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!

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"
