Dear Nadira, please pardon me for loving so many things on your blog (and probably rebloging so many things, in the future [if you don't mind]). It's just... your blog is like a collection of all the pretty things here - on tumblr - . in other words: a wonderful creation (and so are you). Have the most lovely weekend. P.S. of course you don't have to post this on your page, my stupid message would ruin your blog. I just wanted to give you an explanation for all the reblogs etc. (And hopefully a smile on your face.) Love, Odette (that's my name, nice to meet you).
this is the sweetest message I’ve ever received! thank you ever so much my swan, you’ve made my afternoon. lots of love, xxxxxxxxx
