The ” MAGIC” of Fabric… a God Wink!

Dear Reader:

While I was on my cooking spaghetti binge during the tropical storm type weather that prevailed throughout the Lowcountry over Memorial Day Weekend … dropping off plates… like Hansel and Gretel’s bread crumbs… to neighbors and friends…I called Mary Lee… a fellow CSU teaching cohort and church member whose husband John is a fellow cancer crusader!!! Two of the nicest people I know!

Like me… Mary had made spaghetti too during the cool rainy holidays but said if I had a sauce that could be frozen for another rainy …come on over and let’s catch up…John was having a good day!

I have been in the Lees’ home before but it had been a long time and I had forgotten that they had a large glassed-in living room/ den that just transported me to the outside beauty of their peaceful domain!

I could feel the stress of some earlier crazy days melting away… BUT…then my eye caught a large framed wall hanging that the very talented seamstress, quilter ( anything to do with material ) maker Mary had made!

A God Wink! This was the type of scene I was looking for… in my mind for Wednesday’s ” Wanderlust” post! I was in love… I wanted to be in that scene so I begged Mary to email me a photo of it to share!

Can you believe Mary made this? Instead of row by row watch my garden grow… Mary went the path of stitch by stitch … a talent beyond amazingly rich! Intricate details and design!

Isn’t it mind-boggling that we can find individual beauty in our everyday lives… and then discover that if we put each object together in a mural effect… we have created a new secret paradise for our inner spirit to seek and dwell within?

So until tomorrow…

Exactly the words to explain the powerful beauty in the hidden simplicity of God’s Handiworks!

Today is my favorite day… Winnie the Pooh

John was the architect behind the famous moon garden entrance gate… like all of us it has aged in the last decade … but to me… just grown richer with time.

*** When the grandchildren were all little…they crawled through the cut-out circle moon to go in the ” magic” garden where fairies and surcies lay hidden! Such sweet memories! Many special God Wink moments!

In 2014… I even got my moonflowers growing and blooming around the cut-out moon circle in the gate… never successful again but it was beautiful that one magical season!

Moonflowers on the Moon-gate!
The lantana loved all the recent rains!
A mixture of natural beauty

*** Hope everyone got off to a ” rabbit hopping” great first June Day!

Can’t blame any rabbits for my hostas take over on the first day of June but Bambi must have returned!
