    Oh Rosemary, these peony photos are so beautiful! I just get lost in your pics. I'm so happy to hear you will be by the sea soon. And I loved your idea for fizzy lifty drinks for some al fresco fun. Afterward, I'll need to dream in your breathtaking mermaid grotto room. I couldn't keep my eyes off those amazing details in your previous post!
    Sigh...you've done a magnificent job in that room. :)
    Take care, Susan

    Oh sweet Rosemary, I love your beautiful peonies (one of my favorites for sure), but when you said you were going to the sea...well, I just had a moment. I wish you a grand time. I am envious, I must admit. I can't wait to see your sea truffles, christened by the sea.

    Hugs and salty kisses!
