White Wednesday

My friend Rhondi over at Rose Colored Glasses is having a White Wednesday party.

I think I have mentioned how this time of year I crave a bit of white in my home.  It is so calming and bright. I am sure it is the brightness, more than anything that I appreciate.  It is so often gloomy in Michigan in January.

I found these beautiful creamy white primroses at Home Depot for 79 cents last week. I wanted to load up my cart but I had some self control and only bought three.

They just glow in the sunshine, and even when it is dark, they are a bright spot in my home.

I think I found these little birds at a yard sale. cheep. lol:>)  The fine embroidered lawn tablecloth came in a bag of vintage linens from my Aunt Sharon.  It is crisp and so delicate you can see through it.  I love how the embroidery adds a little texture in such a pretty way. The tureen was a gift from a friend who knew I would enjoy it. It doesn't have a lid but that means it is perfect for displaying plants and other things around the house.  I appreciate the crackly finish and the aged white. 

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has purchased a heart from my etsy shop. I am slowly getting around to making more. Anyone else have time management issues?  I know I do.  I appreciate everyone who visits, each comment, each new follower.  It is a constant amazement to me that my ramblings draw any interest at all.  I thank you humbly for your interest and friendship!

January is almost over, I am so thankful for that!  Christina at Soul Aperture is having a link party and encouraging everyone to think about the simple things in life that bring us joy.  What are some of my simple joys?

Every ray of warm sunshine that peeks from behind the clouds. 

 Flowers, fresh air, the hope of Spring. 

A hot cup of coffee on a cold day.

The feel and smell of a babys  buttery soft skin.

A soft warm bed at night, with fresh sheets!

A cuddle from my daughters.

My husbands warm arms around me.

The sound of leaves in a gentle breeze.

Soft grass beneath my feet. (Can you tell I need some spring?)

All such simple things that mean so much to me.  Hop over and say hello and maybe join the party.  We all have so many things to be thankful for! And don't forget to visit Rhondi and say hello. She is another lady who believes in thankfulness:>), just one of the many things I appreciate about her.  I hope you are all able to find some sunshine today. Thanks for stopping by!
