Angel Wings

Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams.

Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by.

Your guardian angel knows you inside and out, and loves you just the way you are.

Angels keep it simple and always travel light.

Remember to leave space in your relationships so the angels have room to play.

Your guardian angel helps you find a place when you feel there is no place to go.

Whenever you feel lonely, a special angel drops in for tea.

Angels are with you every step of the way and help you soar with amazing grace.

After all, we are angels in training; all we have to do is spread our wings and fly.

This is why I love computer graphics. (I can’t do this in the “real” world.)
Like magic, I transformed my design from yesterday into the most beautiful shades of color.
(I figured you were probably getting tired of “pink”.)
I have not had the time to get source codes together yet for the gadgetry.
But feel free to use these in your “Blog Worlds” if you don’t need the source codes.
I will be posting the source codes soon.
Let me know what your favorite color is below…mine is the second one.
Have an awesome Friday and remember to be kind to yourself!

Eloquence

I found this stunning company who specialize in ‘Old World Glamour’.

Their passion for beauty is incredible.

If I could furnish “Rose Petals from Heaven”, I would do so with their creations.

Just take a look at this beautiful glass chandelier above. (Of course I love the cranberry color)

I love the natural coral, pink roses, and shells they use throughout their displays.

The subtle hues of pink in these pillows are perfect.

The founders are Amelia Cooke & Kim Redmond and their taste is exquisite.

I am in awe of their beautiful products.

I thought you might be too.

Patron Saint of Bloggers

Today January 24, is the feast of St. Francis De Sales so let’s head to the French Alps.

The more I read about this saint, the more I am intrigued by him.

He is the patron saint of journalists and writers.

He was born in the beautiful town of Annecy, France.

Annecy is tucked away in the French Alps…

near the borders of Switzerland and Italy.

Many people call Annecy the “Venice of the Alps”

because of the beautiful canal which runs through the center of it.

The “Palais de l’Ile” (or Palace on the Island) is a popular photo opportunity and is now the center of Art and History Conservation of Annecy.

When I make it to France, I intend on putting Annecy on my to-do list.

The church of Saint-François de Sales preserves this saint’s relics here.

St. Francis de Sales is known as the “The Gentle Saint” and I consider him the patron saint of Bloggers.

I do love his wisdom:

“Give yourself up to your guardian Angel, that he may be your guide…”
- St. Francis de Sales

As you begin your week, know your guardian Angel is forever at your side (even if "he" may be a "she" *wink*).

Savon de Marseille

The other day I came across a beautiful bar of Le Sérail Savon de Marseille France.

(click pictures to enlarge)

It was in a clearance basket.

So I did my little *happy dance* and purchased the French milled soap.

Savon de Marseille is a pure handcrafted soap made in the South of France.

It is made with coconut and palm oils.

And sea salt.

They have been making soap in Marseille for over 300 years in the same natural way.

It smells heavenly.

“The perfume of roses are like exquisite chords of music composed of many odor notes harmoniously blended.”
