"Ancient Greece..."

...was my inspiration for this Fancy Full Heart.

I am a lover of ancient history...

from Prehistoric times up through

the Ancient Greeks.

I love all the art,

the architecture, the mythologies...

the unexplained mysteries...

the romantic legends, poems and stories.

I am fascinated by it all.

I enjoy imagining I am an archaeologist

out in the field uncovering wonders of the past...

no matter

whether it be a broken pottery shard,

or a bit of an arrowhead,

or a royal tomb...

to me they are found treasure...keys to the past-

they excite my heart!

Ancient history has bestowed upon us

a lavish bounty of gifts to enjoy

and

powerful lessons to learn.

We must remember to be thankful for it all.

This gilded heart

celebrates the best of the golden ages

of those special peoples who came before us...

their pinnacles of art and learning...

their triumphs, discoveries...

and

their positive influences on modern society.
