This week has been given over to decorating. Our hall has been painted and new floor tiles laid. Just the kitchen to do now. I've managed to escape to my desk and lap top when I'm not needed ;) I finished painting some little hedgesparrows and planned ideas in my sketchbook.
One night I sat up late, alone and lost myself in this beautiful film. I just love this clip...
And the music, I can't seem to stop listening to. I love the explanation of understanding poetry. I feel it's the same with painting and pictures.
Whatever you are doing this Easter weekend, I hope you enjoy yourselves. x

Dear Karen! It's good to hear from you. Happy to hear that you are enjoying life and creating. The hedgesparrows are just beautiful. "Bright Star" has quickly become one of my favorite films of all time. Such wonderful acting and beautiful poetry. It truly makes my heart sing. :) I need to watch it again and fall in love all over again.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend! Theresa
Lovely to read your post.
ReplyDeleteBright Star is such a beautiful film, what's not to love?

The sparrows are very charming and have a friendly look. I have Bright Star on my list of movies to see.
ReplyDeleteI must see this movie!
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Easter to you Karen!
the hedge sparrows are so sweet x they are dear little birds.
ReplyDeletethanks to you i turned my lights off for an hour too (i read it on your blog just a couple of minutes before the start).
i like your prizes, where do you get the chocolate ladybirds from? they are cute and the seeds are such a good idea :o)

p.s. the beautiful hare i bought from your shop has pride of place here and is much admired.
You are so talented, you make true beauty and your blog and life are charming and so lovely! I wish for you a very nice Easter holiday ;)
ReplyDeleteOhh, I meant to see this when it was on at the cinema, and didn't get to. I love Jane Campion's films. Must get it out on DVD and have an evening of quiet indulgence all to myself! 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' is one of my favourite poems.
ReplyDeleteAhhh Bright Star - I watched it one rainy Sunday afternoon and completely fell in love with the film. Lovely to be reminded of it again in your blog. Kate :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you enjoyed your day in Marlborough, I use to live around that area, many years ago. I could be moving back there again, sometime soon.
I love the Indian shop. I wonder if it is still there?
Lovely videos. How wonderful it would be, to have a butterfly room and a fairy queen butterfly, living in the wall!;)
I must see this movie. Thank you for sharing a preview of the film.
Have a good Easter too!
xx
Theresa...Thanks :) Yes, I think I will be watching it again in the future too.

Sumea..I bought the little chocolate ladybirds in Lidl and the seeds too.Only 29p a packet! :) Happy Spring!
Valgalart..

Yes I agree about Jane Campion films. The cinematography is always wonderful.

It is the perfect film to see on a rainy afternoon.
Joanne..
I love Marlborough, we often go there and nearby Avebury. Yes! the indian shop is still there. Unfortunately the fairy shop isn't :( x
Hi Karen, a lovely Easter to you!! (I adore the sparrows!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteI must catch this film, thanks for telling me about it.
ReplyDeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteI particularly love all your wooden creations - the sparrows are lovely (as are your foxes and hares!)
I've quietly enjoyed your blog for some time but being a bit shy have not commented much!
But now I have finally decided to have a go at a blog of my own and would love it if you felt like having a quick glance...?

Hope you don't mind me mentioning it!
Best wishes and Happy Easter...
Carrie...
It's lovely when you find a film that touches you like that :) Makes you feel so inspired!
ReplyDeleteI feel change in the air this Easter...:)
I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend xxx
I came here via Amalia's blog. I love everything I see. You are a fabulous artist! Oh I need to bookmark you!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely to catch up on your posts, Karen. Oh, I must see Bright Star! I've had it on my list for ages. Sending you magical wishes. xx
ReplyDeleteDear Karen
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovey post. The church is just beautiful!!
Blessings,
Penny
Your hedgesparrows are so lovely! I was thinking about you today because we went for a short walk around Lacock. I feel energised after being there! xx
ReplyDeleteYour post was breathtaking - the photos, the sentiment, the music. It inspired me and set a magical mood for my whole day. I'm going to see if I can find a copy of the film. Have you ever read "The Girl of the Limberlost"? It's a very old book from the US about a girl who is enamored of butterflies and moths. A very good read. We did Earth Hour here in Oregon as well.
ReplyDeleteThank You for being so wonderful.
Cindee
Karen!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, chocolate ladybugs!
The hedgesparrow hangers look whimsical and fun too!

ReplyDeleteKaren, seems like you've been busy and enjoying yourself... Don't you just love a newly decorated room? There's a always a new vibe in the air! Well, I can't wait to see more of your art... I'm sure the new vibes will give you so much inspiration. (^_^) ox
ReplyDeleteHi your art is pretty cool, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteI love your art. It takes me to a wonderful place that is peaceful and dreamy--a much needed break from my hectic world.
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely adored Bright Star. I loved everything about it. The pace, the performances, the costumes, the setting, the music. I could go on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder!
