What a wonderful surprise! I have been watering this little plant in my kitchen for months and just as I returned from Los Angeles, a few shy flowers bloomed! They're graceful and fragile as butterflies, poised against thick, velvet green leaves. It's bliss.And they make me hum, as violets were the favorite flowers of a composer I have been worshiping for ever, Claude Debussy...
Other lovely surprises: receiving awards from Argentina's Karina (El Beso) and also Australia's Hila (Your Cover's Blown). I am a fan of both these ladies, who love books and style as much as I do... Thank you so much, girls! I wonder how I could pass these on to only a few blogs; hmmmm, I'll have to think...

shy flowers. I love this pair of words.
such a joy when flowers bloom,
I have spent the week stealing lilacs from overgrown bushes around the village and now the whole cottage smells beautiful ; )
such a lovely dose of purple to come home to...congratulations on the awards!
violets!! i have a special place in my heart for them as my mother and grandmother have always been so fond of them!
I love violets, there are a kind that I love and once I sow a vendor street selling them rush up to him and then something came between my legs, so I tripped, Fell and when I recovered I realize that it was a blind man "baston" what made me trip, who did not understand anything and was upset so I was talking to him but he did not talked back to me,till I begged him to put himself in my place so he laughed and I let him alone.
So I am not the cool girl I am the girl who sometimes seems to be cool but is just a clownish girl.
Why I am writing so much?
Lucky you, my violettes have no flowers - yet?
Something sweet to welcome you home.
lovely :) a nice surprise!
I had some herbs planted in my balcony as well, but they all died from too much sun and heat :(
What a lovely surprise and congrats on the award!
I love violets, too, especially in little surprising places, like under trees or in the cracks in cement.

LITTLE BIRD - lilacs! I love it when the house smells of flowers...
KARINA - your story really made me laugh, I can totally picture it. It's straight out of a movie. It's great when a beautiful girl like you plays the clown, too.
ALYA - actually the primroses on my window sill also died from the heat and the dry weather here. It's so sad.
TANGO BABY - yes, they are thoughtful! And I was grateful to them.
I'm not surprised you receive so many awards, your blog is so great!
Beautiful I love the first blooms!!
