  4. Chickory,
    how charming

    "Peace be With You"

  7. This has a very old world religious feal to it.

  8. This is lovely and evokes a feeling of peace with the subtle green background, the palm frond, the sheep and the symbols of alpha and omega ... "I am the Alpha and Omega,the beginning and the end, the first and the last".
    Book of Revelation.

    xoxo ♥
