Angel Wings!!!

I’ve started decorating a little bit for Valentines day. These are new this year. I have a little thing

for angels and cherubs so as soon as I saw these I knew they were coming home with me. They are

on top of a small stack of books I keep on my fireplace. The ribbon is seam binding from one of

my favorite shops…Smitten!!! Isn’t that a great name?

Lots of Love!!!

They’re Blooming!!!

My paperwhites are still in hiding but the amaryllis have bloomed!!! Aren’t they GORGEOUS!!!

The best thing about them…aside from their beauty is that they were a gift from the young man

that works at the nursery that I frequent. He ran out to my car one day and handed me the bulbs

and said Feliz Navidad!!! Too sweet!!! Angels are among us everywhere!!!

Lots of Love!!!
