Remembering Spring

Cortona Note Cards

Vee at "AHaven For Vee" is hosting a "Note Card Party" and I'd love to join in.   When I came back from Europe in 2004, I had so many beautiful pictures and I decided to use them to make note cards.
For a few years, I sold my cards in several places including a tea house, a florist's,  a gift store
and an antique store.  It was a perfect hobby and once or twice I took my cards to craft fairs.

These days I have a small trunk that holds my note cards and once in awhile I package up 5 or 6 and send them away.  I never have to drive to the store to choose a birthday, get well or sympathy card so they come in very handy. Here are my four notecards...

Last summer my daughter and I stayed in Cortona, Italy for two weeks
and so I am choosing photos from Cortona for this group of notecards.

Thanks Vee, for hosting this first "Note Card Party".  It will give us all inspiration just by glimpsing each other's favourite photos.  

'Tis A Grand Day To Be Irish!

 

 

 

May the sound of happy music
And the lilt of Irish laughter
Fill your heart with gladness 
That stays forever after.


The luck of the Irish to you!

Flowers From My Sister

The most amazing things happen these days.  Imagine waking up to open your email and finding these lovely photos of flowers taken by my sister.  She and I share a passion for flowers and photography.  Lately she's been going through her online albums and sharing some of her favorites with me.  I love the surprises that come my way every few days.  It's wonderful to be connected and to be able to share our days and memories so easily.  Thank you, Maureen!  You brighten my world...
