Gifts of Precious Time ✨

The battle is raging between El Niño and Polar Vortex outside my window.  Bitter cold is desperately trying to remove any warmth in its path.  I laugh! somewhat insanely, light many flames, and proceed to 
warm my thoughts &  revisiting time spent " gifts" 

The word " love" does cause me to recoil, so I choose to relate this word with " warmth".  
Warmth, for me, is a precious feeling.  Glancing at my recent penpal pile, I appreciate 
their precious time!

From an Artist in New Jersey, who is known by " The Original Fairy Art Mother". 


Decorated cigar box, holding a mysterious package, with a hint and a slight grin from an iconic 
historical women.   Inside the package is a jewelled tiny frame with an equally vintage portrait.
@fairyartmother ( Instagram) is also a teacher, and in each of her postings I receive detailed 
education information.  
The two Sister's ( Two Nudes Bathing) is in the Louve. From cica 1594 "Gabriell d'Estrees" is thought to be the work of a painter from the Fonainebleau School.
Gabriell d' Estress was the ( whispered) mistress of Henry IV of France and the pinching of her sister was signalling 
that she was pregnant.  ( I choose to tell my sister at a rock concert) 

I am humbled and very grateful for such a care filled gift !  Treasured and admired daily, plus I am 
More clever for this! Thank you very much! Shari X

The harsh north winds were repelled by the smoking hot " Palentine" awaiting me this morning.


My longtime, virtual friend/ penpal Penny in the UK, ( rosa lily) knew I loved her joyous
Art and all things vintage.  Thank you very much indeed!  xo

Kindness is infectious!  I must spread the " warmth" to my puddleducks!


My middle Puddleduck loves Nana Snailmail! a valentine that won't cause blushing!
I have two more to deliver, I better get a move ON!

The most appreciated gift in this KINGdom is comfort food, damsel baked treats and
exceptional movie entertainment!  Well ding, ding, ding!  My position is secured!
The movie for viewing enjoyment is!


I sneek peeked and WOW!  I highly recommend if this is your thing.  

One last touch........" candy"  



It's a long weekend in Ontario Canada!  Bundle up and let the warmth from your life's " gifts"
get you through !    xoxoxoxo
