Poetic Beauty


"If you cannot be a poet, be the poem."


Old beautiful resourcefulness, creating beauty poetically.


Inspiring the depths of ones soul. (Web inspired photos)


Thanking beautiful Kim over at Bella Rustica
for gifting me her poetic beauty with one of her beautiful creations.
Sometimes someone dear does something beautiful that catches your attention adding something exquisite, exceptional and oh so euro flea market elegant to the muted palette of ones decor, Kim at Bella Rustica added that poetic beauty to my day. If you have not had a chance to visit Bella Rustica please do so while taking in the beauty she inspires. Now! I am off to place my pillow in a place I can glance at often.

    Bonjour ma belle,

    Thank you for coming to visit me my friend. Yes, without daydreams we would not have those "night jobs" of working in our Etsy shops, writing our posts, thinking of how to create something, or even having the will to get up and go out to our jobs. Thank you for being a dreamer that never gives up.

    I will be around; I just need to tell MYSELF that next week I can't post because I will be staying late at school to work and get my grades in for report cards....a lot of work!!! LOVE TO YOU Anita

    What a perfect new treasure for your beautiful home Dore!
    When you said if you can't be the poet be the poem, it reminded me of a poem my son wrote about me many years ago...I think I will re-read that today, thank you!

    Hi Dore,
    Such a gorgeous pillow. It is so wonderful when someone gifts you with something that is so utterly perfect for you. It makes your heart soar to know that someone is truly listening, and hears the poetry of your heart song.
    Big hugs,

    Ma belle,

    I see you came by....you must be so busy. I too. I didn't post last week because I was so busy with report cards, and now I am so exhausted. I hope my new post was not terrible; your words were few, and I have a feeling that this post will be a DUD. BUT, your quote up above, "IF YOU CANNOT BE THE POET, BE THE POEM" is encouraging to me. BECAUSE my reality is that I am too busy to sit down to write something beautiful, but I can be BEAUTIFUL in my actions in life. Hmmm....thank you.

    LOVE! Anita

    OH! I AM GETTING A NEW CHAIR TODAY from Restoration Hardware, in LINEN and distressed wood!!!!!!!!
