Loving Places

                             Loving places.  

Those simple, ordinary spots in a day that leave a
deposit of love in your heart and a memory to nourish your soul.  

They're moments framed in time by the season's beauty
                    

    softening the walkways of life ...   






settling gently on the windowsills of the soul









Cup your hands and receive the loving moments that surround you every day.

 
Look and see all the ways you are surrounded by love ... and let your heart dance today!

God's put on a show out there 

     
                                                     



                                        and invited you to play!                                

                                          



Living in loving moments,

Spring in the Studio

Springtime sightings in our studio garden...

pansies unfurling their petals 

 eyes blinking open with wide-eyed wonder

 silent games of peek-a-boo 

freesia fragrance

                  aroma from heaven

soft petals landing on hard places

filling the world with grace

" all earth brims with His glory" 
Psalm 72:19


Inhaling all the joys of Spring,
The Velvet Lime Girls

Blossom Inspiration

This is the view outside of the Velvet Lime Girls studio. Today is Tuesday and we're in the midst of our weekly design, create, dream session and we just couldn't resist sharing a little piece of our world. We always say that "inspiration is everywhere" and these cherry blossoms sashaying in the breeze are fanning that thought over and over. Oh, we wish you could be here.
Standing underneath a cherry tree in full bloom and looking up into it's snowy canopy, laden with white petals that turn a slightly softer shade of pink with each passing second, is pure springtime bliss. Humming from the heart just spontaneously happens here.
So "stand" under the canopy with us today through our photos and let your creative side breathe in some inspiration. If a slight urge to hum overtakes you ... just go with it.

Humming in our hearts,
The Velvet Lime Girls

How to Enjoy Life

How to enjoy life:

Slip into a sparkly new pair of sandals. It doesn’t matter if your polish matches.

Or, if it's even still there.

Walk on freshly fallen cherry blossoms.

Dance under cherry trees.

Let "snow-petals" fall on your face in spring.

Find someone to hug.

Be Still

Pause.

"Be still and know that I am God "

Psalms 46:10

Enjoying life with our new sandals, blue polish and moments of stillness,

The Velvet Lime Girls
