love thursday: hand-picked centerpiece

Hand-picked by P, of course, and then given to me . . . just because.

Aren’t these the best kind of gifts? The “I thought of you when I saw this” kind?

I know Mary agrees with me.

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

    Hey I missed your last 3 posts but I’m up to scratch now. Love those freaky catacombs, I’ve been to the ones in Rome and they are amazing, bones, bones and more bones used to decorate all the rooms from chandeliers to chairs and ceiling roses. It’s weird and stunning in a good way! I’m like you, if I know it’s there I have to go and see it.

    As for the gorgeous salad, it looks great. I could eat it every single day. All that and flowers too!
