"The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on."
  Emily Dickinson

Stand shadow less like silence, listening

To silence."

November post - "By Invitation Only"

This month post is about blogging,

in Marsha's words:

Do you remember when you 1st started blogging? 

Remember how much it meant to each of us to have a new follower/friend?

And, 

remember how we would have adored being pointed out to all the blogging world by another blogger, 
a well-read blogger?

Well, here is my little "story":

It all began in Spring 2010 when I discovered Trish's fabulous blog:

 

TROUVAIS ~ French interiors, rough luxe, flea market finds

...and when we both came together 'via peonies'.

 Then she wrote a post about me: 

"Peonies in a French Garden"   here

This was the beginning of a lovely friendship!

Because of Trish's encouragement and inspiration I created a few months later my own blog.

Thank you Trish!   here

 "My good friend Karin from La Pouyette has posts on linen that are incredible  here and  here.
An antique dealer for over 30 years, at times showing at Battersea, 
her blog is full of gardening and antique information. 
She can occasionally be talked out of seriously beautiful linen and other textiles…
like the initialed piece above that I’ve shown you several times."  Trish

I know that I've neglected to some extend the blog world during the last few months,
slowing down with commenting and posting.
As it is sometimes in life - unexpected things are coming up which are demanding full attention....
But I will certainly try to catch upon with all of you as soon as possible!

A very special THANK YOU

to each and every one of you

for still reading me and for all your friendly comments!

It means a lot to me and certainly so much appreciated.
