The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry.
The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive.
If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
~ Mary, The Secret Garden
When I first turned
the key
and opened
the door
to the world
of blogging
I felt a lot like
the character Mary
in the
Secret Garden...
Not certain of
where
I would be going
who I would be meeting
or where it would
lead me.
But like Mary's
story, my own
has introduced me
to a beautiful realm....
....where every day
brings a new
and lovely
discovery.
I am joining
Friday Flower each
week to someone special ~
And for me
that someone
would
be
YOU.
I've discovered some
amazing artists as a
result of pushing open
that rusty door
and poking my head
around the corner,
and I would like to
pluck some flowers
from their creative
gardens and put them
in your hands......

| The Letter Writer by Harrison Howard |
I spent way too many
week! Each of his pieces
are so lyrical, I kept
hopping from one to the
next. Harrison is also
one of the kindest
gentlemen in the blogosphere!
 |
| Morning Tea with Wildflowers by Laura Harris |
in my blog writing. I
don't remember who
commented on whose
blog first, but what I
could not forget was her
talent and my excitement
when I bought a miniature
oil painting from her.
 |
| Bouquet of Autumn Flowers by Trish Jones |
I was very fortunate
recently to win an
original painting on
Sweet as June
by the wonderful artist
I've been following
her blog, The Old Post
Road, for a while
and am just tickled
to own one of her
happy creations!
 |
| Mae ~ Fox Print by Amber Alexander |
I spied a sweet
sidebar of a blog just
this week. One click
and I was trolling
the halls of her Etsy
gallery, full of whimsical
creatures that really
made me smile.
 |
| Afghans in the Garden by Violet Skiles |
The last artist's
garden where I'll
pluck you a bloom
who I follow on
her sweet blog
Create Beauty;
an apt name, don't
you agree?
A big thank you
to all of these
very special
artists for their
extraordinary
Friday flowers!
One more flower
for the winner
of my CSN gift card
giveaway, selected
at random by
random.org.
# 87
So Stinkin' Cute

Happy Weekend!
