Simple pleasures

How can something so simple make one so happy?



I picked up this deliciously scented dishwashing liquid at Anthropologie the other day.  I fell in love with its large sized, amber hued glass bottle, and crisp clean label.



I especially love the way it looks next to my sink.



The best part is the highly recyclable packaging which allows me to re-fill and re-use the bottle!
So long Mrs. Meyers...it was nice knowing you.

White Grapefruit sounds heavenly. I know how you feel, something that simple makes me happy as well. I can't kick Mrs. Meyers to the curb yet, I'm in love with her pine & geranium scents. I miss Anthro, must make a trip inside the loop & check out this new soap out. Your sink looks lovely xx

HAHAH! I love it. I have a million things around me at any time in a given day that make me happy and my husband can't understand it. Cute crossword notebook that I never write in? Check. Vintage earrings bought at a thrift store in a plastic baggy in my purse that I don't wear but keep just in case? Check. The way Lollia perfume looks by my mirror even though I don't wear it? check.

Terri, We are such kindred spirits. I love pretty bottles and lovely smelling scents for my home. I am always on the hunt for new and fun soaps,lotions, and room sprays. Now for cleaning products, I am actually planning on doing a post on that one in the near future. I love the method eucalyptus and mint spray for my shower, it makes it smell like a spa. I could go on forever about what I call,"Smell Goods". I will have to check this one out. Looks perfecto on your sink,Hugs Kathysue

I know. Sometimes it is the simplest things that make the difference.
It's so much fun to just buy a new pretty soap or candle.
Enjoy!

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
