Names ought to have a special meaning and for a reason.
But do most of us KNOW what its meaning is?
Pearl — bought in Oahu, Hawaii
A nice crystal conch with pearl and meaningful to me!
My name as written through 4th grade of elementary school: Marietje
Marietje is listed here as meaning: pearl; bitterness/sea; desired child
Mariet means: shapely clean
Mariette has the very same meaning as Marietje...
In Dutch Mariet, Marietje ←click on link
Hard to capture...
Also from Oahu, Hawaii came my Majorica black pearls in 15" length and earrings and ring, found at Neiman Marcus.
A 16" necklace would be too big for me.
Also from Oahu, Hawaii came home this little pineapple, the symbol of hospitality.
Having cooked numerous dinners for company, friends and family and several High Teas as a donation to the Rotary Club's fund raiser.
Did turn the velvet silk fabric around and used its backside...
Do you know your name's meaning?

Tiene un bonito significado, el mío me lo pusieron porque era el nombre de mi abuela paterna.
ReplyDelete¡Feliz año nuevo! Besos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteFeliz año nuevo e tu nombre también tiene un buen significado:
"Griego invaluable, floreciente, flor"
Así que muy bien elegido por tus padres para nombrarte después de la abuela paterna.
Abrazos,
Mariette
Those photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYes my name (Debrah) is Hebrew in origin for honey bee. Although my mom deviated from the original Deborah.
Dearest Debby,
DeleteThank you, precious little gifts from Hawaii.
But both Deborah and Debrah mean honey bee.
Hugs,
Mariette
Een waardevolle parel, jouw naam past bij je Mariette.
ReplyDeleteDe mijne betekend 'Strijd' of ik dat ben...
Een heel mooi 2023 gewenst samen!
Beste Hilly,
DeleteJa, inderdaad een waardevolle parel en dank je!
Het betekent mogelijk dat jij strijd voor je dierbaren...
Jullie ook een mooi 2023 met goede gezondheid!
Liefs,
Mariette
Your name has a special meaning, Mariette. I really like the pearl you brought back from Hawaii. Your Header is so pretty with the wine and chocolate and pink flowers. So lovely. I will have to look up the meaning of my name. I'm sure I have before, but forgot. ; )

Dearest Sheri,
DeleteThank you and yes that tiny shell with pearl was precious for its meaning related to my name.
Yes, the header is a festive one and those Mon Cheri chocolates were favorites for both of us!
The Camellia Japonica Debutante blooms for months on end during winter, it is a perfect blossom.
Hugs,
Mariette
My name is inspired by the French word, Cherie, meaning "darling."
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post, Mariette, so that I could look up the meaning of my name.
Interesting. : )

Dearest Sheri,
DeleteGlad your found the meaning of your name—our Parents gave it to us for a reason.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very interesting. I never knew what Mariette meant. I thought it was like Mary.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, it is exactly like Mary!
And Victor means victorious, conqueror...
Hugs,
Mariette
You have a lovely name, dearest Mariette.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful as always, dearest friend.

Happy 2023!
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteThank you and your name has a lovely meaning!
May 2023 bring you happiness and good health.

Hi Mariette. For the sesame cookies, I can't really give a time or temperature. We have a gas stove and I bake everything on 6 whatever that means. I put them on the bottom rack and let them get a little brown on the bottom and then move them to the top rack for a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI left a comment here yesterday but don't know if you got it. It seemed the internet was having problems and I had to copy and paste and publish several times.
Dearest Tammy,
DeleteThank you for this explanation!
Oh, Blogger is often so tricky... one never knows.
Hugs,
Mariette
Seems the original comment didn't go through -- but the gist of it was that I really love the pineapple and that my name means "perfection" :)
DeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteYes, Tammy means: perfect; palm tree, spices... A lovely meaning!
The pineapple is a beautiful symbol.
Hugs,
Mariette
I have always thought your name beautiful ... my name Helen Louise means 'light" / 'renowned warrior'
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Pieter an amazing 2023 full of happiness, peace and good health. My son and I leave Sunday morning for sunny Florida ... see you in February.
Dearest Helen Louise,
DeleteThank you and your names are very meaningful as well!
Wishing you all the very best for 2023 and we just got back from Sarasota on Monday...
Enjoy your sunny stay with your son!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful. I had no idea his name meant that. It suits you very well.
