Ah Martinealison, it is also my pleasure and I am happy to see you! Thank you and kisses to you too! Tsup! Tsup!
By the way, The primary image still has bamboo, just in case my blog friends will wonder whether I have abandoned my bamboo project. Hah!
TSUP!!!!♥♥♥
You of few words, I love the simple *one* word in the header!
XXOO~~♥
Anne
Sounds as though you love Ella too! That song came to my head as I read your words even before I clicked on the song link. I noticed the bamboo.
Three cheers! I had almost given up hope that there was someone else with the same values.
Good morning dearest sisterfriend.
...and a lovely birthday morning it is here. At 7a.m. my eldest granddaughter is picking me up and taking me to the farmers' market where India has already taken my younger granddaughter to work and we shall feast on bacon and eggs and goodies.
Thank you so much for being my friend and for the lovely birthday wishes!
Mountains of love . . . Arija
I love spending hours talking to a friend
About nothing
And everything
And laughing
And crying
I love old fashioned drawings
of good old fashioned memories
like yours
I love you.
Tsup
me too! to all of the above, love all your images too, my kids constantly tell me how old fashioned I am and that's fine by me!
Thank you, Anne! Tsup!
Jan! I love Ella Fitzgerald. I had all of her songbooks when I was 24 years old. I was old-fashioned then! Hahaha! I want to see the different bamboo varieties in your farm.
Happy Birthday my beloved sisterfriend, Arija! I have a special post for you! Seeeeeeeeee!!! TSUP! TSUP!!!
Bella, I love doing the same.
I also love old-fashioned pencil drawings, colored with modern colors, propelled by old-fashioned themes such as love, friendship, family, and other old-fashioned virtues.
I love you!
TSUP!
k.h.! Isn't it great to be old-fashioned in that sense? I am proud of it too! Tsup!
Ces,
I am so moved by this post...If you only knew how wonderful it is to find someone that expresses who I am and what I believe so very well. I am old-fashioned to the core and often think I should have been born a long long time ago, when simpler things still had value, and there was not this crazy rushing about madly to absolutely no end...The victorian era perhaps, although I am a strong woman and would have liked to have been independent too...conundrum...
Thank you for sharing yourself with us and for moving my heart yet again. You are a dear dear woman, and I would be honored to call you my sisterfriend.
Hugs and smiles
And somehow I neglected to mention that these drawings are just too perfect for this post. I love them all!
Hugs
Oh Julia, somehow I had the feeling that you and I would have similar ideas, after all, we both appreciate each others' art. I don't think I would have wanted to live during the Victorian Era, the Edwardian Era, perhaps. In fact, I had a skirt suit tailored in linen just like the ones they wore at "A Room With A View and have boots and shoes to match. I also had a matching straw hat. I got the hat from Laura Ashley. I love classic tailored suits, although at the urging of a friend who wore brightly colorfed suits, even a camouflaged mini skirt suit, I started wearing colored clothes and have several suits from Chicos. I think I share a lot of values with my visitors. I pretty much can easily detect selfish and self-serving people, I cannot stand charming, sycophantic people who in the end are just looking out for what they can get for themselves. Although, I am slow to sever relationships and struggle at doing so, I am trying...I am trying!
I believe in you. I believe you are all things good and kind and faithful and strong, feisty with just the right amount of hot spices. If you were a dish of food I would eat you.
**kisses** Deb
