It's really the little things in life that make me excited! Such as these sweet, old-fashioned cannisters on my counter, that have been sitting 'naked' for months while I longed to label them in some cute way.
|
 |
| Today they got labeled! With "courier" font...my vintage fave right now. And with green polka dot paper. I just printed the labels, glued them to the paper, cut them apart, and used clear packing tape to attach them. |
 |
This sweet old jar came to me as a gift, bearing homemade granola. Too cute to put in a cupboard, it become my baking soda jar. So handy when baking.
|
 |
| This was a spice holder that got used up...now it also holds baking soda and is sooo handy for using as a mild abrasive on dishes or the counter top. The shake top under the lid is the key. |
 |
More little things...my herb garden grew more than the weeds while we were gone last week to a lake house family gathering. The smells of basil, dill, cilantro, and sage just make me want to eat fresh! Can't help but walk by and rub a few leaves with my fingers so I can smell those heady aromas.

 |
This little thing is a new Rosemary plant...on clearance for $1 at Walmart. Yay!
|
 |
My cinder block gardening is going great. Asters came up by seed as well as African Daisies, Morning Glories, and the Gladioli bulbs are 18 inches tall.
|
 |
The square foot garden is also producing well. Picked enough romaine lettuce to make salad for the neighborhood!
|
 |
Our first baby zucchini! I'm a happy Mama.
|
 |
My kitchen calendar page for June is a cottage by a lake...another fun little thing! We just spent 4 days at an amazing lake house with the whole Hayden clan in the month of June.
|
 |
I don't have a clothes line, but I can take my drying rack out into the sun. A happy 'little thing'.
|
 |
| And lastly, another sweet little thing...journals make me feel obligated to write too much, but this little Mary Englebreit daily planner gives me just a few lines to record the highlights of each day. I love having these little journals to look back at from the past 7 years. |

What little things are bringing fun, love, joy, happiness, and sunshine to your days? Did you see the quote at the top of my journal page for May 9-15? I love it.
"Life isn't a matter of milestones but of moments."
Blessings,
I don't even know where to start.... your jar labels are perfect!! So neat and tidy! your fresh laundry on the drying rack is darling! :) (I can almost smell them) Your calendar picture is perfect for June! Your plants all look so happy to live at your house! And I like you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the garden.. and funny.. I recently used a Sharpie to write script on my jars. You are SO right.. it is the little things that make a difference. I believe that when we can be happy with the little God can bless us with the greater things!
ReplyDeleteLove & Blessings
WOW.....Awesome post!!!!! You are so right it's the little things that mean the most. I just LOVE your jars and I to don't have a washline but take the drying rack out in the sun.
ReplyDeleteQuestion.....where did you ever find your Mary Englebreit daily planner? such a cute little thing.
Thank you girls! Your comments are one of my happy little things in life! Lindy, I have seen the planner at Sam's Club and at the big chain bookstores, but only before/after Christmas. Not sure if you'll find them anywhere in the summer.
