I found this heart, on one of the shelves we like to call our Cabinette du Curiosites.
Sandstone cubicles where things of curios and question value is continually added and left..
The heart is carved out of stone and amongst finds collected mostly from walks on the beach, objects that friends added, stone balls, wood carvings, quirky market finds..just all simple nothings but curios with memories..
Just a few steps down from the house, there is a boardwalk that take us to our "special" place where we collect shells and driftwood. Today was such a day. It was a perfect summers day
the beach house:
Dd is growing up so fast..it seems like just the other day we took this stroll
there is excitement in a stroll down to the beach , every time..
still the same favorit tin pail to collect treasures..
Have a delightful Saint Valentine's day !

Hoy con algo más de tiempo que de costumbre y encontrándome algo mejor, me he dejado llevar y he visto blogs de amigos a los que suelo leer y vuelvo a entrar en otros que me han dejado un buen impacto, así di con el tuyo, que me llamó la atención y me detuve a ojearlo y finalmente no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho, ha merecido la pena.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo

ReplyDeleteHoy me he dedicado a ser honesta conmigo misma y a dar las gracias a tod@s los que me habéis animado y apoyado en estos días.
ReplyDeleteAntes le comentaba a una amiga, que no imaginaba una acogida tan cariñosa y buena por vuestra parte, realmente me parecía hasta una tontería hablar de mis sentimientos,mis recuerdos y su relación con la gastronomía, pero veo que por variar, me he vuelto a equivocar,
Vuestras respuestas me han ayudado mucho, me siento mejor por dentro y hasta diría que también por fuera.
Dar las gracias es lo que quiero hacer y lo que estoy haciendo, por haberme dedicado unas palabras, por haberme ayudado.
Hoy no mucho más, mi eterna gratitud.
