Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. ~Mother Teresa~

A Centrepiece !!!

Tried to use my imagination today...
With some fresh flowers in mind...
Came up with a centrepiece for my table...
Not bad...
But I must say I am so lost without picnic...
Anybody have any suggestions for easy on line photo editing??? 



One of my favourite things to collect "white pitchers"...
I have some old ones & new ones too...
I enjoy mixing old & new...
How about you???

Check out the sparkle of the sun shining on the handle of the pitcher...
This was a beautiful day to take pictures with the sun shining through the dining room window...



Love how St.Theresa is faded into the background...
She is so beautiful...
If you remember my last post she was in front of a large mirror in my living room, I enjoy moving around main focal points from one room to another...
You know how it is always wondering what corner to improve next...
Are we all just crazy???
Mu husband thinks so...
I'm quite content that's the main thing, so they say...   
                                                        .

Just playing around with some props...

Oh I also love collecting all shades of white platters too...
Some have a little designs around the edges but most are just a solid color...
How about you???
I'm sure platters are on the top of your addiction list as well...

So let the sunshine in
face it with a grin...
Smilers never lose
and frowners never win...
So let the sunshine in
face it with a grin...
Open up your heart & let the sunshine in...

Simply Simple...

Blessings to all my followers...
This is the day the Lord has made
let us rejoice & be glad...

Reflections of St.Theresa ~

A friend of mine spotted this beautiful statue of St.Therese on Kijiji.
I inquired , no response, then after a few days I assumed she was SOLD...
But ...Faith has a way of surprising us.
St.Theresa found me ...



No touch-ups required...
She came perfect with the pedestal included... 



"For me, prayer is a surge
of the heart;
it is a simple look
turned toward heaven;
it is a cry of recognition
and of love, embracing
both trial and joy."
-St.Theresa





"Let us go forward in peace,
our eyes upon heaven,
the only one goal
of our labors."
-St Theresa



Before her death, St.Theresa said,
"I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth,
it will be like a shower of roses...
And you will find many consolations."

FIVE-DAY  NOVENA TO ST.THERESA

St.Theresa, the Little Flower,
please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden
and send it to me with a message of love.
Ask God to grant me the favour I implore.
And tell Him I will love Him daily more and more.

Pray 5 Hail Marys, 5 Our Fathers and 5 Glory' Be's


Blessings Lori

A Little Softness...

A few more pictures of my bedroom for you to enjoy!!!
Thank-You all so much for your lovely comments on my last post...

Here in Canada we do not have our blossoms out yet , so here is a little project for you all to try...
Pick any kind of twig outside & just glue artificial apple blossoms randomly here & there to the twigs...
This gives a very natural look!!!
My cousin found this idea on Pinterest...
Happy she did...







This adds a little hint of color to my all white on white bedroom...

Love the textures of this pic ...
Just look a little closer, I can find seven or so different textures...
And I must say the shades of pink makes my room feel a little "Romantic"

Blessings Lori!!!

Faded Elegance !!!

Hello friends, this post has been a treat for me to do.My aunt is visiting and has taken along her best friend, (her professional DSLR/lenses).
Enjoy!!!


"SERENITY"
God grant me the serenity...


10 pillows/cushions...That should do it...
My husband most certainly thinks so...




Having a little fun with photoshop...
I was blessed to have a good samaritan drop off the old farm house window...
I love how word gets around when you love old stuff...
May God Bless her & all my followers!!!

Easter "New Life"

                                  Happiness this Easter for you and your loved ones...
                                                             
                                                                     



It was a few days ago ,  when I put some thought into what I should post for you this Easter...My Easter tree came to mind right away... I had some fun taking the pictures but when I go to edit them I realize I'm only happy with the one shot , so there it is ... My cute little tree with the eggs my daughter  and I made last year...So obviously I would like to post more then one picture for you ,  so my mind is racing by now wondering what else could I do for you !!!
Enjoy!!!

The Cross!!!
The Last Supper!!!
The Crucifixion!!!
The Resurrection!!!



I just picked up this old picture of "The Last Supper" It's the first one I own , and a nice time of year to find it...



It would be interesting to hear the conversations taking place on that "Holy Thursday Night"  













" God so loved the world  that he gave his only Son "

Let's make Jesus , the Son of God who died and rose , the foundation of our faith...
 "A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY "
"Jesus , show me how your death has brought me life.I want to take hold of all your grace as I prepare to enter the Holiest days of the year.Help me to experience the power of your resurrection in my life today"                      
Blessings Lori
