Door to the Garden

Desiree Habicht
Watercolor on paper

This postcard comes from Desiree's creative brush during a moment to herself near a garden retreat.  The welcoming cushions on the chair and the open door to the garden allows us to experience the wonderful garden exterior with beautifully accommodating weather but blocked by the bench, keeping us safely cocooned in the cool interior.

 Receiving this card lifted my spirits and kept me smiling for the rest of the day.  I have placed it on the desk that is now holding all of my postcards. 

Here are the cards I have received up to this point.(right to left)
Bridget, Desiree, Katherine, Charlene
Martin, Vivian, Liz and Cathy

A lovely use of watercolour - the colours are quite beautiful as is the scene.

Desiree...there's a magic to this card that I love...why does it bring Anne of Green Gables to mind? Beautiful!
And I love seeing all your cards displayed Pat!
