'a multitude of small delights
constitutes happiness'
c baudelaire
Just some of the 'small things' that have been inhabiting my world of late.
Things that are making me smile amidst a flurry of days that, to be honest, have been a little crazy to say the least.
Is it just me, or does the slippery slope as we head towards Christmas seem like a headlong rush?
My 'to-do' list grows longer and longer by the day, and I seem to add three things for every one that gets crossed off.
So in a small way, it's good for me to do a little post like this.
It reminds me to be grateful for moments such as these.
Hope your week is going beautifully!
Must fly - I have my lovely family coming to visit. For some reason they want to celebrate my birthday, even though it's one of those that I'd rather forget about!

ReplyDeleteLovely little vignettes Amanda. Ranuncs are one of my favourite blooms, I can't wait for them to bloom in the garden. How pretty is the dance plaque thingy - especially with Eva's name mentioned :)
ReplyDeletePretty pictures as ever Amanda! I agree - my new thing is to try to stop and notice the small details every now and then. I have slowed the pace of life as it's a real novelty after a similarly busy few months. Beautiful flowers...love the pink. Lou x

Happy Birthday Amanda - I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. Love your images of your small things - a pleasant reminder that there's much joy to find the in small moments and things of day to day life. Oh, and please don't mention the C word - I'm still reeling from the multitude of Halloween things that have been in the shops here since mid-August! Mind you I suppose that means that Christmas things won't appear until 1 November - a blessing in disguise perhaps...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
