I always feel so good visiting this site, and love the way Mary has artfully arranged her beautiful accoutrements for our pleasure. <BR/>Mary, I am envious that you're able to clean out your closets. I've been wanting to get to mine but have this darn knee keeping me from it. It will be better, though! And until then, I have your lovely pictures to soothe my soul.<BR/>I loved this post about your memories of your parents and the beginnings of your house. Really nice.Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-25187948401895688062008-03-29T04:27:00.000-04:002008-03-29T04:27:00.000-04:00Thank you for your comment:) I try to translate a ...Thank you for your comment:) I try to translate a little bit to english, under the norwegian text, so my english readers get a clue...<BR/><BR/>I wish you a lovely weekend:)elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082065183038948502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-46360705978158767042008-03-29T02:27:00.000-04:002008-03-29T02:27:00.000-04:00What a sweet post,The dish looks like it could be ...What a sweet post,<BR/>The dish looks like it could be for asparagus or maybe a slice of cantaloupe, hmmm~whatever it may be it's a gorgeous piece.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful blog, Mary.<BR/>~Tracie<BR/>My Petite MaisonTracie~MyPetiteMaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115515570349062556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-39948495609618336042008-03-29T01:00:00.000-04:002008-03-29T01:00:00.000-04:00...hmmmm....

You recognize beauty, plan to have only beautiful things that you love around you - discard the ugly - that's what I'm doing now. I just want to surround myself with loveliness, treasured things that mean something, that speak to me. As for art - do something each day no matter how minute, just something that you have created yourself - it makes one feel so good.<BR/><BR/>I used to play at my grandma's flat in England - this was just after WWII and she minded me as my Mum had to work. I had few toys, perhaps a doll and my stuffed monkey Chimpy (why a monkey I've no idea!), but my favorite thing was taking her dainty pieces of china out of a cupboard and rearranging them. I now have several of those pieces in my home - such pleasurable memories, but sometimes I shed a tear over them too.<BR/>Happy cleaning out - my closets are waiting also!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-84877802179864561432008-03-29T00:37:00.000-04:002008-03-29T00:37:00.000-04:00I'm so glad I stumbled upon your thoughtful, heart...I'm so glad I stumbled upon your thoughtful, heartfelt blog.

What a special way to use that piece. Karen is such a special blogger and you are too. Imagine my surprise this morning when I opened up my new Mother's Day Romantic Homes magazine and saw your sofa on the "letters to the editors" page. I just stared at it knowing I had seen it before then I read the letter.

A place to rest your brush and dip your brush in this lovely holder for water. Could you mom be sending you a little message perhaps.
