Hello dear friends! I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us! Totally gorgeous. As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission.... The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough! So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy... This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground! It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct photo credit and it just said Winter Palace . Does anyone know? Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps? These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold? Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench, a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect! Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well? Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday.... The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling. I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet! Enchanting... On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town!
