Under the Winter Snow

"Every gardener knows
that under the cloak of winter
lies a miracle... a seed waiting
to sprout, a bulb opening
to the light, a bud straining
to unfurl. And the anticipation
nurtures our dream."

~ Barbara Winkler ~

 

I've made 3 printable sheets of pastel rose tags. 

They're similar, with subtle differences.

I know you'll put them to good use ~ enjoy!

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with

the sun's love in the spring

becomes the rose

A Sentimental Journey

"Winter, a lingering

season, is a time to gather

golden moments, embark

upon a sentimental journey,

and enjoy every idle hour."

~ John Boswell ~

 

This is a c. 1902 postcard that I altered

from black & white to sepia tone and pastels.

I just love her expression.  Below is a printable

sheet of tags or bookmarks for you ~ enjoy!

"By recollecting the

pleasures I have had formerly,

I renew them, I enjoy them

a second time, while I laugh at

the remembrance of troubles

now passed, and which
I no longer feel."

~ Giacomo Casanova ~


Where would a sentimental

journey lead you today?
