Often I forget many things that were painful for me to learn....such as transformations help you find your purpose, your values, your strengths and to help you decide on your life success patterns....and as I look back upon this week I see a week of transitions and a gentle reminder to myself that transformations take time, don't always come as fast as you want them to, however beautiful when they do arrive......
Yes, I have been pushing fall to arrive.....added some fall garland to the fireplace (while I had shorts on a the ac blowing....)
I could not resist these beautiful mums so replaced my summer flowers with this big bunch and also my apple gourds that my Auntie M gave me a few years ago.....
I had these 3 orphan beautiful vintage pillowcases....too pretty to throw out or donate, not matchy enough to use for company....so I took these three....
...and some of my felt hangers.....
....traced the form on the handiwork of the pillowcase....
....and cut out where I traced the hanger form....
...stiched them inside out, leaving room for the hanger hook....
....and they turned out pretty nice.....
....a little extra nice touch.....
....for the guest room closet....some day I want to do a whole guest room in all vintage décor....I have lots of the pieces, just need a larger guest room!
One of the sweetest transformations is in this little book that Brody picks up and writes in when he is here.....Brody is a boy that takes it all in however only will use his knowledge when he wants to! When he started Kindergarten in August this is how he wrote his name....
....and when I peaked at his writing book over the weekend here, just a few weeks later, is his much improved penmanship!
....and remember the chrysalis that Dylan put in a container and watched and waited and I could not bear to look at????
On Sunday morning we awoke to a beautiful butterfly in the container....
Dylan did the honors in setting it free....you can see the black dot as it is leaving the container.....
....beautifully transformed, in it's own time and off to a new venture!
Nature has so many beautiful lessons....if we only watch and learn!
