February Note Card Party with Vee

Sometimes it's the simple things in our 

lives that bring us the biggest joy.

My theme for this note card party is

comfort and happy things.

In this case

a tiny white pitcher brought to me 

by a candle customer.

She wanted it filled.

It came out so cute.

It is not intrusive.

It is delicate.

Just a little feminine touch.

The white kitty was a gift from a neighbor

lady when I was just a girl.

Somehow it has survived 

nine moves.

This neighbor has been gone for 

quite some time but the lessons about 

art learned in her home have stayed with me.

The time she took out of her day for two 

ragamuffin preacher's kids from down the road

have never ceased to be appreciated.

Here we have the simplicity of the white serving platter

and the delicious comfort of vanilla yogurt drizzled with honey.

This totally made me happy.

This came from a post called

Local Cafe Does it Right

Even though this is one of my creations it is one of my favorites.

It speaks to upcoming Spring while having the deep brown 

base to allow us to acknowledge that we have not yet 

crossed over to that reality yet.

I look forward every year to the dogwood blooms

on the tree just outside our window.

I will enjoy this piece in my living room until someone 

purchases it from my Etsy shop.

And then....perhaps I shall make another?

Another nostalgic item.

These are actually soy wax melters

but don't they look like 

old fashioned

soaps?

My friend the soapmaker got excited when I told

him that we could have sold these several times

at one of my shows

if they had been soaps.

Takes one back to grandma's house.

The powder room seemed to 

always have some kind of shaped soaps.

So, if you pay attention you will have learned

much about me in this post.

I have shared the things that I find 

to be beautiful and that represent or 

bring happiness into my life.

And....at the same time

I would totally make

note cards out of these photos.

Taking part in Vee's February Note Card Party.

the different entries.

I do hope you'll stop in again.
