Happy Weekend Lovely!
Today as I count my blessings there is much to be grateful for:
* These lilies are exuding the most glorious fragrance throughout our home at the moment and make me smile every time I walk past the sideboard that they're sitting on - thank you Captain V.
* There are a few elements in this vignette that remind me of my blessed good fortune.
In addition to the many starfish scattered throughout our home, I have a subtle beach theme in our decor.
The poorly framed tram roll of local towns and beaches is actually of my favourites and when I look at it I often ask myself, "Have you visited the water today?".
This week I can answer "Yes!" as I've been fortunate to take Luke on some walks by the river and hope to get down to the beach over the weekend for at least one early morning stroll.
* We have had lots of illness in our home of late so I am eternally grateful for doctors, medication, rest, clean fresh air and Olive Leaf......oh, and our improving health of course.
* My parents returned from a global adventure last Sunday and I'm so glad that they're back safe and sound with lots of treasured tales to share.....can't wait to see them and give them a great big hug.
* Visits from the wildlife. In addition to Violet and Velvet stopping by to eat & fertilise our grass, I've been able to hand feed a magpie from our front balcony and have had some close encounters with a family of juvenile kookaburras - hope to share some photos with you on Monday.
* Blogerista friends - for all of you who stop by regularly and leave a lovely note.
For for those whom I've been in cahoots with this week, for those who have stretched, reassured, encouraged or inspired me - thank you. You are a wonderful bunch and I treasure our connections.
I hope that you have a chance today to drink deeply in the lovely perfume of a bloom or to savour the company of someone you cherish. To enjoy time spent in nature or simply a strong and healthy body.
Over this weekend, I'd encourage you to take the time to write a little note and pop in into Maxabella's 'Grateful Basket' which always seems to be brimming full.....happy weekend!
Those lilies are gorgeous! There is so much to be grateful for when you stop and think. Thanks for sharing your blessings.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
sounds like you have had a beautiful week! Those lillies are just stunning. Hope that you have an equally lovely weekend. Tatum xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilies, nothing quiet like having fresh flowers in the house. Glad to hear health is returning to your home, and i hope you get to make that trip to the beach over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope it is lovely! x
Aren't lilies just gorgeous, and they last for so long. I received a bunch today and am so grateful. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh those lilies are divine.
ReplyDeleteOh and Kookaburra's - my favourite birds. We have a few that frequent our neighbourhood too
what a lovely post - and great reminders to appreciate everything we so often take for granted...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad people are on the mend in your home and very sorry anyone was ill. I'm very lucky to wake up with someone I cherish every day :) AND visit you dear F here, that's a treat to take in as well.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the smell of stargazers!
What a beautiful photo, a pleasure for your readers to see. Isn't this regular sharing of our blessings a powerful thing!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell them. I loved the words you used, "drink deeply in the lovely perfume of a bloom".
ReplyDeleteI was eyeing up the flowers at our farmers market yesterday, and I was so tempted to buy some, but held back because of the cost. I finish my exams in two weeks' time, I think I will celebrate with some beautiful blooms.
Stopping by from Maxabellas.
You know, I'm just not a fan of lillies. They look gorgeous but I really font like their fragrance... However, if they are spontaneously from Cap V then I love them!
ReplyDeleteThe magnolias are out at my place and the first flush of freesias and hyacinths. And oh my I am so excited - my Daphne has a bud! Woot!

Gorgeous collection of lovely things, which represent so much. Have a gorgeous day, love Posie
ReplyDeleteLovely post!! I love that Cap V bought you flowers for no reason! So beautiful. Also glad that you are all beginning to feel better!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful post Felicity I have been trying to comments for weeks but have had some problems I hope this one works. Enjoy your week end too xo
ReplyDeleteAlways Wendy
Beautiful list of gratefulness. Your home sounds so lovely with the flower and starfish xo
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you too! An uplifting pot, there is so much to be thankful for isn't there. I love lilies too.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post. I greet each day with gratitude. Happy to see a new day and all that it holds. I am grateful for our bloggy friendship too. Sending Hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteMy husband came home yesterday with flowers, too. I smile each time I see them. Your list made me smile, too...such beautiful gratitude.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and summery, just perfect for a blustery, bitterly cold day here! I always snip the polleny bits off the lilies so they don't shed everywhere. Hope your weekend is wonderful! gxo
ReplyDeleteOh, Sweetheart. This is such an uplifting post - just the tonic I need. J x
ReplyDeleteYou write the way I wish I could. Just beautiful and evocative. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWallowing in the beauty of northern Michigan as I write this. Next time I will bring my laptop so I can post lovely captures while I am up here. I will just have to sit on my good friend and neighbor's porch next door to do so as we do not have internet hook up currently. It is too hard to wait until I get home to share the beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo many reasons to smile Felicity, wishing you a "healthy filled" kind of week xx
ReplyDeleteLove everything about that photo Felicity the frame with all the names is making my heart pine for the sunshine coast as I love it there & miss going so much, just thought of the lovely ice cream & cheese shop in Maleny brought a smile to my face :)))
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Lainey x
Note to MOTH - I'm overdue for a bunch of lilies mate, take a leaf out of Captain V's book!
