Hello and greetings from Down Under.
When we so carefully planned our extensive house renovations little did we know how much can go wrong. How much can consume you, swallowing time and wearing away at your spirit.
Here we are almost 6 months in with a great deal of our life packed up and still stored away....has anyone seen my watch?
Renovation Fatigue has certainly become a nasty, insidious side effect!
However, today I present for comment my contribution to the Rose tag theme this week.
I adore the lush, full blown and highly perfumed divas of the rose world. Their beauty is ephemeral however the perfumes linger in my memory. In the cooler parts of Australia they grow spectacularly.
At Chez Idyll it's palms, gingers and most things tropical that you will see.
As we finally look toward unpacking our lives I hope to be back to say hello and enjoy your arty inspirations.
Such a tonic for my soul.

The interplay between the layers and textures in this tag is fascinating. I also love the way you cropped your focal point rose, because it reminds me of Georgia O'Keeffe. Blessings!
