Dwelling With French Iron

is surely home, for there the heart can rest."

    Complete peace. A dwelling where safety, inspiration and love abide is truly home. Doré, what a great find, that candelabra! I wish I could show you my theatre and how I fixed it. You would approve! Maybe a quick email to show you photos. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Anita

    Ohoooooooooooooooooo, your Hannah has a room divine! Well, I won´t show it to my Faye, as she has to live in this tiny tiny place, that we call the hatbox. Not that she is disappointed...
    This bed alone is worth KILLING someone, hahaha, very very impressing.
    So my love to you - dearest greetings as well to Hannah the beautiful createur of the mermaid crown, I love so much, hugs and kissies to you, Méa

    I agree with your wonderful quotes...there's nothing better than coming home to our sanctuaries where we're surrounded with much beauty.

    Doré how a visit to your home soothes the edge off an uneasy world. A dwelling of peace, of love and creative brilliance. I hold peace in my heart with every beat of my existence . . . I wish everyone could experience how serene and beautiful your home is and maybe just maybe they will hold a view of how peaceful looks and let it enter their hearts. I am of course referring to the violence in foreign lands.
    Loving the little changes in Hannah's room and I noticed a few new Burlap Luxe beauties. Stunning my friend. A room to dream in, the bed is art, how I adore that bed.
    I have a 4 candle floor candelabra in our LR. Mine is now vintage since John and I purchased it from an art gallery 34 years ago to mark a wedding anniversary. All winter every evening we burn candles in it with no fear of Max or Simon causing a mishap because it's high enough. Mine is a handcrafted on the side of modern piece ... yours I just nearly passed out in excitement over. OMGosh it is magnificent! What a find that as I know has become a treasured piece that makes your heart sing!
    Wishing you, Hannah and Pia Bleu (she's 1 now?) a blissful weekend.
    Sending love XOXO,
    Vera

    Dearest Dore,
    I don't know how I managed to miss this beautiful post..
    Hannah's room is so comforting.
    Your gentle soul is apparent in every room... I love the ironwork.

    Thank you so much for visiting Dexter, and leaving such a kind comment.. You know, I was going through my keepsake box the other day and came across your sweet note you had sent along with the wool you gifted me.. As I re-read the note, it just warmed my heart. The kindness you have shown me makes my heart happy.
    Wishing you a beautiful weekend dear friend.
    blessings,
    Penny
