My dear friend Angela has just graced me with a beautiful Maine cottage complete with a pond and the animals of the forest. We have enjoyed her one-of-a-kind Victorian cottages, Victorian Christmas trees (my personal favorite sprinkled with confection sugar that resembles snow) and every holiday treat that will make yours and your loved ones holiday! Please visit her website and enjoy!
Thank you so much for your love, friendship and wonderful creations Angela! xo

I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn’t matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could share the magic
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can’t erase
Your beautiful face before me.
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can’t erase
Your beautiful face before me.
~ Written by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz
Heaven sends a song through its doors
Just as if it seems to know, I’m exclusively yours
Knowing this, I feel but one way
You will understand too, in these words that I say
I’ll close my eyes to everyone but you
And when I do, I’ll see you standing there
I’ll lock my heart to any other caress
I’ll never say yes to a new love affair
I’ll close my eyes to everything that’s gay
If you’re not there, to share each lovely day
And through the years, those moments
When we’re far apart
I’ll close my eyes and see you with my heart
I’ll close my eyes to everything that’s gay
Lord, if you are not there, to share each lovely day
And through the years those moments
When we’re far apart
I’ll close my eyes oh and see you with my heart
~ Written by Buddy Kaye and William Gordon Billy Reid
