Be Still My Heart....


Thank you for stopping in again today. I am going through our photos from our vacation in April and I thought they were too beautiful not to be shared.


This gorgeous glass ceiling was in a meeting room at the Empress Hotel where we stayed...the colours were fantastic!


The antiques were placed along the hallways to add charm and beauty...


The shot above was of the ceiling in one of the dining rooms..I could not stop looking at it!



Another ceiling shot on the floor with the quaint shops..


My heart sang when I saw this toile wallpaper in the ladies room!




More of antiques gracing the hallways of the hotel.. 



Below is a view onto the Harbour when we got off the elevator on our floor..



Beautiful inserts in the wall panels.. 




These two prints caught my eye....so romantic! I think I will have to search for copies on-line. 



This truly was a vacation to treasure for many years... I hope you enjoyed a small glimpse! Check out my earlier posts for more of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.


Hugs,
Wanda

Hatley Castle


Hello friends...today I am sharing photos of Hatley Castle in British Columbia, Canada. 
As my Sweetie and I wandered the grounds of this wonderful piece of History I imagined I was from the period and was enjoying My castle and the gardens... too funny I know but it is fun to imagine..isn't it?





I love the way the vines have wrapped around the pillars...





Wonderful isn't it.....



Beautiful statues in the gardens...




Well back to reality... have a great week ahead!


Blessings,
Wanda
