Tony and I just got back last night from a quick, massively needed "homemade long weekend" to a region of BC called the Kootenays (he'd never been there before and it had been about 20 years since my last visit, so one was definitely due!). We had a terrific time and I'll be blogging about our travels in at least a couple posts here later this spring. I hope that you had a wonderful time away, too, my sweet friend.<br /><br />Tons of hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-21086673038150023602016-04-18T07:26:48.501-07:002016-04-18T07:26:48.501-07:00Most of the magnolias in the gardens locally are t...Most of the magnolias in the gardens locally are the whiter ones but I have seen one pink one.

How handy and fun would that be? I madly adore the season you're experiencing now though. Fall is my favourite, hands down, and I openly admit to craving it (intensely) all through the rest of the year. <br /><br />Essie polishes rock! I own more of them than any other brand and rarely go more than a few months without adding a new one to the collection. Go Ginza is really pretty, too. I like how it's slightly more pink toned than Lilacism. That makes it especially nice for pink, red and blue based outfits. <br /><br />Many hugs & thanks for both of your wonderfully nice blog comments yesterday,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-46753017365899711812016-04-07T17:15:51.643-07:002016-04-07T17:15:51.643-07:00This post is making me so sad that it's autumn...This post is making me so sad that it's autumn in Australia and not Spring!! But only because I love warmer weather so much and don't enjoy winter at all. But I guess you've had a really long, cold winter so it's about time you get some warmth! I love Essie nail polishes, I actually have a really similar shade called Go Ginza on my toenails right now, even when it's cold I love pastel colours so I can pretend it's spring for me too, haha.<br /><br /><a href="http://littlehenrylee.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">jessica - littlehenrylee.com</a>little henry leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024952001696475133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-62173186944740140552016-04-05T16:34:34.027-07:002016-04-05T16:34:34.027-07:00Thank you very much, sweetheart.

I've definitely have to see if Lilac Path is available up here in Canada. I haven't caught wind of it before, but that certainly isn't to say that we don't have it here. <br /><br />There are some honeysuckle trees in our neighbourhood and I all but try to live outside 24/7 when they're in full bloom.

"Romance" is a powerfully beautiful scent. Not too strong or cloying, nor saccharine sweet. It's elegant, mature, and truly appealing (to me at least). I suspect that as long they keep making it, I'll be a loyal customer. <br /><br />It really would be! I can count on one hand the number of times I've thus far ridden in a convertible in my life and can think of few cars I'd love to own more than a vintage gem like that beauty. It would suit our sizzling hot Okanagan summers sooo well. Perhaps some day! <br /><br />Tons of hugs & joyful springtime wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-8628963363721052682016-04-04T12:30:00.088-07:002016-04-04T12:30:00.088-07:00Beautifully said, Freya darling, there really is a...Beautifully said, Freya darling, there really is a great sense of renewal and lightness to this season.

I appreciate and enjoy elements of each season, but winter is usually the toughest to get through and longest lasting here, so when spring finally arrives (as it did here this weekend from a weather perspective), it's all I can do not to dance in the streets from jubilation I feel. <br /><br />Aren't lilacs incredible? They're one of my very favourite flowers, too, and their scent always seems to brighten my mood. Unfortunately, they give Tony a headache (interestingly, I've known several guys, but far fewer women, over the years for whom such range true), so I usually only bring a small bunch inside and keep them in my wee office/craft room downstairs so that they don't trouble him.<br /><br />Three big cheers for sewing and updating your garden furniture. Your backyard is going to look so amazing! <br /><br />Tons of hugs & thanks for your wonderfully nice comment,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74517284287946470462016-04-04T12:23:50.790-07:002016-04-04T12:23:50.790-07:00Well said, lovely Melanie.

It truly does, and you know, I feel like I need that sense of renewal immensely right now (as the first quarter of the year was a fairly heavy and very, very hectic one), so I'm just revealing in spring's return and the lighter, brighter days and mindsets alike that are calling April home. <br /><br />Many hugs & joyful April wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-47665659606367720742016-04-04T12:21:18.136-07:002016-04-04T12:21:18.136-07:00Ooohh, how awesomely exciting!
