Fawns and Bluebirds
When Clytie and I were walking in forests surrounding The Abandoned last time around--Sissy actually saw one of these delicate little creatures. Today's card is in honor of that magical moment.
This is adorable, and it's so nice that you can attach it to a great time as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a charming card...what a sweet keepsake.
ReplyDeleteI like the little card. Glad you had a safe trip this last time. Also glad you and your sister were able to spend some time together before you went on this last trip. I plan on going to my Mother's tomorrow to spend the day. Granddaughter will be going along and also our one daughter that just recently retired. So I'm hoping we have a nice time.
ReplyDeleteAh sissie, those little fawns look so much like the one that bounded away from me - I've never seen a deer so tiny ... and quick!
ReplyDeleteFawns are so magical looking - tender and fragile.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite sets of pictures were those I took one day at a nearby Nature Reserve when I cam across a doe and her fawns. I was able to observe them for over an hour.
Really magical!

YOUR Grammie must have been a true gift from God. Always such sweet and dear cards of hers. So glad you made it back from your trip safely. Hey I have been meaning to tell you that you named your sweet kitty the same as my poodle, Bootz ! that must be a popular name for beloved pets. Hope she is bringing much happiness to you and hubby , isn't love wonderful.

You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats. ~Proverb
There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats. ~Albert Schweitzer
If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much. ~Mark Twain
The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it. ~Doug Larson
There is something about the presence of a cat... that seems to take the bite out of being alone. ~Louis J. Camuti
After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference. ~Charlotte Gray
A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings. ~William Ralph Inge
There has never been a cat
Who couldn't calm me down
By walking slowly
Past my chair.
~Rod McKuen
Your cat will never threaten your popularity by barking at three in the morning. He won't attack the mailman or eat the drapes, although he may climb the drapes to see how the room looks from the ceiling. ~Helen Powers
I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It's not. Mine had me trained in two days. ~Bill Dana
If there is one spot of sun spilling onto the floor, a cat will find it and soak it up. ~J.A. McIntosh
A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. ~Jean Burden

Before a cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend,
Some little token of esteem
Is needed, like a dish of cream.

( my favorite )
People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life. ~Faith Resnick
Kittens are angels with whiskers. ~Author Unknown
When your kitty purrs to you, doesn't it break your heart that you can't purr back? ~Terri Guillemets
A cat isn't fussy - just so long as you remember he likes his milk in the shallow, rose-patterned saucer and his fish on the blue plate. From which he will take it, and eat it off the floor. ~Arthur Bridges
No heaven will not ever Heaven be
Unless my cats are there to welcome me.
~Author Unknown
Cats speak a subtle language in which few sounds carry many meanings, depending on how they are sung or purred. "Mnrhnh" means comfortable soft chairs. It also means fish. It means genial companionship... and the absence of dogs. ~Val Schaffner
People who love cats have some of the biggest hearts around. ~Susan Easterly
I will close with this last quote, it makes me think so much of YOU & CLYTIE. LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH !!

ReplyDeleteBETH , I HAD TO DELETE THE SECOND COMMENT AS IT SOMEHOW REPEATED THE FIRST ONE - LOL. DIDN'T THINK YOU NEEDED TWO COMMENTS SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING. HAVE A GREAT DAY MY FRIEND!
ReplyDeleteGosh your cards are just darling. I especially love when they were yours or sent by family. My friend, Rena and I adore snail mail and sending through the post. I appreciate your wonderful blog world you have! Blessings.

ReplyDeleteHow very sweet, Beth! I love the water marks ... they lend to it much character ... and show that it was much treasured, even though it still is!! :))
ReplyDeleteI love this little card. Deers have always had a special meaning for me. Over the years I collected ceramic figurines of Deers. Thank you for sharing your Grammie's wonderful cards with us. I love looking at your blog.
