Oh my, have you seen a copy of
Bella Grace yet?
I've been hearing so much about it from all of you lovelies out there,
for so long now, that I'm probably one of the last to talk about it!
I did start with the last winter issue, so cozy and heartwarming, and now
this spring issue is just so lovely!
I guess I'm telling you this now, because today was one of
those days where I just felt blah and all I wanted to do was
surround myself with some of my favorite things.
So, it was a great day to just sit with my coffee
and get lost in pages and pages of inspiring stories and images!
Rain Drops on Roses? No, just lavender, lots of lavender!
Looking through the photographs I took while visiting the lavender farms
in Sequim last year makes me
eager for warmer days and catching whiffs of lavender while strolling
through the purple fields.
Whiskers on Kittens?
Yes! I can't resist a sweet kitty face, can you? Of course I'm especially partial
to our 3 sweet cats.
Lucy will often times curl up on my lap while I'm reading and purr until
she falls asleep.
Brown Paper Packages Tied up with String...
...and speaking of "string,"
I find the process of crocheting covers for stones to be very meditative.
Well, unless the string you're using to crochet a springtime scarf turns into
a pile of Raman Noodles!
(It's actually better now...I've found my mistake and I'm moving on)
So, while I probably would love to have a "copper kettle" and a pair
of "warm woolen mittens" I'll just stick to these
favorite things for now.
Just sharing this post with you, and thinking about
some of my favorite
things has already made me feel less blah.
Enjoy your week my friends!
Until next time,
Becca

love your sweet lucy. and the ramen noodles made me laugh. :)
I have never seen this magazine and I have been in the mood for one. So I'll look for it! You got my interest with 'lavender'! Enjoy your evening my friend. Hugs!
I haven't had a chance to read this one yet. It does look lovely! You really have the most exquisite photos, Becca!
Say I wrap packages with brown paper and jute too. When my kids were little, a special present was always wrapped as such:)
Haven't heard of that magazine, Becca; it sounds interesting. You are so brave to work with that teeny tiny crochet thread! I think we need some sunshine!
I've seen the magazine-it looks great!
Glad you found your (crocheting mistake. I've been stuck on a few knitting projects myself lately.
Have a super day :)
The lavender photo made my day! Looking out at my brown garden and hoping this Iowa winter has been kind to my favorite lavender plants. Happy Spring!
Well I am happy that the 'warm woollen mittens' season has almost passed us. Although we really didn't have a bad winter at all. I've seen that magazine but have never purchased it. I will have to look closer at it!
And you know I love those sweet kitty whiskers with those beautiful green eyes!!!
Glad you got out of the blahs!
