COZY ON UP...solitude or company ?

Tea pots, coffee pots and a lovely cup can at the same time   conjure up thoughts of solitude and company.Alone, warm comfy, totally at ease with a good read or craft. In the company of people you enjoy, laughter and memories made.

My Grandma ketzel with the light blue dress,My Mom in yellow and in the dark blue dress several years later.Me in the flower dress somewhere in My 30s I suppose.Getting close to valentines  reminds Me of all those I have ever loved,family and special friends.

 Sisters three :) Delaine , Diane , Denise .Ok ,We'll be good and include our brother Steve.

COZY ON UP  :)            Enjoy your FEB.,month of love.... I'm joining Table Top Tues and.Tea Time Tues.,A Delightsome life....  All  on My  sidebar-Love Denise Kaye

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and  the leasures of company.  ~Author Unknown  

Have a sip with He and Me.

I'm feeling much better and baby Maddie seems fine, thank you for your help.

I had the flu vaccine  in Oct.,boy did this sure feel like the flu.Well ,I lost My imagination for only one day so it wasn't so bad,it's back so I'm back.Don't you hate it when a fever takes almost all away from you.  

I came back today, back to one of My glimmering shimmering hidden places.Feeling warm and enchanted, wandering in and  through the forest, and  the gardens in all kinds of weather to find My Love.

Where life is fun and full of excitement and wonderful things to do. Sounds too good to be true?

No,it's not.Many of us bloggers spend time there.The Dutchess does. The residence of,Castle Crowns and cottages  does and so does Once upon a Fairyland.Three of many that know this place.This God given place in your heart where you can play  tell we get to heaven.Our work is not done yet but there is time to play in His presence and with comfort.

 Fill it with Love Hope and Joy for others as well as yourself.

Blessings to each of you......Denise      Today I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage For tea 

Pray for Maddie Kaye,my dear partners in prayer.

I'm not feeling so good today.I have a cold,chills sore throat  ect.. but what I'm asking prayer for is My month old Granddaughter Maddie Kaye.I was with her all day yesterday. Ekks-even gave her kisses on her face.Please pray she doesn't get sick from Me.I need prayer warriors. Her Mom and I went out yesterday ,I was feeling fine, to have her pics taken.Yes She is nursing .Her Mom is going to freak when I tell her.

Remember when?

I remember when......

I use to be them......

grays, pinks, wool with fur collar coats.

How fashionable and young We were.

You looked just like Him.

remember when ? 

I'm joining Beverley's  Pink Sat.    

My winter wonderland / in Southern Ca.

I now have a white owl who lives as my neighbor.We sit in our spa in the freezing night air enjoying the bright night sky filled with stars and He/She visits us.  Swooping around above from tree to tree.Last night it sat on the wall and gave me an eye to eye stare.This may be a common occurrence for some of you,but for us it was a first.Living in Southern Ca. my whole life ,I  had never seen an owl except in captivity.   

So my new fascination of course is, white owls.I even went out the other day and bought an after Christmas sale white owl ornament.

Yes,even in Southern CA. ,baby it's cold outside,esp. in the morning.

Not quite like this,only in the mountains.

  I've been inside a lot like everyone else,playing and enjoying gifts from blogging friends.What a great life God has given Me.Outside late at night just me and  my wonderful husband in a spa with a white owl. Mornings spent in a cozy cottage  with  my art.

The most personal photos I've ever published,my bedroom.A little too personal or is it just me ? I do enjoy my little retirement "cottage",that's how it feels to the two of us- Our Cottage. 

The angles pouring down blessings from above.

Two of our blessings....... Thank you again  My Lord.

Unruly Paper Arts Challenge

I'm participating in  an art challenge hosted by Unruly Paper Arts. Their button is at the top of my side bar,if you would like to visit them.The participants are asked to incorporate a  Fleur-de- Lis into their art. The top 5 winners will be featured in the Sept. issue. Voting for the winners begins Jan. 26th. Readers  will be doing the voting. The Fleur-de- Lis  image stands in honor of France.The beginnings of it, many years ago stood for.... Those who worked,Those who fought and those who  prayed. It literally means, Flower of the Lilly. This is my one tag,done up on both sides.This new year I am going full force into my arts and crafts It's so relaxing to me.I love going to my little art desk  and losing myself into meditative art- I just made that up -meditative art,but it sure describes what I do. Love and Hugs-Denise
