Just Because….
We all have things. Things that make our hearts sing. Maybe it’s because someone special gave it or it has a splendid memory attached or for no other reason than it makes our heart sing.
So just because I love details, a few things that make me happy from my kitchen…
Teapot. Given as a gift. The whistle of a teapot is a good sound and love the vibrant blueness.
Basil. Fragrance at it finest. And better yet, it makes me feel all “chef like” when I use fresh basil for dinner.
Blueberries. Summer produce always makes me happy. We love these little berries.
Mugs. Wedding gift from my mother. I can remember so well searching for the perfect dinnerware with her. If it was important to me, it was a priority to her also. So we searched a myriad of stores. Always used with affection.
Dish towels. Colorful. Gotta do those dishes…
Cake stand. Found on the clearance shelf without a price tag. Perfect, right? Got it for three bucks. Martha Stewart would even have to agree that’s a good buy.
Happy summer, Friday!

I’m wondering if I can still use my basil when it has broken out in flowers. Is it too late? Do you know?

Char, I think you ought to take the time and thank the Lord for the talents he’s given you! You are an excellent, artistic photographer and your writing style is unique and fun to read! And you know how to enjoy the simple things in life. We are all gifted differently, your gifts are easily seen while other peoples gifts may be less easy to see. Have a great weekend!
