While always remembering to keep one foot planted on the ground.
Because it IS a circus out there.
And she keeps in mind that the flight is always better with the help of others.
They can hold you down, when needed, and hold your hand.
Or... they can be your springboard.
A circus glass theater coming to a town near you. Or arriving inside my mannequin keepers, we'll see! Maybe pirates, next. Or fairy tales. I think the circus is an equal opportunity fantasy employer, right?
I love coming here! I think I'd like to be the fortune teller at the circus...can't tell fortunes though!
and with your little birdie leaving the nest, it's hard, but a whole new stage of life opens up!

Loving your latest posts so I'll scroll down here to leave my comment. Congrats to your daughter!! She's is STUNNING!! Just like her Mama!!! Empty Nester..yes my parents joined that club this Feb with my last brother to get married as he was living with them finishing up school. Bittersweet! However they travel more and have really found more time to do more and excuses to go elsewhere to see people and places. I hope you have the same fun experiences! Gosh where do I begin with all the Pomp and frills here? I am up to my neck in crepe paper, organza ribbon, fabric, dresdens and glitter....sounds like heaven I know haha But I can't wait to clean it all up and get the swaps all shipped off. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Big Hugs!!

What a beautiful family!
And what a bittersweet day.
I'm sure she'll be flying back to the MamaNest frequently. I'm a lurker, but you seem like you'd be the NICEST nest to come back to!!!

Hi Donna,
I looked at your newest post. I'm assuming that's you with your daughter? You are both absolute beauties. ♥
I always leave this universe while viewing your magical posts...your newest is just lovely.
I know you aren't on the computer much but I'd love for you to visit me to see how I've finally pulled together my studio after almost a year of being in our new home...these things take time when you have bad feet and two staircases! But it's done at last...
Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you,
Stephanie ♥

Besides being exciting, the carnival and/or circus has the best food around! Elephant ears, caramel corn, Italian sausages and onions, frozen goodies.....and on and on.
