VIOLET!

Hi Coralie,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture. With everything that is happening in the world I find it heart warming. It reminds me of myself as a child full of dreams and innocence. I wish I could bring up my kids during those more peaceful times. Thanks for sharing.

Such a sweet picture. It does take me back to a much simpler time. I would NOT want to be growing up now, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to be her!
ReplyDeleteLove the violet chenille spread, and the girl's aqua & violet PJs :-)
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to grow up in simpler times. I always had this vision of being a kid in the country, swinging on a tire swing from a big tree in the front yard, running & playing in the fields, drinking lemonade, splashing in a stream, all without a care in the world.

Such a lovely photo. I always loved the softness of chenille. My grandmother always used chenille spreads on her beds.
ReplyDeleteMaureen
She looks just like my sister in-law Angela. What a sweet picture!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL SHADE OF VIOLET, AND YES IT BRINGS HAPPY DAYS BACK TO ME WHEN I WAS A CHILD. IT DID SEEM THAT TIMES WERE SO MUCH EASIER BACK THEN. RIZZI
ReplyDeletepretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's lovely. Such a sweet expression on the girl's face.
ReplyDeleteAlthough a product of the 1970's, my heart is firmly entrenched in the 1940's. Truly, if I could turn back the hands of time and live in another time period, no question...it would be the 1940's. I appreciate the moral climate of society back then...and the respect that was given to authority figures (adults). Nowadays, I watch the kids in my area refuse to get off the sidewalks with their skateboards even if they nearly run an older person over by being there.
Thanks for sharing this lovely image.
Blessings,
Patti
One of your sweetest images, yet, Coralie! I absolutely love this!
ReplyDeleteHope your day is going beautifully, my friend...

I remember when everyone had a chenille bedspread. I'm ashamed to say that, as a child at the cottage, I used to join my sister in picking the chenille apart. Horrors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteI wish parents still taught their children to say their prayers this way. Twyla
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, Coralie.
ReplyDeleteI wish life were still as innocent as that now. But there are islands of sweetness in life still.
Best wishes,
Anna

Otherwise, here is my post for Mrs. Matlock:
Anna's Rainbow Violet
This is really sweet..and that violet bed spread lovely..Yes, it does remind me of a gentler time..when my dad was a kid :) :) :) this is totally random, but it also reminds me of these really old Bibles...probably from the 1950s that I'd see at the dentist's office when I was a little girl. I don't remember what was so special about them other than the hardcover design was something very 50s about it...the photo. In any case...this is a really sweet picture!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that this is almost too sweet for my taste, though I would certainly love to go back and experience the slower pace of life in the time that the picture represents. I wonder if I would love it or be frustrated.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture. I love it. I'm going back there right along with you.
ReplyDeleteSimple sounds good. Praying beside my chenille bedspread certain that all was well in my little world.
Thanks for an evocative and charming stop on our little journey through Rainbow Summer School.
You find the most amazing graphics.
