Things I am happy about today

There are some things I really love. One of those things is the way the sun shines through the curtain on my outer door and makes a design on the entry way closet door. Coolness!

I have been getting some lively colors out for the winter so this rooster had to come out of the closet ;0)

This was given to me from my daughter. I love the mixes of color--blues and greens. I love how it feels in my hands (I use 2 hands to wrap around its loveliness!). It has a smooth warm feel---and there is something wonderful about drinking from a mug that someone made on a potter wheel. This is  nice cup for tea (although I use it for both coffee and tea).  I prefer this to my fancy tea cups because it holds more!!

A funny thing happened in church today. The pastor was giving reasons some come to church and he remarked that some people were at church today because their mom's made them come. One little boy piped up, "Yeah!"  It was so funny! The congregation was full of laughter. It was cool, because it showed the little guy was listening ;-).

  2. Hey Kim,

    I think we just might have the same curtain fabric? Mine is Ikea, about 7 years ago, and I can't help but notice how similar they look!! Love the lacy shadow on your front door, very cool, indeed!

    Your little guy is TOO cute!

    1. Actually the curtains are tablecloths I have used as curtains! Ikea is about 4 hours from me and I have not been able to visit it!

  3. What a sweet post, it's so nice to read positive words. I love the little boys response, children are so honest. Your tea cup is beautiful, it's nice to hold things that your children give you, isn't it.

  6. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such nice words. The curtain pattern the light shines on the door is so interesting. I love when things like that happen. An unexpected delight. Your rooster is fabulous. I'd have to have him out all the time. Love the pops of red around your home. So cheery. I'm your newest follower. Have a great week! ~ Nancy

  8. That's hilarious! But very true for many :) Love your bright coloured rooster - so cheery! And the intricate shadow design cast on your closet door. Those shades of blue green are my favourite- they remind me of the sea.
