HAND PAINTED WOODEN BOWL - Spring Time Cherry Blossoms
Cherry Blossoms Adrift
Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky
Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh
Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace
Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby
Inducing springtime slumber
Upon a satin shore
Sailing with the current
Pink petals pass before
-Mary Fumento
Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!

Very nice blog post, Niki. I really like Craft Pantry's cards - so pretty!
what a gorgeous collection of cherry blossoms! i think we should buy one for our new yard - we're going to plant our family tree this spring - maybe a pink dogwood or a wheeping cherry willow - we have a gorgeous green japanese maple that turns deep red in the fall and a gazillion foot american maple over the house right now, some blooming trees would be AWESOME! siempre - dorana

reminds me of last spring when we went to the cherry blossom festival in Washington DC, I loved it and still enjoy the pictures I took.
Very pretty post!
Wow! A beautiful selection! Cherry blossoms are beautiful!
Beautiful! I love that poem by Housman... it continues, and talks of how, with only 50 more springs (roughly) in his life to look at things in bloom, he's gotta go out and look at the cherry blossoms! :)
Love that bowl by BellaCosaArt, and the beautiful cards, too. Thanks for a beautiful Sunday posting!
I wish I was in DC again this year to go to the festival. It was beautiful last year. Beautiful finds!
These are so gorgeous! There really is no place like DC when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
This is beautiful pictorial to what spring will bring.
