I have been tagged by Vinod to list five things in my bedroom.
Apart from all the usual bedroom furniture and accessories, there are a few interesting objects, books, and pictures to talk about.
Also
List four things you like about yourself.
List three of your favorite pastimes.
List three of your favorite quotes.
If you are hearing music playing then it is from my previous post and the music is Secret Garden.
The framed prints above are from a shop in Sydney that specialised in prints from an artist called Alison. On a vacation I found her shop and loved her art work so much that I decided to buy these 4 small prints in the one frame. They are paintings from different venues around Sydney. I was born in Sydney and this little collection remains a favorite. Also in the front is a Book I bought at an airport for something to read on the flight. I love it it's called
Shakespeare on Love.
A quote from this book as one of my quotes is:
What is Love
Silvius " it is to be all made of fantasy.
All made of passion and all made of wishes"
My butterfly lady lamp represents my work and the transformation I think that was made possible for many women, through my chosen career.
Ah! yes more books.
The top one is A Guide for the Advanced Soul.
It is actually a whole book of quotes however I will open it as it says and ponder a moment and
then write the quote ' 2 ' that I open it to :
Be like a very small joyous child
living gloriously in the ever present Now
without a single worry or concern
about even the next moment of time.
Eileen Caddy
The Dawn of Change.
I also love this Oval Wall Plaque.
Many years ago I attended an all day workshop and this was my creation.
Using the technique of decoupage I started with raw materials and not only did I paint the frame but also made the dimensional effect of the flowers sitting up from the basket, by using a type of modeling clay. We still do the layering of decoupage but with extra help from the built up and painted clay, The flowers stand out and are not all flat on the surface like normal decoupage. The desired effect was to make this piece look antique and as if it has been handed down through the generations. Actually it worked out very well. One day it may become an heirloom piece.
Let me talk some more about the books from my stack in the photo above.
The Alchemist is there.
As is a very old copy of the Art of Loving, so old in fact it is falling apart.
Then there is a children's book called "Love is a Special Way of Feeling'
I found it at a stall and it is such a sweet little book printed in 1965.
Now I must list three favorite pastimes.
I think reading and writing just might show up as favorites.
Travelling is another and that can . even mean discovering my own back yard.
Actually there are many, many more than three I can not forget that I do so much enjoy the interaction I have here on 360 with my friends.
Thank You Friends.
List four things you like about yourself.
My sense of fun and humour.
My open mind.
My ability to comprehend and understand with empathy.
I love that I can see" that the glass is half full and not half empty."
Last quote:
The foundation of beauty is the heart and every generous thought
illustrates the walls of your chamber.
Francis Quarles.

Cheers Milli.
