quote of the day ::

"Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then
subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have
to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is
inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the
promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any
fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has
burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those
that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they
find that they are one tree and not two."

Dream Kitchen ::

I'm drooling over this kitchen! Every little (and big) thing about it, I love. High ceilings, lots and lots of windows, a rustic feel, long pine table as an island/bartop.... what a great kitchen for entertaining!

Pretty things for a pretty Saturday ::
