne. Thank you! I know, eh - we notice these little things about ourselves that 99% of others would never see - or at least say anything about if they did - and feel like we need to point them out for own well being. The more self-conscious we are, the more we do so, and I've always been quite self-conscious, so sometimes I just have to see little things like that. I find I do so less and less the older I get though, which is good - more we can just love and accept ourselves in the moment without any qualifiers, the better. <br /><br />Ooohh, the perfumery bag is marvelous!!! All of Vendula's offerings are, IMO. I especially love their shops/houses and seasonal offerings. <br /><br />A car is a big, amazing gift for sure, but I think that you definitely deserve a present to open on your birthday - everyone does, especially when they're a good, caring, beautiful soul like you. Drop hints and hopefully he'll pick up on them. :)<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy start of autumn wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-83271642241032253292015-09-22T23:26:01.497-07:002015-09-22T23:26:01.497-07:00Wow, Jess.

It reminds me of a play farm from my childhood, do put a few small plastic cows and pigs in it for fun. :) I went to their site, which I shouldn't have, because now I am hopelessly in love with perfumery box bag. I have to tell DH that I want this for my birthday, but he doesn't always listen, and he gave me a brand new winter car in May, so I don't think I deserve more, sigh. Your dress is sooo lovely, and please dear, stop complaining about it making your hips fuller. I didn't notice at all and you are such a lovely little petite fairy. Tell Tony that he, again, have done a fabulous job with this photoseries. I love that you have mixed in photos of the roses, and I really love the light in the photos. Wishing you both a lovely day. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-87804987587445971772015-09-21T12:25:22.578-07:002015-09-21T12:25:22.578-07:00You're the sweetest, honey.
