Last night Nina and I were searching for the nostalgic Christmas music that helps sooth the spirit while working. With a mug of hot tea by my side I managed to frame a few items and am just waiting for a bright clear day (not happening today) to take photos that I can add to the Etsy shop.
I ordered a few cute little hand mirrors to add to the shop for some inexpensive stocking stuffers. So in the spirit of the season I'd love to offer a giveaway!
Leave a comment about love. A quote, an unbearable experience, your heart pounding expression of joy ;) or some simple little ditty.
I will pick a random guest to win one of the new little hand mirrors for yourself and another for someone you adore.
Starting Now!
I will announce a winner Saturday afternoon.

ReplyDeleteWhy comest thou not? Come!

Thou canst glide on a beam,
Enter my dwelling and my mind
And over my life gleam!"

I just found you through WIllow's blog and am so impressed by your beautiful work! Your images are sweet and elegant and unique and I am so happy to have found you. I will be back as I am now a "follower," Kristin xo
ReplyDeleteI wanted to comment about your work, but I would also love to be a part of your drawing if I may . . . Love to me is the kick in the head from a sleeping 5 year old who snuck in our bed in the middle of the night . . . xo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This is such a beautiful mirror :)

ReplyDeleteLove IS...
ReplyDeleteAnd that is what is most important!

ReplyDeletei carry your heart with me(i carry it in
ReplyDeletemy heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Lovely mirrors! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of love, the line from an Italian opera comes to my mind; heaven is in your eyes.

ReplyDeleteOh dear - I almost missed this. Love is understanding each other and forgiving each other their faults. Love is having the worst day of your life and knowing that a simple hug from your better half will make EVERYTHING all better again. Love is the moon, the stars, and the shining sun - all wrapped into one. :) Thank you for offering yet another lovely giveaway! Hope you enjoyed the holiday. Theresa

You're busy with your BlackBerry, busy with your girl. And I'm wondering now, have I ever crossed your mind? Because you always crossed my mind and made butterflies whenever I hear your voice and your laughter, even from seeing your face :)

Love is like a mirror. When you love another you become his mirror and he becomes yours....And reflecting each other's love you see infinity.

ReplyDeleteCute contest, heres mine!
ReplyDeleteDon't fall in love with me yet
We only recently met
True I'm in love with you but
you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
go absolutely cuckoo
then, when you see your error,
then, you can flee in terror
like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause
I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
and if you make a mistake
my heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
and all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
-the magnetic fields
Love is patient. Love is kind.

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'Maybe we should just be friends' or 'How ver...y perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love."

this thing called love is another word for pain~ but even if in pain, you should not give up. remember the reason why you hang into that feeling in the first place. if you really love a person, never give up.

"You know how when you're listening to music playing from another room? And you're singing along because it's a tune that you really love? When a door closes or a train passes so you can't hear the music anymore, but you sing along anyway... then, no matter how much time passes, when you hear the music again you're still in exact same time with it. That's what it's like."

"You know there are fours words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. "Good night sweet girl." That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with."
