silver little lovelies

She belonged to a friend's faithful grandma

The winter light
is naturally beautiful
today so no edits
were needed for photos
I snapped of these little lovelies.

all of them were free or picked up for pennies!
yet they live large in my dining room hutch.

I'm reminded today of
one of my sister's
favorite phrases:

Happiness is not having
what you want,
it's wanting what you have.


something sparkly, something holy, something mysterious

The paper cutting
is a memory.
Not an art project
but a sweet accident
created by a son.





antique rosaries

Too precious to hide away.


lovely fleur de lis


flatware probably scored in a 'free' box at a tag sale rest inside an old English crock


we wear them!

I'm loving photography today
have a lovely week!
