And as I read your recent comment about how you are knitting in a Bloomsbury Blue then saw my header, I rejoiced. I have "Periwinkle Blue" on my mind these days! Though I love the white landscape and the grays and natural tones, a splash of blue, any blue, is welcomed. <br /><br />We are the messengers of good will, good works, and even "miracles" - those timely moments when someone needs a hand, anything....and it gives me chills. <br /><br />YOUR kind words are felt through the computer screen, they really are. Thank you for always being there. Now, I am hoping you share that new Bloomsbury Blue sweater when it is done!<br /><br />Bisous, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-14112537798411001512014-02-24T14:02:06.213+01:002014-02-24T14:02:06.213+01:00what a lovely post, Stephanie! how could i not pu...what a lovely post, Stephanie! how could i not put that book on my to-read list??? and Rosie's little knit bolero sweater...just the cutest!!!stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462819419868208831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-27477711334627883822014-02-22T09:28:34.500+01:002014-02-22T09:28:34.500+01:00Dear Stephanie,

I appreciate it's reflection of an historic period so foreign to my modern experience. I appreciate meeting your Rosie Pierpoint who is uniquely lovable, and exquisitely fashioned. And I appreciate all of your photos, especially the photo of the door where you had Rosie's photographic shoot.<br /><br /> I used a tiny to me crochet hook to crochet a bib for my infant granddaughter, Rose, and posted a photo a couple of days ago. While it is not lacework, it helps me have a greater appreciation for lacework and the beautiful lace you used for your Rosie's attire.<br /><br />Thanks for posting :) xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-57746939346683859142014-02-19T20:10:38.482+01:002014-02-19T20:10:38.482+01:00Dear Stephanie,

That book sounds very interesting - I like historical novels that have lots of "material detail".<br /><br />That painting of Charles II is rather fascinating - for some reason it makes me think of Dali's work. (The colouring perhaps?) I keep looking at it, expecting to see something surreal in the garden, but not finding it. And what an enigmatic expression on Charles's face. Is he bored? Self-conscious? Or slightly smug? And yet there's a kind of twinkle in his eye as if he were sharing a joke with the viewer. How fun to speculate about his coat - though it be chocolate-coloured without, it may be gloriously orange and beflowered within. Perhaps that's why he's smiling. :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021767487568808447.post-61522408067978543612014-02-17T00:44:26.130+01:002014-02-17T00:44:26.130+01:00She is gorgeous.
