Elegant Rose

Tuesday's...

Tuesday is a special day for me..
It's the 'magical' day I generally get to my self.
A day to potter, putter and just be...
It's also the day I write my little words of wisdom
oh here.
And catch up with you all.
and that's special in it's very own little way......





Scary that we are six months into the year..
Don't you think ?
June like all the other months 
seems to be running away from me..



This last week.
I'm holding my hand up high...Ooh yes.
That I have been dipping in and out of Instagram..
In fact time has seen to pass me jolly well by..






We will blame this on
 Mr 'Rosey tinted Spectacles', himself.
Who bought me the new I phone to bring me into the 21st century..
( A pretty pink one I may add)
Yes, it's all his fault!
It is jolly lovely to find and greet quite a few blog
ladies already dwelling there..





Willow always watching me..
I cannot leave the room with out her shadow following me..
Kitties pull at your heart strings, don't they just..



For those who follow the moon cycles 
~ we have our full moon 
on Friday 13th..
I'm not superstitious in the slightest !!
(Fingers are crossed here)
It is of course 
The Full Strawberry Moon.
"June is typically when the strawberries ripen 
and are gathered.
The best time to seek forgiveness is under the 
Strawberry moon.
Sweetness seems to linger during this time"...
( The girl who chased the moon)







It's the biggest celebrations in our little place called home, tonight!
Big cheers and cheery grins all round..
Miss Olivia has her results..
and yes, they are just as wonderful as we all anticipated...
That 'wish box' really works!!!




Wishing you all a magical kind of week..
with a few twinkles

  2. Snap! I got myself a new phone last September....
    And, yes, it's pink....I call it my 'Pinkberry' phone..!
    Not bothering with the internet on this one..Not after
    all the hype with WiFi...The internet is a wonderful
    invention...But, to much 'down' side for my liking!

    My daughters cat..Charlie...Loves being on the wardrobe.
    Sits up there for hours, just meows, when he wants feeding!
    I told my daughter to put a litter tray up there...HeHe! He'd
    probably stay up there forever...! Bless!
    Kitties pulling at heart strings....Well! They've always torn my
    to pieces...! Love them! Right down to their little paws! :).

    As Cliff Richard would say....Cliff Richard...Geeez! :(.
    Congratulations to Miss Olivia....Golly well done!
    Exams! Goodness! I took a few...To few to mention.....
    Start of a song there...! :).
    Now! Now! Willie! Don't go off on one.......
    But Remember....
    "Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply, Speak Kindly".
    Ciaoooooooooooooo! ~(^..^)~

  7. Congratulations to Miss Olivia :) Amber's still in the midst of her exams.

    Doesn't Willow look adorable!? Nala's a climber too, she likes to sit on top of most hard to reach places, Cobweb's new favourite sleeping place is on top of my scanner. Perhaps it's nice and warm.

    Lovely, lovely images as always Maria xx

  10. I am in desperate need of a new phone. I am awful and never use the one that I have, or never charge it up. Well it is an antique according to my teens. When the time comes for a new one I think I will give in and get instagram too. ;)
    Have a lovely strawberry moon weekend. x

  14. Well done with the results all round - these are the landmarks in life aren't they.
    On Friday the 13th I had to get up at midnight because I had left the Lloyd Loom chairs in the garden and it was tipping it down....what a sight!
    I hope that it is sunny for you this weekend
    Best wishes
    Jenny

  15. Visiting your blog is almost like going to a magical land! The photos, images and words are so inviting! Our local weather man talked about the Strawberry moon and I had never heard it described as such... I love your excerpt.. explains is so well. I went out that night right at dusk and took a couple of photos of the moon, of course they never turn out as good as reality, think you would need a very good camera for that, but I'll try and post a couple of them next week. Enjoy the rest of June!

  19. Oh Maria, you are going to need a box of tissues for this book....and get this...dear MINKA, the woman who finally found her daughter, just died yesterday at the age of 102. She was a great woman, who loved to the end. I am so thrilled that you are ordering it! Anita

  20. Hello Maria, June is simply flying past. I wish it would just slow down a little, so I could appreciate all the good things!
    I’m so pleased for Miss Oliver and all of you, how exciting!
    Off to eat strawberries and drink tea while the sun is shining.
    Have a wonderful rest of the week. xx

  25. Hi Maria,
    Thank you for the kindest of words received on my blog for a long time. Thank you for taking the time to write - I appreciate all that you say.

    I would love to welcome you to my shop if you make the journey to Bath, but I am soon to close my shop this year (possibly not until the end of November - not sure yet.)

    Wishing you a happy summer doing what you love at home.
    Niki x
