A splash of colour

Hello everyone!
I hope you're having a wonderful weekend

On my walk back from having my hair done on Friday, I couldn't resist buying these pretty peonies.
They are only around for such a short time so did not want to miss out.
Every girl needs to treat herself now and again and I am sure you would agree with me.

Another thing I enjoy is relaxing with candle light, makes the room so cozy and romantic

Makes waking up early a pleasure, when you can look out the window  to see a beautiful sunrise 

Today the peonies have opened up and I think they look like a frilly petticoat.
Happiness is about loving what you have and been grateful for it.
Enjoy the rest of your day
hugs

    1. Thank you for your visit and the decorating has been going slowly. As the weather has been lovely have been spending time out in the garden and will wait until a rainy day before I do anymore.

  6. Dear Carolyn, you've shared some beautiful images. A wonderful sunrise, comforting candles all in a row that have created reflections in that pretty window and gorgeous peonies. The quote is so true. Thank you for leaving a much appreciated message on my blog. I hope that you have a good new week. An affectionate hug from me, Linda xx

  10. How I love peonies! They don't grow in my neck of the woods, so every year I wait for them to make their appearance at the markets. And every year I seem to miss them. :( At least I can enjoy them here. Thank you. Have a lovely week! xo

  11. I loved this post of color, Carolyn, and what a beautiful sunrise. The candles look so cozy on the window sill. I like how all five of them are shining with a warm glow. Such a pretty sight.

    love, ~Sheri

  12. Dearest Carolyn,
    Those Peonies were lovely and very attractive for abandoning the thought of adoption...
    Love candles too, and the fragrant ones, not artificial scents but meaningful ones.
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette

  17. Dearest Carolyn,
    your peonies are really pretty - what a wonderful colour! Oh yes, and I also love candle-light. Although we had a beautiful and sunny autumn and this November is unusually war and sunny for Austrian conditions, it's getting dark very early now and the mornings, nights and evenings are cold, too - so candlelight is perfect for a good mood :-))
    Hugs my dear and have a happy weekend!
