Dear Colette it's so nice to have plans and dreams for this brand new year.I'm also longing to be out in my garden but at the moment there is not much to do but watch the melting snow.I'm already dreaming of the first soft springday.
Have fun dreaming and creating, x Renilde
Bonjour Colette! Sounds like a very healthy and happy New Year for you. Your photographs make my heart stop...especially of your linens. Hope you open that online shop soon! So glad you entered the blog world...you have so much talent to share. My list of to do's is so similar to yours...its going to be a great year. XOXO Trish
Long list of must-do's here also, I'll be happy if I get to half. Love your images you're a very good photographer. Glad to hear you're up and about, stay healthy. Happy New Year!
Debra,
We need to do a lot of the same things. I'm proud of you for getting your thoughts all sorted out and down on paper so soon. I haven't been that focused yet, but you have definitely inspired me. Happy New Year! Mona
Colette, beauty all around you my dear, and a soulful heart you have for all things Brocante.
Love the garden can you come give me pointers.
See you soon into the new year!!
Happy New year....

Great list of to-do's Colette, so glad to hear that your year is getting off to a good start.

Hello Colette-I wish you a very Happy New Year. I also have a long list of "to-do's". I just know it will take me longer than a year! First I must tend my roses...it is time to prune them in California. And after that I must start my long list.
Sweet friend, I wish you a Happy New Year filled with many blessings for you and your family.
Hello Collete..wishing you a Happy New Year. Your photos belong in a magazine...gorgeous.
Love the wall of Jasmine...
Take care.
