And why not?<br /><br />White lilies are amongst our all time favourite flower not least for their 'divine', as you say, scent. We treat ourselves whenever we can - sadly they are not always readily available here. Your book marker is excellent - we have not come across anything similar ourselves - and so thoroughly practical.<br /><br />We have come across your most intriguing blog through our friend, Helen Tilston, and have signed as Followers. If you need to know more about us, then we are only a click away.

I'm glad to know what it means but can't see myself ever using it in real life! I indulge myself regularly: hot bath, wine and/or candles with dinner, attending craft groups I love, spending hours reading books (and blogs), the occasional spending splurge. I try to mostly reward myself with things not bought or consumed, but you are right - life is short and we need to enjoy it.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-72068995270851678632014-02-21T14:43:09.864-06:002014-02-21T14:43:09.864-06:00Never heard that word before,love unusual words.I ...Never heard that word before,love unusual words.I do enjoy seeing photos<br />of your Katie so cute....I have collages of my daughter throw all stages of her<br />early years,also with the g/children....you will have many frames to keep up<br />with Katie's,such fun making happy memories.Judith https://www.blogger.com/profile/03634258386057489997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-26378857315930161432014-02-21T11:37:09.611-06:002014-02-21T11:37:09.611-06:00To those of us raised as drinking our tea only ice...To those of us raised as drinking our tea only iced and sweetened it can be a difficult change.

A treat is usually an "upgrade" of something I need already, a better version of the practical, a fancier cheese, nicer eye pencil, etc. This balances my desire to get something fresh, but for ahem, "practical" reasons. Clever bookmark, mine are always sliding out.Patricia Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446350271516708884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-35328102983536148892014-02-20T08:57:16.070-06:002014-02-20T08:57:16.070-06:00What a lovely picture of small Katie!

My favorite is Cinnamon Spice.<br />The way it goes with me is, that 1. I buy something 2. Feel guilty about it 3. Try to find an excuse for the buying 4. Justify the purchase = treat.<br />What I might buy costs usually too much, so I limit my tours in stores / online.<br />I skip buying many " essentials ", as their sum adds up to quite a sum in the end, and are the essentials essential after all, as I manage to skip buying them?mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-49035060734887704362014-02-20T08:24:55.636-06:002014-02-20T08:24:55.636-06:00Dearest Sanda,
