{Introducing YOU to Romantic Rose handbags from RosenRomanze Germany}

On August 13, I did read Elvira Hallmann's blog ROSENGÄRTCHEN and fell in LOVE with this extraordinary handbag, called: ROMANTIC ROSE.

The fact that Elvira lives in Hamburg, Germany did not stop me from asking her to sell it to me.

My plan for having it send to my friend Ellie, who could carry it over to the USA on her flight, September 2nd was just perfect! And Elvira was gracious enough to sell it to me. She also told me she would sell more on request!

I was in heaven...

Look at all the details... Beautiful embroidery and matching lace. 

Her RosenRomanze initials, very elegantly embroidered backwards.

Adorned with a rose button, this linen inside-pocket can be closed.

The handbag is even reversible! How clever. See more in her RosenRomanze shop. If ladies from the US or Canada are interested in any of her bags, or like the above, please let me know as I can assist you.

This multi-talented lady also makes the prettiest Baptismal gowns I've ever seen!
They will make great Heirloom pieces.
Just have a peak at one of those Heirloom pieces here at Rosengärtchen .

Even for those that want to tie the knot she can create the most romantic Ring Pillow...
All her blogs do have Google Translater installed so language is not supposed to be a barrier.
I am so excited about sharing this with you, as such talent is so rare to come by, at this time and age!
  Elvira, is even creating her own wardrobe and soon also for her teenage daughter Madeleine. Her name is as pretty as the heirlooms and special evening bags her Mom makes. Follow her blog; Rosengärtchen to see more coming soon!

On Sunday, September 5th I did use this lovely Romantic Rose handbag when I took friend Ellie (who carried it to the US for me) and husband Mathieu to the Page House Bed & Breakfast for brunch. 

That was two days after Pieter's quadruple bypass and stent in his neck...

Here I make the photo of the {Fleur de Lys Filet Crochet Designed by Mariette's Back to Basics} and made for the side entrance.

This is today... Pieter LOVES it as much as I do.

Just pondering about the many things that happened this month...
Romantic Rose being one of the highlights!

{For YOU the Heart with SnapIt Screen Capture}

Of course, for me THE HEART has been quite an issue for the past weeks...

The good news is, that my dear husband Pieter is having a remarkable recovery after his quadruple bypass surgery, on September 3rd.
Must be due to his excellent condition before he went into surgery + he is a fighter.

For quite a while I had been looking for something to capture anything on my PC screen, for doing a blog about my different items.
Doing research on some vintage pieces, I do come across valuable info that just needs to be shared with my audience.

Well, I am so excited to share with you today my find of just that tool: 

SnapIt Screen Capture 3.7

Below, I like to show you some of the results of this remarkable tool. Also for a personal reason; to inform others about this important HEART issue. Just read an informative article today in my favorite French: Le Journal des FEMMES
Did translate it for you in English, via Google, but you can go back to the original French version: Un cœur musclé ! (A srong heart !) if you like to.

 You know how to click on the image for enlarging it...

♥ Hope you learned from this and I like to wish you good health and don't forget to try this SnapIt tool!

{Fleur de Lys in our Veranda}

Today I just want to show you a small corner in our veranda.

Fleur de Lys and Angels:

A vintage Lampe Berger with Fleur de Lys | more found at: Spectrenoir; votive candle holder in brass with Fleur de Lys; wall hanging with Fleur de Lys and Angels. 

Also our solid French oak furniture in the veranda has Fleur de Lys woven into its viscose fabric. Our interior is in the French Country Style.

Sounds rather French all together...
But there actually is a French Connection!
