Hmm, if I were a drink I would be Mango Lassi and If I were a season, i would be Autumn and I were a fruit, I would be Mango and If I were a flower, i would be a prickly rose and If i were a stone, I would be a brilliant cut diamond..lol
The most brilliant and the most important sentiment in that entire lovely write up my darling, is that you would choose to just be YOU.....
there is nothing better than a world full of creative individuals who aren't afraid to just be themselves and not worry about fitting into a specific mold....
very lovely post!
I enjoyed 'reading to know you'...as someone once told me!
ciao bella

Duchess how do you come up with such brilliant post ideas? If I were a flower, I would be a rose. If I were a gem, I will be a ruby. If I were a drink, I would be a martini. Oh I can go on forever...love it.

Dear Duchess, that was so lovely!! So wonderful to be deilghted to be yourself!!
xxxx
Oh, wonderful, wonderful! What a fun post. If I were anything, at the moment, I would be a bump on a log with a tissue in it's twiggy fingers. blah!
Do you know, I was thinking of doing something so extremely like this. I will tell you why. When I was in tenth grade, we had an assignment to write a poem like this. I remember it well. The mood muse had visited. I was a dog barking in the distance, a Mercedes in the driveway, smoke curling from the chimney and autumn leaves falling. That was 28 years ago. I have been waiting for the muse to hit again but, apparently, she prefers to be at your house instead. Are you plying her with tea and pastries and flowers? (She LOVES flowers you know!)
Well! NOW what do I do?! I suppose if she decides to visit, I will just have to fearlessly go on and be myself no matter what it looks like.
Dearest Duchess, it is more than great minds that think alike. It is, also, that great hearts cannot help but feel alike too! = )
Love, Katy Noelle xo
Oh I love this! I would be a Cosmo if I were a drink......
Duchess, I am sitting here with a cup in hand browsing through blogland when your beautiful post popped at which time I knew I was in for a pleasant surprise and sweetie you I was right. I will give you just one sentence....if I could be anywhere at this moment, I would want to be at Rose Tea Cottage having tea with the Duchess.
Rosemary

Thank you Duchess for that fun exercise. It really made me sit and think about what I love and what I would be like. I loved reading all your thoughts and finding out a little more about you. How ingenious.
I was so inspired, I wrote out an entire response on my blog. You can see it here if you'd like.

Our peonies bloom in the month of May here in Kansas. I luv them. They remind me of my childhood...my Mom grew them. They were about the only plant she had plus purple Lilac Bushes in our backyard.
God Bless,

Hello, dear friend,
Loved your post! I always enjoy getting to know my friends better. I am with you in that I would rather be me than anyone else. I, too, would choose that rosy covered tea cup, nothing more beautiful, I don't think. I hope you have a marvelous rest of the week and a beautiful weekend, Duchess. Love to you! Vicki

A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm Girl! This was such a lovely post, but the music made me sad. It's both lovely and haunting. Hope all is well my dear. Ciao, bella!!
I'm a quintessential English girl, my family grew up with some of our Royals (making me a complete Monarchist) and I just found your blog and love it! :-)
Darling, I love this post of yours....luv it luv it luv it!
Oh dear Duchess, you never cease to amaze me. Every time I visit your blog, I'm uplifted. Thank heavens for people like you. Blessings.
If I were a color I would be pink as well, and if I were a flower I would be wisteria, and if I were a drink I would be lemonade, and if I were a fruit I would be a mango. If I were a season I would be Spring.
If I could be anyone, I would be me too! I am quite happy being me.
That was a lovely and fun post.
Hope you are doing well, no more

Duchess I loved your poem so much that it has inspired me to think how I could incorporate "If I was a ..." into my artwork somehow. It's given me lots to think about my lovely friend. In answer to your request about the feature. I would be honoured and delighted.
