This old vase has gone too but I always had some beach flowers in it from the beach in front of my old house.
I love this wee arrangement from my old bathroom of flowers I grew in the community garden.
I picked up Daughter at the airport a few hours ago. I've missed her as she was in Toronto for nearly 2 weeks. We talked non-stop over a Singapore noodle dinner. She had a wonderful trip and caught up with family and friends including her father. But she's glad to be back here "to my wonderful life" she calls it. I agree. There's something about this place that feels so "home" to both of us. Hard to explain to anyone else, truly, it's so visceral.
What fun to wonder the destinies of old possessions that have passed on. Did the next finder use them for the same purpose. Did the blue vase meet a sad end and become beach glass? There is no more or less in the world, but perhaps different. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, and you in your new abode. Yes, I wonder they are now, I was very limited in my downsizing and hung on to very few bits.

Love all your vases (and flowers). Love even more that both you and your daughter are thrilled she is home.
ReplyDeleteThanks EC. I am so happy she's back and safe.

Your vases are lovely, I don't own a single one. With my hayfever I can't have flowers inside the house.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever lived in a place that truly felt like home, probably because we moved so often.
It has taken me a while River to find that feeling unrelated to Ireland where I was reared. I feel such a strong connection here.

I am not surprised that your daughter and you feel so comfortable in your well settled environment. My son, daughter in love and I too are most comfortable when we return to Pune from wherever we go when we do. Places grow on us I guess.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely you have that too Ramana, not too common I hear.

ReplyDeleteTrue I would imagine Gemma, I was so surprised when she originally moved out here.

I can well believe there's something special about that place. We see it in your photos, and we hear it in your descriptions of the place and people.
