A Case of Love.........

Dearest Readers,

Years ago during a Christmas shopping trip for the Darlings, Dearest and I walked into a Victorian shop filled to the brim with interesting and unusual gifts.  I simply could not stop looking at a "quilt  case" that was on display.  I could imagine all the fun I might have changing vignettes for each season or month.  After oohing and ahhing for a few moments, we went on our way to finish our shopping.  I never gave it another thought...well, maybe a little.

Lo and behold, Dearest went back to that store and on Christmas morning he carried the beautiful case into our parlour!  You can imagine the tears rolling down my cheeks! 

Here we are years later and that "quilt case" still has pride of place in our front parlour.  I have changed the display to my Spring Finery Vignette, thinking of my Dearest as I gently placed each item in place.  A kindhearted man with a terrible "Case of Love".

 I am blessed, truly blessed!

Yours kindredly,

Shan

Dear Shan,
I enjoy your lovely writings and beautiful photos of all your wonderful happenings at Honey Hill Farm. I found you through dear Sharon's blog, Vintage Inspirations. I have wanted to leave a comment for some time!
Your quilt case is so beautiful! I love the pretty old-fashioned things you displayed in it. That was so very thoughtful and generous of your dear husband! I am blessed to have a thoughtful and generous husband too!
Your home is so beautiful and I love how you decorate and how you write about your life at your homestead, Honey Hill Farm!
Thank you for sharing!
The Lord bless you!
Paula

What a sweet romantic husband he is ~ love your treasures, especially the parasol. I have acquired a few Ladies Home Journals from 1911 ~ 1914, aren't they just grand?!!

Dear Shan,
You are welcome! Thank you so much for your kind note! I think you are already writing about many things I am interested in. I love all things homey... family, organic cooking and organic heirloom gardening, decorating, sewing, crafts, natural cleaning. I love old books, old homes and antiques. I will enjoy whatever you write about!
I have a blog too, if you would like to visit sometime, it is called Rose Cottage by the Lake.
Have a lovely evening!
Paula

For Lady Laurie.....

I have missed you while you take a break from blogging. How is the work on your house? I cannot wait until you are writing again, but understand the need to put a few things aside.

Yours very warmly,
Shan

What a beautiful gift to receive from a loving husband. You're display is just lovely and it must be so fun to change the display to suit the season or whatever catches your eye.
