When our journey brings us home to the comfort and peace in a cottage garden, we are fortunate indeed!
The drone of bees in the spring calls our attention to the pale colors of newly sprouted flora. The pale pink buds and new green leaves are a welcome sight.
The warmth of summer brings the bright blue sky above the roses climbing the cottage. They waft their sweet perfume in the breeze which lulls us to nap like a cat in the sun.
As the days shorten into autumn, the colors of summer fade like antique photos, leaving bits of brightness among the drying leaves.
A journey home can lead to the familiarity of traditional patterns that have their roots in centuries old design. The damask pattern ordinated in China and made its way via the silk road to Damascus where artisans interpreted the motifs into fine woven fabrics.
