Thank you! I so relate to your feeling of being "bewitched beyond control" by those roses. I experienced that too in my garden this year. Fragrant roses open the heart up. Truly, you couldn't but buy them :-) They are already inspiring your (beautiful painting!) and bringing you their gifts, which are manifold. I enjoy them in the garden and love bringing some cut ones into the house. Once they fade, I collect the petals for potpourri (although some are as we speak being turned into an ancient recipe rose incense by a friend :-) Some petals are "pasted" into my journal. Some included in collages. I might even make some rose water soon :-) Have a blessed Sunday! <strong><em>Hello Chantal! Thank you very much for your very kind and inspiring words! Seems we do share a love of roses! I love how you allow the rose energies to go in so many different directions! :) I'll be over to see you soon! I hope you are having a blessed Sunday too! What a wonderful post. Thank you!

So when do I get to see some thistles? ;-) Dear Gypsy, today I'm blogging part of my heritage when it comes to this love I feel towards nature. The day before yesterday I went out to the archipelago surrounding the region where I grew up - and the city where I was born! - together with my dear friend Christian, and I would just love to show You (and Your cyber companions!) what the coastline looks like here up north in Finland. If You feel like it, c'mon over! :-) http://lakealike.blogspot.com/2008/07/efter-regnet-after-rain.html <strong><em>Thank you Anni. Thistles are coming soon! I am searching through my photographs now. I am looking forward to seeing your world! I will be over soon! Lovely roses!!! So when do I get to see some thistles? ;-)

At first glance, I thought it was a painting from another time. It's very beautiful.... and then, when I read you bought antique roses, I was thinking, "which one, which one??" I am a nut for old and english roses and, although they are all blown right now with the heat, I still adore them. They are in potpourri now and I still enjoy their fragrance. I have a few photos of my roses and even my potpourri on my blog, if you want to wander by sometime. I just wish I could put that fragrance on there! Enjoy! <strong><em>Hello Linda thank you for your very kind note. "a painting from another time"...as an old soul I like that! :) Seems we share a love of roses..eh?
