I'm also linking up with Liv Lane's Little Bliss List. Liv has a beautiful blog. Every Friday she offers a place to share our favourite things of the week. Things that we are grateful for and that have brought us a little bit of bliss and sparkle. It would be fab if you fancied linking up your favourite things and Little Bliss List there too.
I have a few favourite things to share with you this week, a few things on my Little Bliss List.
- My mum gave me these little primroses in pots. I've put them so that I can see them each morning through the kitchen window. This week they really came into full bloom and produced the most beautiful flowers. All around was ice and frost, and in the midst of the cold these little flowers were valiantly shouting out (in what I like to imagine to be a slightly husky but determined manner, somewhat akin to Katherine Hepburn if you will) "Spring is coming!" They make me smile. I'm so grateful for the burst of colour and optimism they've brought to my mornings.
- Your kind and supportive comments on my blog post on Tuesday really warmed my heart. I had no idea I was going to get such a resounding show of support. Your words made such a difference to how I was feeling. I went from feeling as if I was on a ledge (nekkid) chewing my fingers to nubbins, to feeling as if I was well wrapped up in warm woollies and could jump off the ledge and fly. Thank you. ♥
- More and more I am finding my blog a beautiful way to connect with people. I'm so grateful for the lovely friends I'm making through Mimi and Tilly. Thank you for taking the time to come here and read what I write.
- My cat Ernie likes to cuddle his own head. He did it again yesterday and it made my teeth hurt it was so cute.
- I read this quote this week and loved it. Liv Lane has been inspiring me to face some of my fears and I'm so grateful for her guidance.

I love this... the mere mention of spring brings joy to my heart... and then add the flowers... well, that IS bliss! Have a wonderful Friday!
We are a long way from spring here and won't have prime roses until March. Nice to have them early.
Love it! The kitty one is so sweet.
Those primroses are just a blast of bliss for me today. Flower lovers unite!
Your comparison to Kathrine Hepburn is great too. She should be smiling!
Warmly, Kathy

Have a great weekend!
such a sweet photo of your cat and those primroses look beautiful. what a way to brighten these dreary winter days.
Lovely post, i'll have to remember to link up next week :o) Scarlett x
I love watching my cat all curled up and sleeping too. It definately makes my bliss list.
Thanks for stopping in on my blog.
The colours of the flowers compliment your blog colour scheme! Great quote from Eleanor Roosevelt.
Beautiful flowers!!!! Bliss :) Thank you for sharing and having a link up :) ! Love & Grace, AnaLisa
Ahhh your beautiful primrose shots are making me want Spring. BBTL is a great experience, for sharing and connecting, isn't it?
Awww, Ernie is so cute! The primroses are gorgeous too, such a nice splash of colour for a winter day.
Pretty flowers and a curled up tabby - thee really is joy to be treasured in the small things, isn't there? You write in such a thoughtful and insightful way about these things, Emma.
Yes, the Fear - who doesn't have some of that? I am trying to say yes a few more times to the things that scare me instead of an automatic knee-jerk "NO!"
Have a lovely weekend. xxxxx
Emma,
Beautiful way to start the weekend.
I’d love to connect with you soon so that we can share some of our experiences.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your kind words.

beautiful post. I agree Liv is an inspiration. love your site!
I love that your flowers have Hepburn's voice. I think I'll carry that with me as I gaze on my own plants surrounded by snow!
What a great list! I totally love the pictures of the flowers, I really like purple tones and it makes me happy just looking at those. And the cat is so adorable. :) Have a nice weekend!
I loved your recent post and how you showed your love and courage in face of everything that you are going through.
Recently, Mitt Romney was "glitter bombed", did you see it? I don't think it was meant in a nice way, although he tried to turn it around and said, "It's confetti, I just won Florida!". That is what we have to do in life, try our best to make the best of things and appreciate all the love that comes to us.
(of course, the glitter reminded me of you!)
Your photos and your blog are lovely! And thank you for the reminder of all the kind comments on our Brave Blog Posts. I think I will have to go back to my list and add that! Ernie reminds me of my own cat who is no longer with me - thanks for sharing a little kitty-love here, too!
Beautiful, beautiful flowers!
Hello! I just found your blog and I think it's AMAZING! The pics are great and I can see that You really like what you do here! I love people with great ideas, like you!
Your blog is inspiring! I will follow you!

Loved this! And I'm a huge Eleanor Roosevelt fan {was just talking about her last night, in fact!}, so it was fun to see your post end with that quote. Thanks for linking up and for the kind words!
Those primroses are beautiful! I think I feel a painting coming on.... Also love the quote by Eleanor, quite insightful, thanks for sharing
Beautiful primroses, should put a smile on anyone's face. Loving all your quotes.
