Sweet Violets Stationery

"I smelt the violets

in her hand and asked,

half in words, half in signs,

a question which meant

Is love the sweetness

of flowers?"

~ Helen Keller ~

Violets are starting to pop

up through the grass. My daughter's

been gathering them in tiny bouquets.

We keep them in a special place, on a

sunny windowsill. Aren't those little

bouquets the best?

"It often happens to children

and sometimes to gardeners

that they are given gifts of value

of which they do not perceive

until much later."

A Pretty Girl

“I believe in being

strong when everything

seems to be going wrong.

I believe that happy girls

are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow

is another day, and I

believe in miracles."

~ Audrey Hepburn ~

Was thinking of my sister-in-law April

as I created this aqua-themed collage &

and chose an Audrey Hepburn quote
