I'm letting Robert Louis Stevenson write my post today (how kind of him) :)
"The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life."
I put several floral collages in my etsy shoppe. I think there are a couple left.
Hope your day is full of rewards.
I love that quote -- I have never seen it before.

I can't decide which is more beautiful - the quote or the tomatoes. Both make me very happy! Thanks so much for sharing.

i so needed this quote today...making me cry!! i have only seen photos of you...but i believe that God put me in touch w/ you (your blog) at just the season of my life that your Godly perspective would be rained down on me...woman to woman! I hope that doesn't sound too sappy or "scary"!

Your creations are so lovely. You put so much of yourself into your work. Is it difficult to part with them?

...the photo of your dog from the other day was so sweet...i loved seeing the gray hairs on her chin...i remember seeing the photos and layouts of her when she was a puppy and i believe you had even written a poem for her or about her....it's touching that you let us watch your family bloom and grow thru your photos and art...blessings
