“I feel as if
I had opened a book
and found roses of yesterday
sweet and fragrant,
between its leaves.”
~ L.M. Montgomery ~
Have you ever opened an old book
and found pressed flowers or leaves?
Isn't it a pleasant little surprise?

Thanks for stopping by!!
Yes,I have and I love that!! I also like to put photos in between pages of books,and come across them years later..
ReplyDeleteI have an urge to read something by L M Montgomery. Beautiful roses, Megan.
Thank you Lucy!! I took some clover from Olivia's bouquet and pressed it in an old book... then I showed her what I did and she was fascinated by it ~ I'd like to collect more flowers and leaves together... especially this summer :) That quote is beautiful, isn't it? I've come across many quotes by L.M. Montgomery that I love :)
DeleteWhere do you find all of these wonderful quotes at? I really like how each quote you choose seems to go perfectly with your posts.
ReplyDeleteI create my artwork, then go out in search of a quote or verse to accompany it... part of the fun, I admit :) Here are a few of my favorite sites...
Deletehttp://www.quotegarden.com/
http://www.gardendigest.com/quotes.htm
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes
http://www.openbible.info/topics/
Part of the challenge is knowing where to look, the other is knowing what category you'd like to delve into... but it's fun reading all the same!
Thanks for asking :) If I find any more really great sites, I'll let you know!
Beautiful colors. I'm also a fan of Lucy Maude. Thanks for the quote, and for the pretties.
ReplyDeleteThank you... my wedding bouquet was made up of roses in yellows and peachy-pinks, and now we grow roses in our garden in those colors... seems fitting, doesn't it? Happy you liked everything :)
DeleteDid I comment here already??? I obviously have about a one minute attention span lol! Anyway, LOVE LOVE LOVE these! Thank you Megan ♥
ReplyDeleteLori, I'm so glad you really love these :) They are some of my favorites as well! You're welcome :)
DeleteLove the quote very fitting for the roses and you always seem to find just the right one for all the beautiful creations you make. Thank you for sharing them, they are truly lovely. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phyllis! I didn't know what to title this post, and then I found the quote and it all tied together :)
DeleteBeautiful roses and tags, thank you, dear Megan.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Bärbel
These are exquisite, thanks so much for sharing them for free! I hope you will share a few basic tips about your PS techniques in a tutorial one of these days.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, Me again just was thinking how cool it would be to have the quotes printed on the round tags and the poetry verses on the other tags and labels you have created. Would make for a great collection for a mini album to have all of those on hand in one little album to admire the artwork and the quotes and verses. Just a thought and thanks so much for sharing your favoirte quote sites too.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Thank you so much. I saw that you stopped by my blog, thank you for your kind comment, and I am glad you enjoyed it there. Your welcome anytime. Hugs
