thank you for visiting today - i loved reading your answers. celdon - that is one of the most beautiful colors. and emily dickinson. yes. and i love cotton too.
i see a bit of whimsy, practicality and passion all wrapped up in the answers.
That was beautiful! I like that you are a peach, a robin, and motherly love. I need to think about that for a while ... mull it over. I might post that on my blog, too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fun fun...leaves me thinking about my answers. A beautiful exercise of thought. I adore many of yours.
Such a great list! Chicago yes! My former hometown but still in my heart. Such a lovely blog you have...so glad to have found you.
i love the amber with a mosquito, i wish i'd thought of that! :-)
and i think your soft breeze is much nicer than my hurricane. :-)
it's been lots of fun reading everyone's take on this. i found it was a deeper exercise than i at first thought.
This is such a wonderful idea. It was great to read your answers - like getting to know someone from looking at their bookshelves! If I were I month, I'd be October - in New England!
I love this idea! I have mine written up in draft form... when I post it I'll send a note your way :)
I found you through ravelry... I', kathykoo
