To my beloved friend.........

Let our dear one's that have gone before us.

Return this night and make merry with us

And when our time comes as it must,

Oh thou the Comforter the Consoler'

The Giver of peace and rest.

We will enter thy realms gladly and unafraid

For we know that ,

When rested and refreshed amongst our dear ones

We will be reborn again, by thy grace,

And the grace of the Great Mother.

Let it be in the same place, and at the same time'

As our beloved ones.

And may we meet, and know, and remember, and love them again.

May we all be blessed with happy memories on this eve
.

With much love for all those we have lost and still have in our hearts

Lynnxxx

Weekend Trend with Regard Magazine .... from work to Friday Night

So, we love the idea of vamping up a perfectly coiffed work dress for your Friday night excursions after hours. That perfect, great for work, dress only needs a few accessories to take it from office appropriate to sexy siren.

Here are the rules of Engagement:

Start by changing your shoes. If your dress is ultra conservative take some liberty with your shoe and have some fun.

Next, add a playful accessory like an unusual bug shaped earring, or jaguar watch bangle. They won't only make your outfit interesting, but may also make for interesting conversation starters. Work the room!

Finally, keep the pieces you need to transform your work dress to four or five pieces max. If the dress or work outfit you have in mind can’t be embellished with a few key items, then try another dress.

Check out the 3 style examples below to give you an idea of how to work it and have fun!

Ashley Greene’s $500 Halloween Costume Shopping Spree! Alice in Wonderland and Pirate Get-Ups for Her and Joe!

 

Ashley Greene had a very important date — to costume-shop at Halloween Express in Baton Rouge — and we know what she bought!

Ashley Greene did the Halloween shopping for herself and boyfriend Joe Jonas, and according to a source at Halloween Express in Baton Rouge, La., where she’s filming Breaking Dawn, she got over $500 worth of costumes.
We’re told she and Joe will have to make a choice — Alice in Wonderland-themed costumes (Alice  and the Mad Hatter) or pirate-wear — as she purchased his-and-her outfits for both.
Even Ashley’s pooch is going to have its own costume choice, because Ash picked up two outfits for the pup.
Ashley arrived in Bogota, Colombia Oct. 27 to support her BF while on his tour in South America! We’re totally jealous, and bet she brought the costumes along!

On Trend with Regard Magazine ....Cocktail Dresses

With the holidays fast approaching, it’s easy to allow the stresses of the season, and the financial hardships of the recession to hinder one from buying a new dress for that December office party, or holiday charity event. Fear Not. We have a solution: celebrity looks for a steal. 

Here are our picks for a great cocktail dress, in the same likeness as the very high-end Marchesa dress worn by Jada Pinkett‐Smith, for a deal. Enjoy!

Nick Jonas Needs His Beauty Sleep

Looks like it's past somebody's bedtime! Here we have Nick Jonas, yawning it up at last night's American League Championship Series game between the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers. As we have documented in the past, Nick Jonas is no stranger to baseball. Especially the seats and hot dog stands at Yankee Stadium. And last night the singer/actor/public thinker was in attendance to see his beloved Yanks get spanked by the Rangers. Which brought about this reaction:

In the top pic, Nick Jonas could very well be yawning to exhibit that cool, calm and collected vibe that permeates Yankees fans--a feeling that ain't over 'til it's over. Or he could still be feeling residual exhaustion from all the globe-trotting touring he's done with his Jonas Brothers this past summer.

But he's probably yawning because baseball games take a long time and go pretty late, and yawning is pretty much what one does after a couple of innings.

The Yankees and Rangers play game five this afternoon. No word on whether Nick Jonas will be in attendance; let's just hope he got a good night's rest beforehand.

On Trend.... with Regard Magazine...Mad Men

In the fall of 2007, the period TV phenomenon Mad Men, took the country by storm. Fast forward 3 years to now, fall 2010, and one of the chicest new trends for the season is all things inspired by 50’s ladylike silhouettes, and classic 60’s mod. 

However, unless you happen to be a member of the cast, there is no reason to emulate this trend from head to toe. Instead, mix these 50’s/60’s inspired pieces into the closet of regular staples you already own. Have Fun !  All images thanks to ModCloth.com.

Christmas Embroiderys

Thank you, so much for all of your comments last week, you really cheered me up with your kind words of support xxx
 I was so lost without the computer....and jam supplies were being threatened! fortunately wonderful husband Adrian came to the rescue and has patched me together xxxx for the moment ..
However gifted with lots of free evenings I have managed to have fun sewing, the above pictures are small snippets of what I have been up to...Top Shop have a fashion theme going called the Ice Princess.. I loved the sound of it so I am using fur and sequins and faded old silk glittery net and images from what I would imagine an Ice Princess would have lying around her cold and beautiful palace, I shall show you some more glistening, twinkly  bits later in the week.
I have booked for the Christmas Country Living Fair in Glasgow next month I thought it would make a lovely change from London, hope I bump into some of you there.  There are bound to be lots of wonderful Christmas ideas to share let me know if you are going xxxxx

Summer's End

Greetings, dear friends!

How is it that only yesterday I was helping my daughters press carrot seeds into the freshly dug dirt...

and just this morning I noticed that maple leaves
 have covered the now empty rows. 

And is there a distinct chill of frost in the air?

 Could the Summer Season really have passed by so quickly,

or could it be that I have been so caught up in all the details

that I did not notice that Autumn has long been at our door?

Come walk with me and visit some of the doings and goings on 

that have kept me away from visiting with  you

for much too long!

There was an Elven Slipper that finally found 
a Shoemaker faerie to add the finishing touches.

Her name was Givanni and she was born with no wings.

 She chose to live amongst the field mice...

and they
gave her flight

 upon their Thistledown.

 







  
 A special little Summer faerie who was inspired by the real dream of a real child.    
    FINALLY, an armature made that just might bend for the lifetime of a doll without breaking!Here is one with the face of a living angel...  

A tiny mite sculpted for my sister's birthday.   


 
A WIP Angel who will hopefully carry on her wings the glad tidings of the Christmas Spirit.    

   Lots of fresh eggs, and brand new babies...  
   Even a fresh coat of celery green house paintto compliment our bean patch.Sure to chase awayany winter blues.  

 

Field  fences reinforced to keep the goats...

and the cows out of the neighboring farmer's corn field.

 

Chubby handfuls of picked peapods

that never quite made it into the dinner pot.


 

 

   A rescued young chipmunk

who filled our mornings with exuberant antics.

 

And finally a chocolate raspberry cake baked with love

and thoroughly enjoyed on

 a (badly needed) refurbished front porch.

Watching the Sun set upon our full days...

So that is where the Summer went!!

I neglected to notice it's passing

 as I was enjoying every moment of it.

I hope your creative fields are bursting

 with bright blossoms

of days well spent...

And your Autumn is rich with many thankful reflections!

much love to you, Rose
