Saving the best for last. It is my squirrely side, the part of me that puts this or that away for a certain time, often undefined in my mind. But when it arrives with a click, I smile inwardly broadly.
And so yesterday evening, after a fit of Ikea runs and practicality…
…we started to unwrap the Art.
Our pieces are not precious…
…the value they have is personal.
But oh, how I was thrilled to see them again even after so short an absence.
Happily, they are not worse for the wear after their short voyage.
It is delightful seeing them with new eyes, in a different environment. Wipe the slate clean and start again.
“Welcome to your new Home,” I whispered.
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone…
I think I can see a face in that first image….
… Your last image makes me want ice cream. (Don't ask me why!)

You have captured what I love about Provence so perfectly, I am now really pining! Xx Sharon
Sprays and whorls of Ceratostigma Plumbaginoides 😉 I think that's your vine! Here's to planting roots in a beautiful new spot. xox, V
Glad you are settling in so happily. With art on the walls you know that you are truly home. And your gorgeous photos are art in themselves – you know I love your eye for patina, texture and the details that make Provence so beautiful.
Yo were mentioned fondly many times this weekend – we spent it with Heidi, Angel, Penelope and Paloma and a few other friends and told stories of our wonderful tour of Arles last summer. As sunny and beautiful as our setting was, we couldn't help but wish we were back in Provence!
Have a beautiful week, Heather! XOXO
Praise for the slow unraveling. Showing the cover and a glimpse of the first page.
Have a wonderful week.
I am so eager to read more about your new home and so happy that the move has worked out for you. You are keeping my spirits up by proving that sometimes chasing daydreams can have happy endings.
Sounds like home Heather. Art doesn't have to be precious. It just has to speak to the heart.
Does anyone else feel like you're reading an exciting new mystery novel by your favorite author?? More will be revealed….ack! I can hardly stand it – little glimpses of the new location…teasing mentions of favorite items being unpacked…Trying to remember to just savor the little bits and pieces, which, I believe, is the point of this whole venture! LOVE the patina here – the last 2 are my favorites, but they are all wonderful! Miss you!!!
