It's the little things...


Enjoy the little things...


Write little notes of inspiration and hide them from yourself... places you won't go for a while... inside books, in summer clothes pockets... so when you stumble across them later they will bring a happy smile!
Inspiring Words


I love this beautiful window treatment... mades of trinkets, jewels, stones and other happy little things!

There are so many incredible artists out there!  We had the pleasure of a visit w/ Butch Anthony a little while back and he is an amazing visionary! He has been on Pickers and featured in the NYT for his incredible home! His homestead is the beautiful location where the Do-Nanny Art festival is held--- Seale Alabama... We enjoyed our visit and our guided tour of his home and museum-- The Museum of Wonder! (photos were taken by our friend Karen Mack)

Quiet Sundays... a day for worship, reflection, meditation & family---

I love Sunday...


Sunday is our quiet day... a day of spiritual sharing, quiet meditation.  Even our animals seem to kick into "chill" mode.  We have been so blessed in our life together, we cannot help but stand in awe and wonder and total gratitude.  I am so thankful for this life partner i have been blessed with... he is a man of sincere compassion for people, honesty, and character.  He helps me find my best self.
