Beauty in my week:

Speaking of instagram, do you have an recommendations about who to follow? I am really enjoying the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s instagram page.

Thanks for hosting another party 🙂
Dear Elizabeth,
I hope you are having a wonderful week!
It’s been awhile since we’ve caught up so I shared a few things with you this week.
I love your beautiful photos and quotes and appreciate visiting a blog that contributes such blessings to our lives! 🙂

I got to spend some time with my oldest son and his new wife this week! And you’re right, there’s nothing better than family time!
I don’t do Facebook, and I don’t have a Twitter or Instagram account. However, I am being *tempted* to join – at least to tweet and snap some photos! I checked out your Instagram account, and might I just say that Ollie is adorable – I grew up with a doxie! And, if you notice, I have featured a photo of my grandbeagle on the post I’m linking up this week. Dogs are great, aren’t they?!
GOD BLESS!
Hi Elizabeth, just followed you on Instagram. Followed the Met too. I love IG – I follow a very unselective group of people and shops! Thanks for the party!!! Patsy from HeARTworks
Always a treat to be here, Elizabeth. Thank you for hosting each week. I am glad our paths have crossed as I have been blessed often through your posts. Have a great weekend!
