* handmade gifts from kids
with carefully printed messages attached

with Zoe who created these oversized (& fragrant!) blooms

* teachers who are so good at what they do,
you become a better parent because of it

Feel the love ~ here's a slideshow of image of their recent retirement party.

* flush surfaces, strong lines
and wide open spaces
(the latter esp. rare in my world)

* a wee bit of whimsy in the everyday:
playful colors, repeating patterns,
happy combos

* rock paths, warm days
and the way a window shapes the sunbeam
that shines in at a slant
across a wooden floor

Be Happy!
