My nose and I thank you all for your sweet concern and we are both doing just rosy. It is not serious and I will heal in a few weeks time. The bruising is much more faint than I anticipated and some concealer does the trick quiet well for a trek out in public.I have been sowing a few roses around the studio. The globes I ordered on Ebay for the new light fixture finally came in and I love them. To me they look like creamy roses blooming out of cut glass bowls...
They finish off the fixture nicely. I wish they stood up a little higher out of the bowl but this is the best it gets as far as fit goes. I love their soft creamy glow. When I am working and need more light I can just pop them off so I get pretty and practical all in one, a very rosy solution.
I have still been fusing with my window treatments too and decided to add a few vintage millinery roses plucked from an old tattered hat...
The rest of the plucked blooms fill a decorative jar...
Vintage mink roses drape gracefully from a shelf...
I picked up these great rose covered vintage hat boxes not too long ago and I am using them to hold collage papers, small left over bits in the small one and larger pieces in the other...
I have begun working on decor for the sewing wall and added this old iron hat rack with a yellow rose motif just above my sewing area...
I love saving flowers I have been given and drying them. I bundled a few roses my husband gave me with some cockscomb my daughter gave me and let them dry, tucking them into a little vintage silk handbag with a dainty hanky, vintage postcard, and a found birds nest nestling a pale blue speckled faux egg...
As you can see, I am making very small strides of progress to get the pretty part done in the studio. I so wish I had more time to share and visit with you all here today but duty calls and I must answer. How about I leave you with a pretty thought on friendship and how beautiful I find yours to be...But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Love that chandelier! A definite feel good piece!
Your chandy is magnificent with those globes! What inspiration you must get from them. Your studio is looking quite fab too, but I knew it would. Love the purse you have hanging stuffed with odds & ends... you make it look so easy. Thanks for the background image, love the look, I'm always attracted to things with old dress patterns involved.
Loved my visit here today... well I do everytime I'm here!!
