Little Things

Little Things

Simple little things give me the biggest joy sometimes....

It doesn't have to be expensive or too shiny to make my heart bubble up a little.

 One of my favorite things.  

Earlier this spring I purchased a house and I had a lot

of fixing up to do. 
When the weather got nicer, I wanted

to make a little place on my screened in porch to 

relax and watch the 

trees blow, the rabbits play and watch the hummingbirds feed.

I found a little table at the thrift store and painted it a "beachy" 

kind of blue and found some already whitewashed 

baskets and shells from the dollar store.

to add a little bit of magic to my night time visits to my new "special place"

I took out one of my wide mouth mason jars and added a little string

of micro lights to it...purchased at Walmart

it gives the impression of Fireflies in a jar.

Nifty Mail Box

Ease the travel woes for someone you love

You know how when you come home from vacation and

there is a stack of mail the size of Mount Rushmore...

Well my niece just made this wonderful little 

solution for my sister and her husband.

All the mail was sorted by the person it was addressed to....

so they didn't have to do the sorting. 

Each bundle was tied with a pretty ribbon and there were

little treats in there to make going through the mail more enjoyable.

Heather, used an old shoe box that she covered with pretty material 

to make it special...

I love this idea and wish I was ....first ....going somewhere wonderfully warm and exotic

and second.....I wish someone would do this for me when I return...   ;-)
