idioms: e and f

It's time for Jientje's A Thousand words in Idioms. "The idea is to pick an idiom, or a saying, (even slang is allowed) and illustrate it with a picture. Each week we'll cover two letters of the alphabet". Here are my choices, pulled -again- -from the archives.



Every cloud has a silver lining
People sometimes say that every cloud has a silver lining to comfort somebody who's having problems. They mean that it is always possible to get something positive out of a situation, no matter how unpleasant, difficult or even painful it might seem.


Fit like a glove
If something fits like a glove, it is suitable or the right size.



I realize I have only worn my lace gloves for the blog and never in public. I bought them a while ago although my lifestyle does not require this kind of accessoire, but I love them! Any dead bodies in your wardrobe, too?

  2. I love your idiom choices and that lace glove is sexy! The only dead bodies in my wardrobe are my high heels -- I love them, but since I injured my knee I just can't wear them.

  3. The cloud photo is lovely and it fits the idiom very well. That's an interesting meme!

  8. PERFECT pictures for your choices! And excellent choices too! I LOVE that lace glove - and I would never wear them either... NO occasion to! I don't actually have any dead bodies in my closet... more the opposite - I need to freshen it up some! Put some of the dying to rest! LOL!

  9. Great pictures! I have a pair of fishnet gloves that I ended up giving to DD for play clothes cuz I don't have a reason to wear them anymore. I bought them for a history days celebration in Wyoming one year.

    Thanks for stopping by. My DH has been deployed to Iraq for 6 months, so prayers for safety are appreciated.

  11. Very clever on both of these, Mar....I can see why you love those gloves, but I can also see why you might not ever wear them, too...lol!
    Love both pictures, but especially that Cloud....the shape is so amazing!
