Simple pleasures.
Simple peace.
Simple peace.
Sunlit windows.
Soft retreat.
It's nothing glamorous - just an old table and chairs.
But I love it when I can find some pretty tulips to dress it all up.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish artist and designer. I have family in Wales, who are lucky enough to live in a house that was designed by him. It sports a beautiful window with a stained glass flower looking out over their staircase. Oh, his work is magnificent. My cousins gave me a dainty metal vase with a Mackintosh design, which I love to place sweet flowers.
It brings joy and a moment of calm to the day!
It is so crucial that we as Mothers find this in our home and how delighted your family must be to see those petals.
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot about Charles R.M. when I worked on an illustration for a client who lives there. The Rose is in many of his designs.
Enjoy your simple pleasures and find peace in your day.

I bet this lovely table has had many friends and family around her, sharing secrets, laughters and tears. I so love how you dress her up with beautiful flowers. xo
ReplyDeleteFlowers bring life to a room. I've never been able to manage plants that require daily maintenance, but a colorful arrangement can transform an otherwise drab space. Love your flowers.
