  3. It was a long time i wanted to have a tour in your blog. I read your comments on mine and was very curious about it. And i'm so happy to have found it!! now I'm a follower...I saw your mother in the photo in Italy. Was she italian?...I live in a small city south Milan, but there are many other better places in Italy to live in ;)

  8. I think you are so correct about the friendships and connections people make throuh blogging. There are so many interesting and talented people out there. I love "getting to know" the various bloggers and their styles. I think blogging encourages one to be creative and inspires new projects, interestes etc.

    I work primarily from my home, so many days I share my coffee break with my blogging pals reading my favourites. Of course.

    The cherry blossoms in that vase are gorgeous!.

  12. Dear Lulu,
    You are the sweetest friend. I think we both feel the same way about blogging. We are both new to this, and can you remember life before blogging? I have met so many amazing women, You being one of them. My life has been so enriched because of all of you. Thank you for everything you just said about me. You are so kind Lulu. LOVE LOVE all these pictures. I basically saved all of your photos to my computer as I was uploading them, I realized I better save some for them to see on your blog. You are the best!!!
    Take Care,
    Maria
    p.s. I took a bunch of pictures last week of branches with pink blossoms on them. They were for my guest post this week.

  13. Aren't cherry blossoms wonderful? I always loved to travel to D.C. just to see all the wonderful blossoms in bloom during the festival. :-)

    And you are so right about Maria, she is the real deal, such a sweet and generous spirit.
    Just like you!

    Have a wonderful week,
    Anne

  17. Gorgeous pics as always Lulu!! I love cherry blossoms and our street here at home is lined on both sides with flowering plum trees and looks so pretty in Spring - unfortunately Autumn has arrived with force and the trees are now bare. So I can enjoy a little of your spring via your gorgeous pics:) Lovely words about Maria and oh so true! She is such a kind and generous lady, just like yourself dear Lulu. Congrats on having your home featured on Dreamy Whites my dear. I think we may be seeing your home in Country Living too:) Enjoy your day my friend ~ Tina xx

  18. I can't help it. Every time I see a cherry blossom now I think of the movie, The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. " A man could look a lifetime for the perfect cherry blossom and not have wasted it." ...or something like that. Beautiful pics Lulu. Enjoyed them.

    Cherry blossoms are the best welcome for spring and your photos are wonderful. It is getting very cool here in Australia, so it is nice to see the blossoms in your part of the world.

  42. Oh how I love cherry blossoms, they have a little piece of my heart, because after my son was born, the husband is suppose to give a gift to the woman after she bears a child, well my hubby bought me a cherry tree!! I fell in love with them then and there along with my little bundle of joy! gorgeous photos!
