How are my lovely friends doing?
Hope you all had a great weekend. It's great to be back after last week's unrest in our English cities. The future is always uncertain but life goes on.

So here are my Monday inspirations.
Hope you like them.

When my daughter was three, I said: "May you find true love. That is my greatest wish."
Yesterday, I asked her: "what's my greatest wish for you, Olivia?"
She said: "true love".

My husband brings me coffee on my sidetable every morning
from the first day we shared our love nest.
Tomorrow, I'll make coffee and bring this toast to him.

Paper art is one of the most difficult medium in art and design.
It requires the steady hand of a surgeon.


Marian Bantjes for Saks Fifth Avenue; (I found my name inside this heart!)
Another stunning art from Canadian Marian Bantjes.
Did you find all the words?
Visit her site. You won't be disappointed.

Today is Italy's Ferragosto ­­­­­- a national holiday to celebrate the end of hard labour in the fields.
Last night, we watched their impressive fireworks from the marina.
Since my camera was playing up, I found this photo instead.

Love is a magical feeling.

Sans toi, les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne seraient que la peau 
morte des émotions d'autrefois.
Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.
-Hipolito (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, 2001)

Love's infinity is a mystery that will never be solved.
Why would anyone want to?

True love leads to eternal happiness.
Life is short but always sweeter when lived in love.

I hope that everyone's still in love.
For those seeking: "don't give up until you drink from the silver cup".

All my love,

Joy x

    @Sacramento - Peak District is our climbing spot. Also great for long walks. It's closer to Sheffield and Derbyshire and quite far from the Lake District. Would love to meet you at some point. :) xx
