Tina Schell challenges us to lighten up and introduce some fun and frivolity to our posts this week. Levity – lightheartedness is often elusive – but always welcome!
The Lavender Lady – a coastal eccentric with vivid, wonderfully fun taste!

This stained-glass window was a gift from my mother-in-law. What I know of its history is limited; an old-country artisan living in our region created it using old-world glass.
To look up at nature’s beautiful offering of plum blossoms set against a bright blue spring sky brings me a sense of peace and hope.
“…it is important to find moments of joy. We are surrounded by all of the colors of the rainbow, but it’s up to us to recognize and appreciate them.” Tina Schell

What a special gift, you are one fortunate D-I-L! Loved your choices this week Lindy, and special thanks for including my quote. Consider me honored!
It is a lovely work of art and a generous gift. Your words resonate with me in a time when it is easy to get bogged-down in negativity!
What a wonderful set of colourful images Lindy but I love the stained-glass window.
Thank you, Rupali! It is a lovely work of art.
The eccentricity of the Lavender Lady is a joy to behold. To decorate one’s home without a care for the neighbor’s is a wonderful sense of freedom. Loved the stained glass gift also. Loved your post, Lindy. ❤
When I visited her sales area, she was dressed in a full-length, silk, victorian style dress in deep purple! Thanks, Olga. You continue to inspire me to write more!
Wow! What a unique character. Inspiration is a wonderful thing. ❤
