A Passion for Life!

P a s s i o n
Audrey Hepburn was a delightful and passionate woman.
I enjoy so many of her movies. This image is from
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" ~ which is not my favorite movie
of hers, I prefer her others much more, (but oh those jewels!!!)
but she definately played a passionate woman in it.
I'm not refering to that word as in a 'romantic love'
type of emotion, but in terms of

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
for something

An excitement for life!

-
What causes great enthusiasm to burst forth from your heart?
And which is your favorite Audrey Hepburn movie?
(or movies)

-
I designed this piece on a 4" x 4" canvas board,
embellished with glitter,
jewels, jeweled black lace, silk ribbons,
and rubber stamped swirls, and sent to my blogging friend
Anita at Castles, Crowns and Cottages,
as a "thank you" for a kind gesture.
when you visit her you will find a woman of passion!

(An art piece similar to this ~ and others ~ will be available soon
in my new online boutique which is in the making)

VIOLET!!!! WOOWOWOWOWOW! Merci dix mille fois, you sweet, fabulous and talented woman, you. First of all, I am with you all the way regarding Audrey's movies. While Breakfast at Tiffany's is not my favorite, she is still adorable and a joy to WATCH. My favorite has to be Roman Holiday and all the others are my second favorites! Funny Face, Charade, Sabrina....THEN....to see this fabulous piece that I love so much on your blog really makes me feel so special. I just adore and cherish these lovely pieces you sent me. YOU SPOIL ME!

They are in my studio, hanging next to "A Penny a Bunch", the print that connected us earlier this year!

I wish you a fabulous weekend, and thank YOU for all your kindnesses!

Bisous, Anita

You are soooo kind to shower me with your words and sentiment of kindness. I so praise God for His gifts and the desires He gives us to practice, perfect and work on.

I happened on your daughter's blog and got here. My favorite Audrey Hepburn movie was not so glamourous, but it kept me on the edge of my seat: Wait Until Dark.
