May beauty and goodness prevail in our hearts.....

beauty is necessary in our lives as is goodness. how can we live our lives without seeing the beautiful smile of a little child or the softness of a velvet flower. our hearts are akin to the goodness that is born in all things and all people that are beautiful. i look for beauty everywhere and and in everyone. i hope for goodness to shine through each heart and especially in my own, for i cannot share beauty and goodness if i can't find it in myself, first.

Beautiful antiques and vintage objects......

i love old things....antiques are so inspiring and amazing. my husband and i have been collecting and selling antiques and vintage objects for the last year and a half and we are always so touched by everything we find. there is such a feeling of history, emotion and beauty. i grew up surrounded by lovely old things. my mother collected antiques all of her life, so i was able to appreciate and learn about all of these pretty things as i grew up. i am so grateful to her for her love of old things. it taught me to appreciate history and to respect others.
