The grape hyacinths are in bloom, so I brought a sprig of these bell-shaped flowers to enjoy their “true blue” beauty !!

A little light in the dark can be helpful – should not be forgotten :-) I wish all those suffering from the desease some light and not to be forgotten. And I hope a smile lights up your face – maybe that helps a little bit too.
I wish everyone a nice weekend and a happy SoS!
Dedicated to "ME / CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day" on May 12.

Etwas Licht im Dunkeln kann vielleicht hilfreich sein – sollte man nicht vergessen. Etwas Licht und ein Nicht-Vergessen wünsche ich allen Betroffenen. Und ich hoffe, ein Lächeln leuchtet im Gesicht – das hilft vielleicht auch ein ganz klein wenig.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende und einen glücklichen SoS!
Gewidmet dem Tag "ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day" on May 12.

I know YOU may be suffering now,
I see you curled up by the wall
And the only thing I CAN do,
is to FEEL your tears with my soul...
I'll paint my mood in shades of blue.

This delicate and fragile egg has been painted completely by hand in a beautiful Art Nouveau style, known as Arts and Crafts Movement or “Style Liberty” in the United Kingdom. The egg has a background of vibrant aqua blue which is decorated with a mixture of stylised blue flowers and foliage in a William Morris style and then overlaid with tiny silver white flecks. The egg is then covered in a varnish to protect the fragile hand painted surface.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 6th of May “Blue for You – ME 2023” which is in honour of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day which happens to fall on May 12th. May the 12th was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.
As the theme for “Smile on Saturday” this week was open to subject but required a lot of blue, I thought I would submit another of my ornamental eggs, all of which just happen to be blue! This egg, perched atop a small porcelain rest, has a small puncture at both the top and the bottom, indicating that it was “blown”, a tradition where one blows the white and yolk of the egg through the hole in the bottom by way of exhaling into the hole at the top. A time consuming method, egg blowing must be done gently so as not to break the fragile egg shell by applying too much pressure. It can take well over an hour to blow a single egg. The paper I have chosen for the background, which also just happens to be blue, is William Morris’ 1875 “Marigold” pattern which I thought suited this Style Liberty Easter egg as well as the blue theme. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Early in the morning it’s still dark before Mother Nature gradually colors the sky. The pink color is called the Belt of Venus, I've always loved it and its both delicate blondes and incredibly strong shades of pink. I'm ready, I'm waiting for the sun.

Muscari
Genus
Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring. The common name for the genus is grape hyacinth, but they should not be confused with hyacinths. In the United States, they are also commonly referred to as bluebells, though certain regions reserve this name for bluebonnets instead. A number of species of Muscari are used as ornamental garden plants.

Smile on Saturday: BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2022
Am 12. Mai ist ME/CFS und Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.
Die M.E. Awareness Week wurde von Patientenvertretern ins Leben gerufen und ist auf den 12. Mai ausgerichtet, den Geburtstag von Florence Nightingale, von der angenommen wird, dass sie an M.E. litt.
Ab 1857 war Nightingale häufig durch einen schlechten Gesundheitszustand behindert, der nach Ansicht mancher durchaus auf das Chronische Erschöpfungssyndrom (CFS) zurückzuführen sein könnte.
Infolgedessen wurde Nightingale nun zu einer Art Schutzpatronin für diese wenig erforschte Krankheit ernannt.
CFS-Kranke begehen ihren Geburtstag als eine Art Sammelpunkt, als ihr eigenes Licht in der Dunkelheit.
Unserer Maria, die ebenfalls M.E. hat, und allen anderen Betroffenen alles Liebe und Gute !! 💙
On 12th May is ME/CFS und Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.
M.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was believed to have suffered with M.E.
From 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS).
As a result, Nightingale now has been adopted as a kind of patron saint for this under-studied disease.
CFS sufferers commemorate her birthday as a kind of rallying point; their own lamp in the dark.
All the best and love to our Maria, who also has M.E., and to all others affected !! 💙

The weekly/monthly challenge - Around the house...a favourite nook or cranny. This is the room my son, his partner and our grandson occupied while they were living with us and until lockdown our grandson used to love going in there to play. It's fast becoming a favourite place to take my photos and I always think of my dear little grandson, and the fun we had, while I'm in there. We also use this room to record video stories to send him.
Happy Saturday.

Sending love and sincere wishes for pain relief. Sometimes just getting away from it all helps, like sailing on a beautiful calm day!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Not my colour at all but I have this blue jar, only as a prop !, and the dried hydrangea flowers. I added the blue shell for fun.
Some textures to make it more interesting.

Smile on Saturday theme Blue for You - ME 2022
In support of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day - 12 May.
[M.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was believed to have suffered with M.E. From 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). As a result, Nightingale has now been adopted as a kind of patron saint for this under-studied disease.]
I too was a victim of that illness in my mid twenties, it stole away about 10 years of my life. I'm happy to say that I'm a lot better now but my heart goes out to all those people who are suffering from an invisible and difficult to diagnose illness and in frustration that a lot of the medical profession still refuse to recognise it’s existence.
Happy Smile on Saturday 💙💙💙
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 10th of May is “Blue for You – ME 2025” which is in honour of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day which happens to fall on May 12th. May the 12th was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life. I have friends who suffer with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia, so this theme has a personal connection for me, even if I do not have it myself.
As the subject for “Smile on Saturday” this week was open to personal choice but required a lot of blue, although I usually create a blue themed Playmobil tableau, I have broken with tradition this year, as I recently was given a rather lovely blue hand painted resin Nostalgia Shoe which I felt was perfect to feature in a photograph. I have paired my slipper which features red and gold accents with a blue Art Deco “Charme Caressant” Rachel powder box from my powder box collection which features stylised red and pink flowers on it. I have photographed them on a piece of hand made and printed paper featuring a William Morris pattern in blue. I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
"Charme Caressant" is the name of a vintage Dalon face powder, produced in both Paris and Sydney from 1924 into the 1930s. It was a popular French beauty product known for its Art Deco style and various colour shades.
