Five Star Frou-Frou #37...love and life...

http://wvpanoply.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/love-letters-from-greatest-generation.html 
Welcome to this weeks edition of Five Star Frou-Frou.
 
Valentines Day brought some beautiful links and I thank you all. I had a terrible time choosing features this week, so that can only be a good thing, right? The standard of everyones' posts was absolutely fabulous. 
 
In the end, how could I go past Rita from Panopoly's recounting of her Fathers love letters to her Mother during the war. Heartwarming doesn't begin to describe this post. I defy you not to cry. Please click on the image above to take you there.

Leigh at A Chat over Coffee also brought tears to my eyes with her tutorial on silk corsages that she distributes to the widows and widowers in her church congregation on Valentines Day. Just beautiful.
 
And finally, Annabel's beautiful pink, heart shaped soaps, embedded with rosebuds, were perfect for Valentines gift giving. You have to see what else Annabel got up to as well. Stunning!

Thankyou again to everyone for linking up. I honestly would have loved to give everyone a feature this week!
 

rou-Frou - Noun
Meaning: Frills or other ornamentation

Origin: French, late 19th century

Imitative of the sound of a woman walking in a dress

In my imagination, this linkup is like a weekly gathering of friends, swishing around in stylish dresses and frou-frou. We all love to entertain graciously, live elegantly, dress beautifully, and gift generously, no matter our budget.

Like any regular gathering, we like to make sure we acknowledge newcomers, say hi to old friends, and share our most engaging news. Please do this...it's lovely for us all to have a new friend stop by.
 
So before we start...

1. Please follow A Tray of Bliss. I am here, on Facebook and Pinterest (as Mimi's Savings Secrets).

2. Please visit new friends, revisit old ones, and leave comments to show your appreciation of their work. We all love that.

3. I'd also love it if you'd link back to A Tray of Bliss somewhere on your page.

The collection has closed. Let other people know about it through twitter.

    Couldn't agree more about featuring Rita's dad's love letters. What a treasure for their family! Thanks for hosting. Sorry to be late linking up. I've been out of town.
