The House That A-M Built: Life Is Too Short...

Life Is Too Short...

... to NOT burn your best candles on your best candelabrum... every day....even if it doesn't fit in the 'abode' and has to sit outside on the BBQ.

Best candles, best teacups, best china, best soaps, best linen.... use them.... now... I say!

Happy Thursday!

A-M xx

fabric epiphanies said...: I have location envy....oh to be enjoying the great outdoors in the dark....nights are getting too cold here now. You just don't get the same effect in a jacket and winter woolies! Those frosty wintery scenes look nice but give me a tropical climate any day!; Thursday, April 21, 2011

B is building a house said...: Too true A-M :); Thursday, April 21, 2011
Suzi said...: Absolutely!
Its funny how we never use the "good" things - I was never allowed to touch my mums "good scissors" as a child so all cutting was done with blunt ones, the "good" silver put away in a drawer somewhere that has never even been used. You are right we must LIVE this life and let the good candles burn!; Thursday, April 21, 2011
