About Me
- Victoria Sayer
- Queensland, Australia
- My hands might only be small, and not too elegant...but God made them creative. Hence, I will never have spare room in my house, due to all manner of craft items that have caught my attention. I find immense delight by being creative. I also love to draw. I just love creating. Having discovered etsy, I can create to my hearts content. My daughter, Jillian, prompted me to join with her in an Etsy store, and the two of us have been as happy as 'pigs in mud'! She is my kindred spirit...the woman I had asked God for when I was a young woman. I had waited so long, and wondered if He was ever going to answer my prayer when, one day, I turned around and found myself looking into her face....I just had to wait for my daughter to grow up! The other joy and delight that ranks high in my life, is our little granddaughter, Amazing elliana Grace. I could not have dreamed for a more enchanting grandchild. She always brings a smile to my face, and warmth to my heart.

Important knowledge
The more the merrier
Glitter Gone Bad
a cup of tea made in a pot with loose tealeaves and a simple ham sandwich with real butter and freshly baked bread and freshly sliced ham. These two items always remind me of my sweet childhood days spent at nanna's house
miss you nanna
Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting at the end of a long day makes that day happier.

Oh Victoria! This is so silly. You'll get to go someday!
ReplyDeleteI need your help though. I don't know why I think you will know this, but I have these flowers and for some reason I keep thinking you might know what they are!? I don't have any idea why I think you specifically will know...it was just a shot in the dark. Here's my post: http://yellowbirdyellowbeard.blogspot.com/2011/03/im-gettin-my-butt-kicked-over-here.html

PRECIOUS friend, I cannot tell you how exhilarating it was for me to tour France with my husband eight years ago. It is like a fairy tale...and I will be posting on this subject soon. Yes, the castles, the parks, the aroma of lavender in the air in the South of France, the FOOD everywhere, the markets, the sounds, all what a fairytale is made up of. One day dearest, ONE DAY, if only for a week, you must go. Thank you for this lovely moment of repose as I am on my lunch break. Bisous, Anita
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous pics...mind if I borrow that dream? :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breath taking! I'm so jealous. Thanks so much for sharing your sister's pictures so we could dream along with you.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I was born and lived my childhood in France and Germany. So for me France is just a normal place. Crazy right? But if it is your cherished dream to go there and visit(maybe live there!) then I wish for it to come true. Sometimes you just have to take the plunge and do it. Put other stuff on the back burner and rearrange everything else. You must make your dream a priority. None of us know how much time we have left so go for it! That's what my mom always tells my dad. I'm sure you can find a way.
ReplyDeletemay your wish come true,
Caroline
Thanks for the visit, Victoria! I raced right over! I loved all three of your Paris postings, but this one really had me sighing into my morning coffee! What a lovely set of images, and so nice that they were taken by your sister. I know you will get there someday, and it doesn't have to break the bank. I'll be posting the itinerary of our Normandy trip this summer soon, so I hope you will come back.
ReplyDeleteYour Etsy looks cool! Thanks again for the morning inspiration.
Bisous,
Dawne
