Home is where the heart is
“Where we love is Home
Home is where our feet may leave, but never our hearts.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Photo for Sky Watch Friday, not such a stunning sky but pretty all the same and a change for me from all the usual tropical sunshine.
"If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one life the aching
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain"
Emily Dickinson
Melissa of the Inspired Room is hosting a week long nesting party to celebrate the change of seasons and her new site. Lots of decorating inspiration on her site with oodles of links to others from around the world who are busy feathering their nest, giveaways, raks and more. Click Here and be prepared to be inspired.
Shabby chic appears to be contagious, after reading crafting and creative blogs for only a little while, the urge to repaint everything cream has become uncontrollable. Photo evidence of the beginings of a shabby beach cottage in shades of Caramel & Cream with a splash of Cranberry and these are links of those who are responsible for leading me astray.

Pretty! What a lovely gift that makes!
I have been puchasing Jill's soaps and body products for quite some time! She does make the most delightful items with quality ingredients. Her wrappings are always great, with lots of attention to detail. She also makes almost everything she sells in her Saturday Boutique. I believe she does make everything she offers on her web site. She is a talented person, and above all else, she is a wonderful person!
PS This is not a paid testimonial--I just saw your name on her comment section and came over to visit you and you were talking about JILL! I just had to add my two cents! Have a great day. Dana

Pretty decor, thanks for sharing.
I loved both of these quotes so much. May I use them in an upcoming post? I will credit you for them.
The first one reminds me of my beloved. He died 8 months ago the 3rd of October.
He wanted to come home so badly..But home was always in his heart.
