Frilly Frilly Spring Time...
Dear Springtime Dress,
I really believe that you belong with me, well not just to me, I think that the other dresses in my closet truly need you to keep them company. I promise that when Springtime actually gets here, I will wear you more than once, I'll even take you to pretty places where we can stroll down the street with Hampton in tow and then we can dine on sweet treats and such.
I know it's not much but I hope it's enough for you to say that you'll come home with me.

Monday Daily ♥ Poem and/or Quote...
an act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not reception. ♥ Harold Loukes, Christian Educator & Orator

Hats off to the Chef...
If I had to choose my favorite food bloggers, who create their own dishes and have beautiful presentations, it would definitely hands up and down have to be, Smitten Kitchen and The Parsley Thief! I've posted recipes on here before from both sites and every time I visit them, it just makes me want to cook and eat really good food.
The best thing about home cooked meals are that, a. you made them yourself so it's a delightful achievement, b. you don't have to be a graduate of a cooking school to cook well {and not make people sick} and c. you learn how to make almost anything!
So an awfully HUGE thanks to the women who dare to cook and share their food savvy with the rest of the world!

Darling Little Camera...
I have learned that I have a small affection for white gadgets, so when I peeped the Fuji Instax Mini Instant Camera, my affection grew and grew and grew so much that I have to have one.
Hear me out, I really do need a new camera for some of my projects and because the last time I got a camera was 2005. Heavy sigh, ok ok, this is not a need camera so much as it's a I really do "want" this camera.

Take me to the Circus...
I absolutley ♥ Anthropologie, because they have beautiful clothes and trinkets for the home and they have a simply fantastic way of making you want to purchase everything they have to offer, so when I retrieved the catalog from the mail this monring, it made me:
a. want to go to the Circus
b. have a Circus themed-party and/or
c. create Circus themed party favors
Either way, I simply love their take on the Circus and I actually can't wait for the Circus to come to town this year.
Daily ♥ Poem and/or Quote…
I have this book called Love: Quotes and Passages from the Heart, by B.C. Aronson and I absolutely love it. You have a mixture of emotions, laughter, sorrow, joy etc., all related to love by an array of people from comdeians, poets, writers, etc. It's a really good book.
So, in celebration of February {♥ Month}, I’m thinking why not post a love poem or quote either every day or every week throughout the month from the book just to share some of the love {a collective arrangement of musical oohs and aahs go right here}!
Quote of the day:
"To have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment. It is not inherited, as with a family. It is not compelling, as with a child. And it has no means of physical pleasure, as with a mate. It is, therefore, an indescribable bond that brings with it a far deeper devotion than all the others."♥

It's February Lovelies...
The wonderful wonderfulness {did I just create a word?} about February is that there are so many lovely things to do and celebrate this month, i.e. Black History Month, birthdays, holidays and of course Love!
I'm excited that February is here and that we have another month to do and experience great things!!!
Have a lovely February lovelies.
