This is stunning Jess..I too love those Victorian homes. Here we have a place called the "Heritage Market" and all the buildings are Victorian style and I love going there!! Beautiful photo...
This layout is absolutely gorgeous, my friend! I love how you asked you mom to take a photo of you and the house that you loved!!!!! The colors, your details, everything here looks so pretty!
Such a lovely LO.....the way you framed the beautiful photo is perfect and those colors divine! I lived once in an old Victorian home.....they're very special. Glad you and your Mom captured this moment in time!!!
That's my place - I wish, LOL. Very pretty place; looks like Cape Cod, not Toronto. Blue & yellow papers look so nice together. I love the Whole Foods stores. (Sorry your summer was a bummer - mine was not too good in 2009 but 2010 was much better.)
your beautiful lo totally compliments the wonderful victorian home. I feel i just took a giant step back in time. and of course your description and details of how the photo came about was charming and soooo well written. TFS.
You are the tiniest adorable lady! What a wonderful page and from that vantage point, the whole world looks bright and cheery. Love how you captured the essence of that Victorian house into the feel of this LO.
What a GRAND home surrounded by such beauty!!! LOVE the photo, espeically because YOU are in it!!! YAY! So cool that you and your mom captured that special moment! Love the colors you used!
ohhhh....so pretty! I LOVE old houses so much!! Whenever we go to London to see my son, I drool over all the old homes and even the old businesses on the main roads...so gorgeous!It's nice to see a spring page in the midst of all this cold and snow!!
What a beautiful photo of you in front of that gorgeous house and yard!!!!!!! I love the story behind it. You had me seeing and feeling and the wonders of spring. You should be writing professionally, just wonderful!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous page. I love how you picked up the colors of the photo and especially like the way you used the blue ribbon (or printed tape or pp strip) throughout the page. I was absolutely intrigued by your description and want to know more of the story! It was like I had stepped into page 248 of a beautiful novel. It left me wondering what happened before and after. Great writing.
It had been a topsy-turvy spring that would ultimately lead into a rough summer, but on this day around the start of last June (after a somewhat unexpected stint in the hospital just a few days prior to when this photo was taken), all that ceased to matter for a little while. My wonderful mother was in town and the two of us had ventured into the heart of Toronto to find the city's one and only Whole Foods Market.
Having located it quite easily, we parked about a block away on one of those incredibly beautiful streets lined with Victorian homes in the heart of the city that seem to defy the concrete and glass jungle of towering buildings and sprawling shopping centers around it, and made our way up towards our destination. As we oohed and awed and over the lovely homes, I was particularly struck by how pretty this blue house was, and asked my mom to capture a quick snapshot of me in front of it. I have no idea whose home it was, but I do know that on that day, bathed in soft sunlight, it was the very picture of springtime elegance.
