In the Quiet


I've been in the quiet this evening
and I find His peace
and His joy
and His love here..
In His presence...
quietness,
gentleness,
pure love
joy
and
acceptance..
in the Beloved...

I am My beloveds and He is mine

In Elegance!

*
We arrived at our gorgeous bed & breakfast in Niagara on the lake
in the early evening on July 14th
and met our lovely hostess & host
Dana & Vito
who are charming..
We relaxed in the beautiful
Regal room with a king size bed (which we love because we have one too)  :)
Thats my pink bag and my hubbys black one
*
*
From the moment we arrived we felt so comfortable
and pampered
*
*
I loved the softness of this room..
soft in every way...the colour of the room made me think of the sea,
and the whites had such a calming, soothing effect..
just what you need when you're on a "time-away" together.
*
Soft, cozy, bed in which we had such a good nights sleep
and a couple of little needed "naps".
Holidaying can be tiring  :)
Or is it that you just get into such a relaxed mode,
that naps just come so naturally? 
*
*
Oh and I loved the colour of the room so much
that Im looking to have it for our living room
*
*
I loved the gentleness of the curtains and the pearl tie-backs..
*
*
Did I say that I loved Danas "decor"?!
Im more of a silver lover than a gold lover,
so this chandelier was right up my alley..
*
The bathroom was big and beautiful!!
*
*
The towels were the fluffiest and were also
fragrant!
I think we got a little spoiled..:)
I wish I had taken my camera down for breakfasts
because they were scrumptious!
Yogurt with fresh fruit and home-made granola,
quiche, juices, preserves with fresh scones, and on and on...
So yummy!  :)
Dana is a very creative and talented cook..
My hubby and Vito were chatting it up about northern winters and ice-fishing!
I love the seasons, but summer has a special place in my heart-of-hearts...
*
*
The name for this bed & breakfast says it all..
"In Elegance"
