  1. Oh my.....I have been kissed by bliss this week, seeing you, exchanging magic moon reflections on the water, blue birds, magic cottages in the forest, dreams, smiles and tales of rabbit tails. I am always honored to see that my work has made it onto your post my dear sister. How blessed I am to know you. As I type, I can see our newest addition to Rabbit Hill's inhabitants: A FEMALE DUCK. I wonder if she is nurturing some eggs in our front garden! And she is now taking a drink from the many puddles made after today's rain!

    BLESS YOU! THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL POST INDEED!!!!!!!!! (look at those special bunnies!)

  2. Hello Gypsy Lady!

    I love your happy moments: lilac and bunnies are so fabulous.

    We've had many sweet moments this week. One of my favourites was cycling with my son along the banks of the Loire river and up through the vineyards. He asked if we could stop and rest in my favourite wild orchard for a short moment of respite. It was special.

  3. oh how lovely to be here! some of my most magical moments, listening to your forest sounds and seeing those bunnies I just wanted to hold and feel their warmth and fur !!! also.....taking pictures to post, listening to some of the birds here, wearing jasmine and plumeria in my hair so that every move I make sends fragrance to me!.....I love lilacs and used to buy them all the time, their scent can stop me in my tracks too. Those spirals in the sunflower! wow, can take you into Alice's Wonderland, yes? more fav moments, sending little gifts to unsuspecting people lol, watching jewel toned prisms on my walls, and still loving fresh Bohemian Whites everywhere in various textures. hugs!

  5. My sister,

    Thank you for coming to visit my post. There is so much to be said about the last 17 years of living here, really LIVING here, and not just inhabiting this home.

    OUR NEIGHBOR DAN, he build his little gnome home! ISN'T THAT FUN? The neighbors are really getting more into making their gardens crisp and clean and painting, building...it is so fun to watch.

    I can't wait to see your balcony my dear.....soon, I KNOW IT! LOVE! Anita

  7. Dear Irina,
    It seems we all crave what you have just offered with your lovely post - a treat for all the senses! I have a lilac tree outside my front door, so the walk up and down the path is heavenly at this time of year. My recent bikes rides up and down the hills at a nearby park are filled with a variety of earthy fragrances and rushing water sounds - and I live right in a city! Have a wonderful week dear soul sister! jc

  8. How wonderful to see your comment, Irina!
    Wow! Has it been that long since I posted anything?? It shows you how insanely busy I am at the moment...weddings, weddings, and even more weddings!
    I really enjoyed the lovely photos...I LOVE bunnies and have quite a few on this farm. They're so adorable!
    I hope you're enjoying the warm weather. FINALLY... It seems like we were just complaining of the snow and bitter cold and now we're complaining of the dreaded humidity! It's been absolutely brutal here with extremely HIGH humidity. NOT fun designing weddings in such heat...the poor brides!
    Thank you, dear friend, for coming to visit me.
    Huge hugs to you! xo

  11. Aaaahhh, sweet little bunnies. Whenever I visit my dad and mom at the cemetary, bunnies always run across the field and I get a glimpse of them. I just love the 'friends' picture, it's so vintage. I can smell the lilacs from here.

    Have a nice Friday.

    Love,

  12. Thank you so much for coming by!
    I'm so sorry I've been out of commission for so long (poor Anita--I'm sure she thinks I've lost my mind! haha) but I'm really overwhelmed with weddings! I've just posted my latest wedding that was last weekend. It was a huge success but boy am I exhausted!! Just as soon as I'm done with one... the next affair is here!
    It's so wonderful to see you come by for a visit...thank you, dear friend.
    Hope you're enjoying your summer so far.
    Huge hugs! Lisa xo

  14. Hi, Irina - Ooooopsie! I'm just a little late here. Sorry for being so tardy, my friend. Have been busy with work. And getting ready for a couple of trips abroad.

    Beautiful photos!! Those bunnies are so cute :) We just have mean raccoons here in the city :(

    I hope the weather is finally warming up for you all. The lilacs are beautiful. I love lilacs but they don't like our heat.
    Cheers,
    Loi

  15. Hello dear Irena, thank you for stopping by at my blog. Thank you for leaving a comment. I love those bunnies you posted. How did you manage to capture the moment without scaring them away? Everything seem in bloom on your neck of the woods. And your lilac are simply gorgeous, I wish one day I could grow them. That's in my bucket list of plants to grow. Hope you have a blessed week

    Hugs,

    Aida

    Thank you for coming by and leaving such lovely compliments... I really appreciate it.
    I LOVE what I do and I always hope it shows through my designs. Weddings are so much fun for me to design!
    It's hard to believe I have this amazing barn venue that I have carte blanche to create as I care to! So much fun!
    Wishing you a beautiful week, my friend....

  18. Dear sister, I can't believe I almost skip this beautiful post... Love the photos and the simple pleasures you are sharing here. It's all about taking a few moments from life's hustle and bustle to ponder the miracle of everyday joys, isn't it. Enjoy June's abundance!

  19. Hello sweet Irina!

    I am already missing the
    old fashioned lilacs, even
    as my peonies burst forth.
    I feel like this spring is set
    on "fast-forward!"

    I have read most of Alexandra
    Stoddards books. I wrote to her
    last year on her published e-mail
    for readers, but was disappointed
    that she never responded : ( I do
    know that she keeps a very busy
    schedule, though....

    Hope you and your little one are
    enjoying this heavenly weather
    outside, now that she is done with
    school for the year!

    xo Suzanne
