a taste of summer to see you through the year.

Small things that brought me joy this week gone by

My Week Of Happy

do we need more time to feel successful?

The measure of success

learning that it's ok to dream big, or even medium sized.

Dare to dream

Why it's ok to indulge your creativity and not feel guilty

Creativity

a mid year pause, slow down and enjoy the roses

The beautiful month of June

Finally I found a way to answer the question "and what do you do?"

Don't forget to shut the door as you leave

Be on your way Winter

  • Where you a hockey player? . In my opinion the best thing about being forced out on to a hockey pitch on a freezing Saturday morning, was the half time oranges. Segments noisily slurped in a huddle of camaraderie. . I also really liked my hockey socks. Thick woollen socks with a jaunty striped cuff. . . . . #littlestories #ofsimplematters #findinglight #the_gentle_manifesto #simplicityinstilllife #thestilllifecollective #ofsimplemood #simplebeautyseeker #simpleauthenticbeautiful #inpraiseofshadows #moodytones #gothictonic #itsallaboutthelight #everydayelegance #wholeheartedliving #capturequiet
  • I can’t tell you how often I scroll through IG on a Monday morning and think dang it! I missed the weekend hashtag again. I often look it up at the start of the weekend and then, of course, forget all about it. . But #whpnaturallight stuck in my head. Because I think light might be my fuel, my driving force, my nourishment. It’s always there if you look hard enough, ready to light up your heart on the darkest of days. . . . . . #thewildnesstonic #aprettyishkindof_wilderness #whimsicalwonderfulwild #quietinthewild #goldenhourlove #capturethelight #awakethelight #itsallaboutthelight #moodybynature #simpleauthenticbeautiful #thatvelvetfeeling
  • Oh coffee table books how I love you with your beautiful covers and pages filled with white space amongst the pictures. . I’ve written up this week’s happy things over on the blog. I’m on the verge of overwhelm right now so it felt really good to pause and reflect. What small things are making you happy this week? . . . . . #booksandflowers #pilesofbooks #coffeetablebooks #sweetsimplehome #ofsimplematters #tinytinymoments #pocketsofslow #myquietbeauty #smallpauses #ofsimplemood #styleonstillness #simplicityinstilllife #athoughtfulpause
  • I’m a recipe tweaker. I read the recipe and then I read five more and then I mix and match 😂. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. . This Earl Grey Cake was a birthday request and a definite success. I’m rather proud if it and hopefully it makes up for my usual yearly advent fail. . . . . . . #eatprettythings #gatherandfeast #thesincerestoryteller #the_gentle_manifesto #folkandstory #beautyofstillmoments #slowliving_create #ofsimplematters #cakesandflowers #nakedcakelovers
  • Vitamin Tree. What is your preference, woodland or open fields? . I sometimes find the mossy, secrecy of the woods a little claustrophobic and my heart soars when I step out of the woodland to stand on the edge of a wide open horizon. . However right now, the fields are stark and I’m drawn to the woods. The trees stand tall and wise, ready to face the storms ahead, steadfast and calm. . . . . . #everydayelegance #seeksimple #noticethelittlethings #poetryofsimplethings #slowsimpleseasonal #beautifulseason #thiswintermoment #heiterwinter #simplebeautyseeker #myseasonalstory #aprettyishkindof_wilderness #thewildnesstonic #whimsicalwonderfulwild #mynaturestory #moodybynature #gothictonic #inpraiseofshadows
