And the vases! Wow, very beautiful.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205649445015116465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-30256261931087646092009-12-22T16:26:23.937+11:002009-12-22T16:26:23.937+11:00Hmm, I think whimsy might have gotten a bad reputa...Hmm, I think whimsy might have gotten a bad reputation. I think a bit of whimsy is a very good thing. It's only when it's overdone that it becomes sickly I think. I do not believe you could overdo it. You would always have the perfect amount of whim!<br /><br />I LOVE those vases. Especially the tall curved one (with the rose in) - how very very cool. <br /><br />And I totally agree with you on the e-cards. As much as I grumble to myself about writing Christmas cards, I do enjoy it and I especially enjoy receiving them. And I use the previous year's cards to remind me who to add to the list for next year.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-13554426585084363322009-12-22T15:25:54.257+11:002009-12-22T15:25:54.257+11:00oh and I kinda like whimsical.

And I'm a bit ho hum about cards when they have no personal content in them - To X from Y does not suggest there was any real meaning or interest in the act of writing a card.<br /><br />So I like to get cards made from a photo i've taken and try to write something personal on each one. Otherwise I just wouldn't bother!Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639104039967253280.post-33040059882477846822009-12-22T14:45:48.966+11:002009-12-22T14:45:48.966+11:00I think I'm going to have to review my attitud...I think I'm going to have to review my attitude to 'whimsy'. Not only have I bought Ysolda Teagues's books by that name, and knitted objects from them, but now you, Barbara, have presented it in a most flattering light.

That the entry allowed one's mind to wander off to pastures not often visited - not with any high emotion, but with a sense of easy adventure. I like the word and so wanted to give it a wrap of sorts.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944051724120957767noreply@blogger.com
