February flowers . . .

"I feel as if I had opened a book,
and found roses of yesterday,
sweet and fragrant,
between its leaves"
-L. M. Montgomery-
I see heart curls :-) 

I added my "grandson" flowers
to my hubby's flowers

It's amazing how flowers bring so much happiness ~ especially when they are given with love
from the one's we love.

"Our flowers grow
in many directions.
Our roots are one"

Hello February . . .

hello to quiet stitchery 
and snowy days
to writing poetry 
and planning springtime garden beds 

"In seed time learn

in harvest teach

in winter enjoy"

-William Blake-

I've been cleaning out my little sparrow studio and selling pieces of original art panels {listed in my Etsy shop - vintage sparrow studio if you are interested} ~Entangled~ is one of the pieces available.
February is for admiring the beauty found in nature - 

"I prefer Winter and Fall

when you feel the bone structure of the landscape -

the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of Winter.

Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show." 

-Andrew Wyeth- 
for candles and a good book 
(even one you have read many times) ;-) 
"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth

for the touch of a friendly hand

and for a talk beside the fire:

it is a time for home."

-Edith Sitwell-
"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose,

if there were no winter in our year!"

-Thomas Wentworth Higginson-
~Happy February~
