days wanting to take photos and post a little happiness for you all but it's been one of those whirlwind weeks, filled to the brim with responsibility more than play.  finally, this morning, almost a week later, i am able to take a little quiet response.  still with little time and few materials to create but luckily with great flea markets to visit on fridays and saturdays (the really cheap one vs. the relatively cheap one) and many gorgeous finds to take home with me to put up for sale in my etsy shop. and most of them with roses, an obsession with the oncoming spring colors and scents.

and there was cake and candles too since my friend Patty celebrated her birthday yesterday with a apread of arab food

Patty, Rosario, Pauli & Sole who is 81/2 months pregnant, one of the most venerable families i have ever met.
