L is for ---on Alphabe-Thursday

I am barely slipping in here for Alphabe-Thursday.
But I wanted to be sure to get my post done because
this time it is the letter "L".  And
my name starts with the letter "L".
Linnea

I have posted about this before here and shared some of these pictures 
at that time.
Linnea is the name of a flower that grows in the northern latitudes. 
So because of that I have never seen the real thing.
On my sidebar to the left is a picture of the actual Linnea flower.
If you click on it, the link will take you to a site that explains more about the 
Linnea flower.
Above I have some items with the Linnea flower on it.
My mother gave me the bowl and made the crossstitch 
table topper in the upper right.
I think I bought the stationary and the 
dresser scarf in the lower right.
I wear the necklace frequently and 
sometimes where the pin.
This picture shows what is inside the stationary folder.
A closeup of the jewerly.
And this trivet my mother bought for me and forgot to give it to me.
she gave it to me a few months ago. It can also hang on the wall.

It is a very dainty looking flower as well.

Thanks for coming by!

What a beautiful lovely flower! I've always admired your name, but I didn't know you were named after a flower!

How lucky that flower has you for a namesake!

Thank you for linking and Happy Valentines Day!

A+

Love that flower. I had no idea that your name was a flower...and it makes it all the more lovely! Hey, congratulations on losing weight. Obviously you are doing just great. I love the counter of weight loss as well. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I stop by often but as my hands gets worse I leave fewer and fewer comments. You take care my friend! Stay healthy!!!
