Welcome November!!!

 

It's a beautiful morning here at the LeJeune home. {sigh}

The morning sun is rising and it is peeking through every possible window, leaving the most gorgeous shadows on everything around me. I am surrounded by such beauty as I sit here and type this post. I have so much to be thankful for.

Speaking of beauty...

I love this portrayal. The shy little beauty with her precious little lamb. She's dressed so magnificently feminine with such grace and innocence. And him? He just adores her. I can see it in his eyes.

What do you think he's telling her?

"Darling, I love you with all of my heart" or...

"Sweetheart, I would go to the ends of the earth for you" or...

"Whatever your heart desires, it is yours"...

{Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic, can't you tell?}

Speaking of thankfulness...

I am so thankful that I have friends. Friends who understand me, whether they are right next door or thousands of miles away.

Of those many boxes on the floor yesterday, 2 were  from Sandy, plus the envelope. And this is what was inside them.

She understands the loving and serious, yet fragile side of me and sent me this...

She understands the preservation and vintage side of me and sent me this...

Don't you just love how she repurposed a vintage sewing needle card?

She understands the playful and fun side of me and sent me this...

I'll share my fortunes with you ;)

And she understands the artful and creative side of me and sent me this...

Isn't this the cutest button bracelet?

I love all of it on this beautiful morning...and I'm sure I'll love it forever!   ;)

Did you remember to change your clocks back one hour today?

Did you remember to change the flowers on the graves of loved ones as today is All Saints Day?

Welcome November and all it has to offer ;)
