Happy

Have you thought about what makes you happy? Where your "Happy Place" is! I do all the time. I consider myself a rookie gardener and junker! I love to be in my yard digging in the soil. There is something so peaceful about adding flowers or making a beautiful sitting area. I also love "junking"! Garage sales, estate sales, flea markets.....love'm!

I hope to bring a simplicity to my life. Simple beauty in simple things. A sort of "stop and smell the roses" kind of attitude! 

Now..... how do I do this!!! I want my home to be our sanctuary. The place we want to be and spend time. I want to be creative. I know I can! I just need to allow myself the time to do it. I am relearning to take good photographs in hopes of capturing my "happy places"! My word for the year is START so, now is the time!

Spring is around the corner and I am ready! Ready to plant and paint and search for that unique something to add to my home. Oh, and snap a few pictures along the way! These are a few I took on my first practice with the new camera. They make me happy!

One Last Snow Day!

A winter storm warning went into effect yesterday at 2 p.m. The snow began to fall late last night and seemed to stop. Well, this morning school was cancelled and it continued to fall! I do love a snow day! I think this will be Mother Nature's last show here in the Willamette Valley. Spring is around the corner and I am ready for it!

It's the perfect day for my favorite tea and my favorite magazines! A little Romantic Homes, Country Living and I hear the new Flea Market Style is out. I may have to head out in the snow for a Borders field trip!

Sun, rain or snow...... Enjoy your day!

P.S. I am very excited to practice with my new camera! It's a big girl camera. I have much to learn and relearn.
