simple.




"Appreciate what you've got, even the really small things. For me, those small things are often domestic… Everyday happiness, as opposed to one-off great bursts of pure ecstasy, is intricately tied in with everyday events: the jaunty-looking teapot that pours without dribbling, the children's bathtime, blossom in spring, an especially good book. These things aren't sexy, or glamorous, or envy-making, but they are the fabric of all our days. Concentrating on them, and on all the small joys they provide, can be intensely fulfilling. Moaning because you can’t afford a $500 pair of shoes is not."

India knights- the thrift book

                                                                    

whilst my life around me is one spasmodic whirlwind, i've been sticking to simplistic clothes & pleasures, which i do most of often than not, but even more so now. 

so a sunday morning in the sun, with my book, beverages and the sound of birds making nests above me... is utterly blissful and full of thankful thoughts.

I totally agree with you!
We don't appreciate the small things that are the important ones.

By the way, great pictures.

Oh Lisa, I love this. I want an antique table set just like that, the moment I saw the first image I said ALICE IN WONDERLAND and the b & w tone to the photos is the perfect compliment. I'm a reader too.

Have a great start to your week, dear!! :)
