Here's what makes me happy -
* Beautiful vintage china. I have some of my Grandma's cup, saucers and plates. My Grandpa used to play lawn bowls and was very good at it. When he won, quite often his prize was a cup, saucer and plate set. Many of them are well known brands and I treasure them. I also love to use them on the odd occasion.
* When Darren cuts a rose from our garden for my bedside table. The fragrance is beautiful and it's the last thing I smell before I go to sleep and the first thing when I wake up. I also love to stop and smell the roses in the garden.
* I love the color apple green. It's a happy, fresh color and if I see homewares in apple green, it always puts a smile on my face and warms me up inside. I have towels, tea towels, ramekns, table cloths, clothes and a handbag in apple green. I was attending a Cheapskates workshop a few months ago and was wearing my apple green coat. One lady there commented on my coat and showed me her price book. It was apple green too. I then picked up my apple green handbag to show her and we all had a laugh over our apple green accessories.

What makes you happy ?
Wendy, your china is beautiful. Love your apple green accessories, I love the colour pillar box red, and I have a few items in that colour. Some of the things that make me happy are some very old family photos, of grandparents etc (some 100 years old). Sitting in my little courtyard, with a cuppa surrounded by the flowering garden, in silence. Trying new recipes on a quiet afternoon.

Hi Wendy, i'm in awe of your vintage china sets, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me happy is:
1. Clean sheets when you hop into them on the first night
2. Receiving hugs from my children no matter how old they are
3. My Mum remembering me when i visit her as she has Dementia
Blessings to all, Maureen
