Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy! I think many of us will be watching the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday, it will be a turbulent and exciting day.

For Aimeslee's 'flowers'challenge at AJJ I have another journal page made with a freebie from the Graphics Fairy. I placed the image on a hand painted background, and added the flowers, which were all hand painted. Then I added a sentiment, which is very fitting fot the world just now:
And some photos from my walk today:
The blue fish reminded of the fish Erika showed this week:
Have a fun weekend, whatever you do!
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Your artistry and photos are always a joy to come see!. Those purple flowers are just beautiful! Wishing you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carol, enjoy your weekend!
DeleteLovely art and photos, enjoy the coronation!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I enjoyed it! Hugs!
DeleteThat's a very sweet page for Aimeslee challenge. And perfect for it too. And yes, that blue fish does remind me of the one I showed. There are lots of fun fish in that photo. It's a good thing I'm not there since the blue fish mugs are adorable and I'd be very tempted to buy one-smile. I'm planning on getting up early to watch the coronation too. It's exciting, isn't it? Have a great weekend Valerie. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! Confession time - I bought one of those mugs, and got it for 3€ less than they were asking! The coronation was fun to watch! I went to Heike, we watched TV and had fun commenting! Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteBeautiful journal page. Pretty little flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, sending hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning đ . It's the big day today, I think we will all be watching the coronation! God save the King!! Have fun, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, hope you enjoyed it, we did!
DeleteSince I have nothing good to say about the monarchy and its legion of royal leeches let me simply wish you a great weekend, Valerie. We will agree to disagree on this one! Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have expected anything else from you! Hugsxxxxxxx
DeleteBeautiful artwork and a lovely walk. Have a great weekend - CJ
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, have fun at the camp! Hugs!
DeleteYes, I'll be watching the Coronation, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is gigi hawaii.
DeleteEnjoy watching, have a great weekend!
DeleteWunderschĂśn und so goldig dein Journalseite mit dem Spruch und all die Fotos!
ReplyDeleteEin aufregender Tag fĂźr England.
Hab ein schĂśnes Wochenende!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Danke, liebe Elke. Ich hab zusammen mit einer Freundin geschaut, and dabei haben wir gequatscht, gegessen und Kaffee getrunken. Dir ein schĂśnes Wochenende!
DeleteLovely vintage creation. Thank goodness for Graphics Fairy Karen, I think we all have a huge computer file of beautiful images. You make me want to do some vintage but I have to finish some design team work instead, boo. Hoping you are continuing to feel no tooth pains and you are resting. That first photo with the horses looks just like the pasture behind our house! Such pretty flower photos. XOX
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee, I do indeed have quite a collection of Karen's lovely images, and the one I used this time was just right for your challenge. Sometimes I like vintage, too, but I like painting faces even more! Have a great weekend, hugs!
DeleteHi Val, fabulous art, as always! Enjoy your weekend, get some rest! , Hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, have a great weekend! Hugs!
DeleteIt hasn't stopped raining all day! Good job Charles and Camilla had their golden coach.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful journal page and great photos Valerie.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Alison
And good job that the tourists were all well equipped for rain. It rained a lot here, too. Enjoy your weekend, hugs.
DeleteShe is beautiful nestled amongst the flowers and love your colouful background..have a lovely and happy weekend Valerie..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, happy weekend!
DeleteI watched the coronation coverage, but I have to admit "Queen Camilla" sticks in my throat... Your nature photos are always a welcome sight.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen for me is always Elizabeth II.
DeleteWhat a great day for the coronation in England. I´m very happy you are feeling well after the surgery. Now try to rest and take care dear.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Art journal page, full of tenderness. It is magnificent ! The quote is really beautiful.
The photographs are beautiful too, especially the one of the horses. The fish cups are spectacular. I wonder if the guard can see clearly... I don't know.
I hope you have a good Sunday, I send you big hugs
Caty
Thanks Caty! I was talking to my friend today and we were also wondering if the guards can see! I bought myself a fish cup! Big hugs to you Caty!
DeleteFabulous photographs.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the Coronation amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the best Jan
It was indeed! We loved it, too!
DeleteFabulous photos and journal page Valerie. Shame about weather yesterday in London for Coronation but still amazing day with celebrations continuing today with the big concert. Have a lovely Sunday... Gill x
ReplyDeleteThanks Gill, have a great day, hugs!
DeleteVery interesting post đ Have a nice day đ
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna!
DeleteCaĹy Ĺwiat podziwiam sobotniÄ uroczystoĹÄ koronacji Karola III. PiÄkne fotografie ze spaceru.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lucyna! Hugs!
DeleteLovely art and I do like the saying too. The photos are so pretty. However, I love seeing the items in the shop windows. Have a very nice Sunday.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, shop windows are always magical, I look at them every time I go past!
DeleteGreat collection of photographs. We watched everything onTV and today went to a BBQ at a friend's house. Saturday was sunny here where we are until late afternoon while it rained in London. Now that the Red Arrows have done their bit they are having a break so it should be quiet here for a while. It seemed funny really that they have been flying around here for weeks off and on and their flight on Saturday was over so quickly. Guess there are those who would say we're lucky to see them so often but it's a bit distracting as you drive around the bypass with the Reds practicing their maneuvers above you. There are very few people we know here who have not got some conection with the Airforce. Whatever people feel or think they know about the Monarchy they are part of what makes us British. Wishing you a great week ahead. Hugs, angela xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun weekend watching the Coronation with a friend. We chatted, smacked and did a lot of commenting, too. I miss living in England, and all the celebrations. In England people know how to party. I remember the excitement of school and street parties at the Coronation of Elizabeth, it was so magical. I still have the books we got as presents back then! Hugs!
DeleteSnacked not smacked! My spellchecker is awful!
DeleteI absolutely adore the seed packet Graphics Fairy image you used. Perfect for Aimeslee's lovely theme, too. Thanks for this great entry at AJJ and thanks for the lovely photos from your walk around town and window shopping.
ReplyDeleteThanks E, hope your arm is getting better. Take care, hugs!
DeleteGorgeous photos. The quiche made me want to be in London again!
ReplyDeleteI was a bit sad that I wasn't in London!

ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed everything about the Coronation - Prince Louis, Penny Mordant and that sword
ReplyDeleteWe did, too, it was just a lovely day, even if I was a bit sad that I wasn't in London!
Delete.......the King saying 'love you' to William, the crowds, the looks exchanged between The King and Queen - a truly, wonderful event! I love your journal page , lovely colours. Of course you know I love a good look around your area! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it was LOVEly indeed. Love is all you need! Hugs!
DeleteOh how I wish i could send your link to this page to some of the world leaders. They need to learn to plant something other than greed.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely page - a pretty girl, reminds me of the Miss Pears we used to see each year, and the beautiful flowers just work and fall in so prettily to give the whole page a much conducive air
Hugs, Neet xx
My first thought was that she looks like a Pear's girl! Great mond and all that! Hugs!
DeleteGreat minds NOT great mond!
DeleteEine sehr schĂśne Seite und tolle Bilder.
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank, liebe Rika, dir noch eine schĂśne Woche!
DeleteGreat pictures! I love them! Super pretty journal page too. Hugz
