I Wish....

Homewood



White Flowers in downtown Homewood is one of the most beautiful shops in Birmingham.  As the name implies, EVERYTHING in the store is in shades of white, from the floor to the ceiling and all of the merchandise.  They have a fabulous selection of candles, soaps, jewelry, keepsakes, gift items,  clothing and owner/designer Diana Holman's very special line of tee shirts and other ladies wear.  Recently I passed at night and the window was magical.  The lovely poem in the window expresses my feelings for all of you.

I wish you wondrous things
that can't be tied up 
in ribbons and bows.

I wish you thoughts that take 
you to magnificent places.

I wish you togetherness and
                                                  abundant  happiness.

                                                        And I wish you quiet times
                                                        all to yourself when the grace
                                                        of all that is good in your life
                                                        is sweetly celebrated within.
                                                                                        White Flowers

Merry Christmas to all of you my dear and faithful readers,
V

I wish...that a particular kind of fruit is completely out of your consciousness today. The photo has ephemeral beauty. We are flying to NY tomorrow, which does not have ephemeral beauty, unless East Coast snow gets in the way, which it might.

V, I am a day late in saying I hope you had a lovely Christmas...I was thinking about you and Miss Meeps - her first Christmas! I had problems with my computer and couldn't get a note to you. A beautiful post from a beautiful blogger and friend!
