Kept by ourselves in silence and apart,
The secret anniversaries of the heart.

    1. Thanks Monique! I had several porcelain dolls for a while, but they were more like dust-collectors than anything else. I have seen Christmas Tree Angels with acetate cones for the bases! I love CK colours also! xoxo

  2. I really need to clean and organize my refrigerator so I really appreciated those tips for today. It's so jam packed I can't seem to find anything. Your roast chicken dinner looks divine too so I'll be checking out the recipe. Have a wonderful weekend !
