It's extraordinary that certain words can summon such strong emotions and how powerful the connotation associated with a word can be. Think about it - someone can say they are a certain nationality, race, or religion and with that single word, one can instantly form an opinion about that person -even though it's typically untrue. One the other hand, many words are so overused they've lost their meaning. Browse through Craig's List or real estate listing - get real folks - let's call a spade a spade.
OK, enough with the esoteric you-know-what. I want to do the opposite of something we all have heard, "a picture is worth a 1,000 words." I've selected two of my favorite adjectives that I believe go hand and hand. My goal is to "define" what they mean to me with pictures.
"ENCHANTING" and "CHARMING"
The Cotswolds
"The Shop Around the Corner" from You've Got Mail, although everything about this movie is enchanting.
The house from Bewitched the movie.
The Linden Grove at the Meridian House (the backyard of the house where I had my wedding reception). I have no idea who these people are - My wedding pictures are not digital, so I had to lift one from the internet.
More of the Linden Grove
The shop in the sleep French town in the movie Chocolat. (on that note, many individually owned candy stores are enchanting.)
A Little Princess
Mary McDonald
Oak Trees covered with Spanish moss
Magnolia Plantation, Charleston, CS
Gary Crowther via Southern Accents
Kathy M. Ireland via Elle Decor
Merryvale Vineyards Cask Room
That's all I have time for - the kids are on the mend, but I am still sick as a dog. Here's to an enchanted weekend, but I will settle for a germ-free one.
Cheers!
Elizabeth
