Our Lady of the Roses

What do you think of my new (old) Mary of the Roses that I found at a local car boot sale the other week?


Isn't she divine!  I knew it was going to be a lucky day when a black cat suddenly jumped out in front of us on the way....

She was my first buy, as soon as I got there and then I had a lucky find of about 20 pieces of 1970's murano style glass...which of course I had to buy them all!...They are now, lovingly displayed, all around the house :)


So of course, as Our Lady wishes...I say a little prayer of thankfulness everyday :)

    That is definitely St. Therese, the Little Flower. See the below link: www.littleflower.org/abouttherese/learn/index.asp

    If you pray to her for a special intention, she will send you a sign that she heard your prayer - a rose in a dress pattern, someone will give you a rose, you'll smell roses when they aren't around, even roses in a wallpaper pattern. That is certainly a great find!
