As the year is drawing to a close, I have been reflecting on my blog and all the fabulous
friends I have made both in real life and in blogland. From the bottom of my heart I thank
you all for your support and friendship.
In my reflecting I decided to show a few of my posts from this past year which have
encouraged me to go forward with new and creative ideas. I hope you will enjoy the
visit...
This post was called I Just Couldn't Help Myself and truer words were never spoken.
I love peonies and I love silver and adore the combination...
I so enjoyed my visit to the Remnants of the Past sale earlier in the year. I was able to
spend some time with some of my favorites like Atelier De Campagne, 3 Fine Grains and
A Beautiful Mess Antiques...(Links to all are found within my link)
On A Beautiful Hot Summer Day was such a lovely day . As you know by
the name of my blog, I love roses and a visit to Roger's Garden was absolutely the perfect
way to spend a hot summer day. The only thing I like better are my own roses but this
was the perfect introduction to Roger's Garden because they not only have beautiful
gardens but a wonderful art gallery and gift shop...
Fields of Lavender was a very special day. Jermaine from French-Kissed and I spent
some wonderful time in the lavender fields and then had a lovely lunch followed by a
visit to the lavender festival in Ojai, California. (Again, links within my link)
The post Violets for Valentines was a chance to share with you the lovely violet plates
my mom gave to me many years ago. I love them and they are perfect with chocolate
heart shaped tea cakes...
I am always up for going to Country Roads Antiques and a visit with Sue...(Again, link
within my link)
It's always good to see the wonderful Alpacas and this last time I was able to purchase
some yarn that came from a wonderful alpaca named Yuletide. I now have two lovely
scarves that I have made from Yuletide's wool...

I wish you all a very, very Happy New Year with an abundance of happiness,
good health and prosperity.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's truly been a year of beauty visiting you! I know your knee slowed you down this year, but I so enjoyed it when you got a chance to post. I'm looking forward to a lot more Blooming Rose this year! All the best to you and yours in 2012! xoxo
Oh, Susan, yes - time passed by like ???? My first blogging year and it feels like I've just started...., and yet, met virtual so many lovely people from allover the world.
And I'm more than pleased to met you via the blogworld! You certainly know that I like very much your blog. Your today's post-review - what can say... you've chosen my images of my favorite posts!
I would love to send you for the New year something from the German poets Goethe or Schiller - but because in German language....might would be difficult for you to read/understand, mildly spoken...
But you may like this:
"Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of the deep blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to impart a quiet to the mind" (Jonathan Edwards)
All my bet wishes for you and yours for 2012! Happiness and Good Health!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I love, love, love the silver and peony - it does something to me - makes my heart flutter. When I have peonies I always put the in a silver trophy bowl and I could look at them all day!
