Hi Corinne! Thanks for the kind visit and comment on my card! It was a nice way to start the day! I love how you came up with your blog name, it is so fun and creative! Sounds like you and your husband have a great life in Mumbai, and it sounds so exciting to me. Love the terra cotta angels you featured today! So unique and expressive! Enjoy the day!
Thanks for the visit back, Winnie. Your comment here just reinforced what I thought about you – you’re ever so thoughtful and kind. Looking forward to reading more of your posts. Have a great week ahead.
Very cute – I love angels.
Have you ever been to the Kala Ghoda festival, Suzy? So much variety and colour.
No haven’t been to one. this must’ve started after I left for NZ – perhaps next visit I’ll try and get there.
I do think it’s some relatively new, Suzy. It’s held in February.
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free;
Michelangelo (or in a handful of clay) lovely image !
Oh! I do love that quote, Jana. Thank you.
