The scent of lilacs always calms me. I went outside and picked a few. Placed in my vintage aqua jar, it's a serene sight. I need a little serenity from the chaos right now.
The sun was shining, and it looked beautiful against the weathered grey. Taking photos like these calms me as well.
I'm going to work a bit more, then crash.
Tomorrow is another day. See ya soon.

ReplyDeleteYou take lovely photos...and I love the blue glass with the purple lilacs! Oh how I wish I could smell them! Praying for you sweet Rosemary! Rest well!!
ReplyDeleteThe smell of fresh lilacs are so amazing! Take a deep breath - everything will fall right into place just as it should.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Sleep good and wake refreshed. Take one thing at a time...try not to look at the big picture or it may send you over the edge. I'm saying a little prayer.
ReplyDeleteHope things settle down and your lilacs are absolutely amazing. Across so many thousands of miles, it calms me down as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteBlue mason jars and lilacs are the perfect combo! Wishing you rest, peace and strength during this busy time.

all you stuff is beautiful and it will show
have a good time
I bet those lilacs smell heavenly. Please take care of yourself Rosemary...nothing is more important than YOU!
ReplyDeleteThat is the saying as I think it should be...... stop and smell the lilacs.

Sorry to hear you are overwhelmed. Look after yourself and schedule in some rest time too. You are important to many people. I'm glad you took time to stop and smell the lilacs though:) God bless x
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to figure out how you do so much. Take care!
ReplyDeleteRosemary - take a moment to stop and smell the lilacs... we don't want you to burn out. love, love, LOVE your blog and ideas. Many of which I have stolen to use in my own home. Looking forward to many new ideas and projects from you in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou know you're still fine if you can stop and 'smell the roses'. Or lilacs.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the most important things in life.
The strength of your spirit is just amazing, Rose!
Be blessed as many are blessed through you :)
Yes, definitely take a breath and take some time to recharge. You do amazing work and I want to thank you for all of the inspiration that you offer to us. I have been reading and re-reading several of your past posts and I came away with lots of ideas for future projects. I especially love your old world finish technique with gesso. Brilliant! I gave it a try on some old frames and a plastic Infant of Prague figure. I loved the results, did a post about them, and linked back to you. thanks again for a great blog!!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Kathleen
