When we go out to a restaurant, I often have a difficult time deciding what to order. I peruse the menu over and over, and ask everyone else what they're getting. (After all, if someone orders something that I really like, I will wish that I had gotten it myself.) I hem and haw until the waiter comes and asks if everyone is ready to order. I say, "I can be," so as not to frustrate my husband who has known what he wants long ago. At this point, my strategy for decision-making is to go last, and when it is my turn and I can't put it off any longer, I just pick something from my list of choices. Sometimes I surprise myself with what I order!
I have approached this Note Card Party in much the same way. I have thought about what pictures to choose since the day that Vee introduced the idea. And I have hemmed and hawed until tonight, when the moment of decision arrived and I couldn't put it off any longer. And I did surprise myself! In a last minute stroll through some old blog posts, I hit upon a theme...windows.
The idea was to select four favorite photographs that have appeared on your blog, ones that you think would work well for a set of note cards. So here goes...
A Winter Window
candlelight, winter berries, cozy quilt square, neutral colors
A Spring Window
forsythia, April showers, sage candle
A Summer Window
cheery geraniums peeking in, rosemary wreath, the kitchen sink
An Autumn Window
through the kitchen doorway, black bowback Windsor, pyracantha with berries
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22

The four seasons in a few seconds, you clever girl! Love them all but the summer window will be my note card, okay?

What a great set of note cards these would be! I'd DEFINITELY be attracted to them. Well-chosen, my friend.

What a great idea to feature seasonal windows on your note cards! They are all lovely and the first word that came to mind for me was "cozy".
ReplyDeleteSo far your choices are my favorite! Nicely done! I love the cozy feel to them!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I loved seeing the seasons through your window! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and creative idea. I really do love the whole theme. I can't even pick a favorite photo from this one because what I think I like best of all is that they are all windows.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the verse of scripture that you chose at the end. Just plum perfect.
Perfect! I would buy a set of cards with those photos on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do a theme of 'like' photos!
This is so fun isn't it?

I love these -- honestly, these are some of my favorites that I"ve seen. And I think you could add one -- the one of the little Christmas tree your husband can see when he drives home (you can tell that made an impression on me :).
ReplyDeleteI love your window views. I happen to love windows in general. They are double frames of what's inside or what's outside. You have chosen well. And it's nice to find a twin who orders like I do at a restaurant ... Decisions are not easy for me especially in restaurants !
ReplyDeleteA beautiful glimpse through your windows! Lovely note-cards indeed!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWe loved the 'surprise' you picked! What a beautiful theme..... I especially loved the rainy day Spring window, although I could easily abide by any one of them of an afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment.
Happy day............
I love your window theme. Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty window pictures. I love that you did each season. They would look great as note cards.
ReplyDeleteThese are all such sweet and tender scenes. Well done on your "surprise", LOL!
ReplyDeletePretty windows! The spring window looks almost the same as it does now with the rainy outside and the sage candle and the forsythia. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Yours definitely make a wonderful set...And the pictures are just gorgeous. !
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos and I am SO jealous. You have a skill of photographing those lovely low light scenes. They make me want to come over for tea. :)
ReplyDeleteI do like these photos for the seasons represented and the coziness of each photo. Lovely choices.
ReplyDeletewhat a unique concept!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful!!!
thanks for sharing!
hugs,,Loui
What a beautiful, beautiful selection. I am so enjoying your blog. It's good to meet you!
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
I came back to take a peek at your pics again and I'm still in love with *all* of them. But after looking even closer I actually have a favorite now....the summer one. I LOVE red geraniums and I love homey scenes like kitchen sinks. Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you *so much* for the sweet and encouraging comment you left on my blog today....You made me smile and you made my day!
Blessings!

Fun pics, love the pop of red from the geraniums:@)
ReplyDeleteDear Cheryl ~ Just hopping over from Vee's ~ Love them all, but my fave is the cozy winter scene...♥
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely blog ~ I'm a new follower!
Best,
Anne ♥
I'll take a set!... I think you nailed it. Cheryl's cozy corner cards...
ReplyDeleteNow I'm curious about Vee's creative challenge. I'm hoping to find the time to blog hop. Time? Ha! Right.
But I did have to find time to come say hi, and apparently let you know that I'm the joke at the table. Doesn't matter who I'm dining with, everyone knows... I won't order until everyone else has!
Blessings, Debbie
