{Happy Canada Day, dear fellow Canadians! I braved the crowds this morning, at two locations, during the new citizens' ceremony in Gatineau, Quebec and then on Parliament Hill, Ottawa, for the Duke's speech to Canadians, to try to get a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on their first Royal Tour and first visit to Canada for Kate... tried as I could, I didn't get any worthwhile photographs... hoping you are enjoying yourselves on this gorgeous Canada Day... now back to the festivities with family, then back downtown to watch the fireworks!}
{Hello and happy Friday! Have had a computer crash and worked overtime a few nights at work this week, but I haven't forgotten about you... are you looking forward to St. Valentine's Day this Monday? I hope this post brings you some inspiration... whether you wear your prettiest feminine bejeweled shoes, prepare an absolutely delectable cake to share after a romantic homemade dinner, or receive antique heirlooms, remember it's all about ensuring your significant other believes they are special and adored by you!... so have fun and let me know how it turns out!}
{while the enchantment of Christmas has passed, a new year full of exciting plans and celebrations are just around the corner... hoping your Christmas was spectacular and that your holiday dreams are being met... until later... Linda, xo}
p.s. thank you for all your well wishes and lovely comments... I had a fabulous Christmas and just received the most wonderful news, which I will share with each of you very soon....
{well lovelies, Christmas is almost upon us... yesterday, I purchased loads of lovely red wrapping paper and my mission today is to wrap all the presents before the hubby gets home... I'm up for it!}
{a Scandinavian home, deliciously decorated for the Holidays... swooning over the soft neutral palette, ribbon-hung wreaths in the windows, chevron floors and that practically every room has a chandelier... sigh!}
{the wintry wind is humming softly and I can think of nothing more inviting than interiors embracing warmth and airiness that only the colors of butter, cream and white can achieve...}
{Easter weekend, finally! We expect the temperature to rise to 24 today. So welcomed! My weekend will be spent celebrating two special birthdays, which means lots of quality time with family. Hope you have a special, special weekend. p.s. a warm welcome to new followers!}
{If I could bake each of you a special something I would; for your readership and lovely comments have made 2009 very special and for that I am very grateful... Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!!}
