I have a candle and some bookmarks which have a little story behind them, as it's so dark these days I usually take my work into the conservatory to photograph. Having laid them on a sofa to take the photos I left them whilst I went to my office to download and make sure they were OK. Returned to collect them only to find two ripped to shreds and one very guilty looking eight month Lab old puppy named Rosa. We had a chat and I think she got the message 🦮 !!

Oh Rosa how could you that was very harsh criticism! But then if it is left unattended it must be yours to play with mustn't it? Tags are lovely Brenda so pleased you got to take a picture before Rosa got her paws on them. Thank you for all you are doing to promote our little challenge River of Creativity, the stream is starting to flow now. xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candle Brenda and I absolutely love these bookmarks … I’m still wanting to make more as Christmas gifts (after my 4 seasons st ) and these are really inspiring. What a disaster that naughty Rosa ate them! Hope you can recreate them with out too much trouble as they would be very welcome gifts for someone x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful gifts Brenda. Rosa must have thought they were for her.

Oh dear well she has good taste as they are fab
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Naughty Rosa! If it's any consolation Marvin would have eaten all 3...and the candle, given the slightest opportunity! The bookmarks were beautiful as is the candle.

Oh Brenda what a shame about your candles but your story did make me smile...your book marks are beautiful such lovely colours...and I love your sunflower candle
ReplyDeleteAnne
oh naughty Rosa! We will let her off as she is still learning lol!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful bookmarks and you've inspired me to do some. Although I mainly read on my kindle these days I do love a bookmark.
Aw she wanted to help, I bet. These are lovely. Vee xx
ReplyDeleteOh no Brenda, what a pity, no doubt Rosa just wanted to help, in a puppy sort of way.
ReplyDeleteYour book marks are gorgeous, beautifully stamped and inked, Kate x
Oh dear, how upsetting, I do hope she has learnt her lesson now and such a shame because those bookmarks are fabulous and would make such good presents. I have no idea how you go about stamping on a candle, it looks very impressive xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bookmarks I love the stamps and background,sorry but the story made me smile -do you think she listened?-love the stamps on your candle -am just in the middle of making one---well when I say in the middle I mean the idea is there and I have a candle lol.

What a shame that Rosa took a liking to them but they are gorgeous after all. Lovely gifts along side the candle too.

oh dear I remember those days when Bella was a puppy thank goodness she is over that now. Such a shame, your bookmarks and candle should I say were beautiful. Love Alison xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bookmarks and I love dressing up candles too, gorgeous. x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful bookmarks!
ReplyDeleteCandle is so pretty.
Hugs
Beautiful bookmarks Brenda and a pretty candle too! xx
ReplyDeleteOeps; the things that happen with the things that had to stay whole for at least a bit more time... Well I think you never have a dull moment with Rosa!
ReplyDeleteLove the serene feeling of the boolmarks, but the candle is something special and my favorite! Hugs, Gerrina
Gorgeous candle and beautiful bookmarks, what a shame they didn’t last very long at least you managed to get photos so we could all see them as they were before Rosa took a fancy to them. Have a lovely evening.

Ciao Brenda, i tuoi segnalibri sono così belli insieme con i loro diversi colori! Peccato che Rosa li ha assaggiati! Ma i cuccioli fanno questo ed altro! :D
ReplyDeleteLa storia mi ha fatto sorridere e mi ha ricordano un aneddoto che mi è successo anni fa: C'era stata una nevicata, una cosa molto insolita dalle mie parti e le mie piante grasse nei vasi erano coperte di neve. Erano così belle con la neve sopra che le ho fotografate... Peccato che non ho pensato di portarle in casa al caldo e la mattina dopo erano una poltiglia verde.... distrutte dal freddo!! Mi sono rimaste solo le foto. Anche io ho avuto una chiacchierata con me stessa quella volta! LOL :D
Stupenda la candela, così luminosa con i fiori gialli!!
Un abbraccio, oggi qui freddo e pioggia e le zucche ancora devono maturare completamente
These are so beautiful, Brenda! I really love the candle! Oh dear--it's hard to be an 8 mo old puppy, you know--haha! Fritz put everything he could reach in his mouth until he turned 2! I couldn't take my eyes off him for more than a second!
ReplyDeleteWell I guess Rosa doesn’t want a bookmark for her book then?!!!! They are mini works of art and looked gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat candle is a stunner too. Def too pretty to burn!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Yes, dogs are such joy and love... Everything is so beautiful, I love bookmarks because I also collect them. And the candle is so special.
ReplyDeleteCheeky pup Rosa, bet she was in the dog house Brenda!! They were very pretty book marks and the candle is a lovely piece of decor xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous candle and the bookmarks are just wonderful Brenda. Thank goodness you photographed them before they were, ahem, 'cleared away' by miss Rosa. Surely a misunderstanding...! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI am yet to try the candles... but it's a brilliant gift idea!
ReplyDeleteI put in a second entry (another door sign) in the River of Creativity but this time from my Instagram. This is all new to me so I am investigating how it works! x
Beautiful bookmarks Brenda, but what a shame Rosa thought you'd made them for her! At least you have a photo of them.
ReplyDeleteThe candle looks fabulous, something I'm always saying I'm going to do.
