ReplyDeleteHi Chari,
ReplyDeleteJust read your sweet note, your so kind my friend! This is so beautiful! Your photography skills just keep getting better and better. I just love the silver with the white, it just takes me to another time. When things were so elegant and maybe simpler. You just know how to work it girl! MAGAZINE READY! Hugs, Cindy
Everything looks so beautiful!!! And your silver is all polished!!! Sorry that I haven't been around much lately. I've been taking care of my mom for the past few days since she had her heart surgery. Family comes first! I haven't even started my Valentine's decoration. My goal is to get something up this weekend. But then I think why even bother for one week. But I love Valentine's Day. I'll talk to you later.
