Greetings Cottage Friends and happy Friday.
I've gathered my randoms for the week.
I find I'm really enjoying this exercise, as it reminds me of blessings and joy that comes into my life every day.
#1 - Tea Box Art
We drink a lot of hot herbal tea in the winter, Celestial Seasonings being one of our favorites.
This is a photo of the artwork on the Cranberry Apple Zinger box. It's based on an original painting by Robert Giusti. Isn't it charming?
#2 - Salad Art
I enjoy the presentation of a colorful salad on a simple white plate; like the one I made last night for dinner. Fresh spinach; slivers of red pepper, sweet onion and carrots; sliced cold chicken breast and garlic/herb feta cheese; dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Simple, fresh, delicious and pretty.
#3 - Surprise
Dennis did the grocery shopping yesterday. He surprised me with fresh flowers from the floral department. I like the way this man shops.
#4 - Possibilities
A stop at our local Habitat Restore on Monday yielded another fabric score: 7 yards of Joan Kessler for Concord Fabric for $1.50. That's less that 22 cents a yard. It's probably from the 90's. There's so much of it, I think the possibilities of how to use this fabric are endless.
#5 - Encouragement
My word for the year is "create". I'm trying new things that may or may not work out, but that's not going to stop me from continuing to attempt something I've never done before. I printed off this quote I found online, and it now hangs next to my desk to remind me not to give up.
What has brought you joy this week?
