DON'T FORGET TO TAKE IT EASY, SIT DOWN, AND SMELL THE ROSES



Today is a day for soul searching for me! Why am I so different? I hear the rich and famous, the poor and the plain alike say they like this and that, and it is always so fancy. I like Retro 1970s for the most part and the Depression Era look, too. I adore reading Reminisce books (based on the magazine by the same name). Well, I will make two comments: First, I do not like hotels. I find that no bed in the world offers the comfort of HOME. Second, I value a wrapping such as the one above, a lovey gift-wrap and it is a humble wrapping,so pretty. A toast to the Retro Shabby and the French Chic! They blend well ... You know what I mean ... I recall that in Rio de Janeiro I purchased a few items. The pink tissue paper was strong and lovely, and the most elegant pink flowers were placed inside the gifts. I was touched by so much detail. We live in a fast moving, high tech society and we all have such busy lives ... Please, live and keep occupied, but 'DON'T FORGET TO SMELL THE ROSES,' their fragrance is called living well without fuzz!
