Dearest Suzy, first of all let me thank you again for giving so many bloggers a real chance to win part of your treasures. Although I would have LOVED to be drawn, I am happy for the winners and congratulate them without envy! I know, they will appreciate your work!
ReplyDeleteBut as you say, the sun always casts a shadow: I am sorry about the loss of your Bessie. I have always had pets and I know, how much one can get close to them and how they develop an own character once you take the chance to have a closer look. The photo, you have shared with us, however, is a great and unique memory!
Hugs, dearest Suzy, from Manu

I'm so sorry about your sweet Bessie Suzy. She is such a pretty girl and I know you will miss her. Isn't it interesting how we can long for our lovely creatures after they are gone. I have pets I still miss like my very first horse and my beautiful whippet Desi. I always seem to be looking for them in my dreams.
ReplyDeleteYour giveaway is amazing my sweet friend. You always have beautiful gifts to share. I still can't get over how much I loved your studio post. I can't believe how much beauty you have in there. No wonder you create so many gorgeous pieces of artwork!
I hope your winter is going well. I know that spring will be upon you soon and again you will be in your garden working like crazy. I go to bed every night so tired but it is a wonderful kind of tired. I know that you know how that is. I love the garden and I love the work.
Have a good week my sweet friend so far away.
much love...
Suzy
