Flowers and Meet a friend

"Earth laughs in flowers."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

All these beautiful images are taken from Country living and Country Home magazines. I just adore them. Just needed something beautiful and calm for today. There is something truly special and unique in Nature's ability to restore one's spirit and peace.

I wanted to introduce you to a special friend of mine. Jazz and I became friends a good 12 years ago. I would describe Jazz as down to earth, friendly, a crazy animal lover, a good friend, and someone who, like me, is creative. She does the most amazing acrylic paintings of lillies. She recently did some fondant animals and a cake for a friend and I was completely amazed. It was her first time making these fondant animals and she is an instant pro! So please hop on over and say hello and welcome her to the blogging world, as she just started her blog!
