Drawing inspiration from other blogs I’ve decided to make a list of five things every Friday that are currently bringing me joy. Life is crazy and stressful enough as it is and by the end of the week it’s nice to take a moment and think of the little things that are often overlooked, but bring us each little unexpected bursts of happiness. Here’s what’s currently behind the smile on my face…
TA DA! My inspiration board. I’ve been meaning to start one for months and finally got around to it. I’m loving the feminine pink wall color shown in the March issue of House Beautiful. Not to forget the funky and vibrant new line of home decor by Lilly Pulitzer. Those patterns– fabulous.
Yes, I’m serious. This loaf of bread is bringing me joy. Fresh from Whole Foods and I can’t wait to break into a slice. There’s just something about warm bread pulled right from the oven. Endless possibilities await this little loaf– sandwiches? french toast? Future salad croutons?
This little tin can almost didn’t make it home with me. Thankfully, my mom formed an attachment and wouldn’t leave the store without it. So, to you mom, my kitchen and cooking utensils thank you from the bottom of their hearts.
Brightly colored bendy straws also make the list this week. As a 2011 resolution to drink more water, adding these cute little straws to my beverage makes it that much easier to finish the glass. Perhaps in the summer I’ll add umbrellas instead…
If you haven’t tried Jam Jar wine then I must insist that you pick up a bottle next time you’re out. It’s a sweet shiraz from South Africa and the perfect compliment to cheese and dessert. Of course I’m a fan of a glass (or two) by itself… The red and white checkered cap has me longing for summer days when I can pack a picnic, a bottle of wine and some great appetizers to share.
What’s making you happy this week?
