The incredible sea loving Horses of Carmague

The Horses of Carmague
Photographed by Irene Suchocki








I recently purchased a series of amazing photographs of the Horses of Carmague from Montreal based photographer and artist, Irene Suchoki. One of my very best friends is an avid horsewoman and I thought these photographs would be a great addition to her collection.  She was overwhelmed by the beauty of these incredible sea loving animals that are so beautifully captured by Irene. Check out Irene's incredible work in her Etsy Shop.  

Hope your having an amazing start to your week....Enjoy!

A French inspired note....

I just arrived home from a quick trip...and am taking a few days to get caught up before I head out to NYC.  Thank goodness I was not there today, I hear from all my friends that it was snowing, sleeting, freezing and otherwise miserable outside.

So when I got home, I had a nice surprise waiting for me...my order of note cards created by Donna from My Shabby Chateau.  Donna had sent some of her handmade note cards along with a recent order I placed from her Etsy Shop and I fell in love with them.  They are the most beautiful cards that I have ever seen...these photos just do not do them justice.  So I ordered four sets...to give away as gifts over the next few months.

So - starting off with the beautiful packaging....



To a gorgeous, vintage music inspired paper rose....


To the beautiful cards...that were individually wrapped in a sealed package ready to present as a gift...




Of course...I'm keeping a set for myself as Donna was kind enough to include an extra set for me.....here is a sample of a few of the cards from my set....







Aren't these gorgeous?  The little details are amazing proving to me, once again ..why would I ever buy a factory made card when handmade are so beautiful.  They are almost too nice to use.  But use them...I shall!  Hope you are having a great week.
