simple pleasures no. 4 - hidden treasure




I love finding hidden treasures - little notes in books, old papers or long-discarded toys.  These are things which speak of the exquisite beauty to be disovered amongst the ostensibly mundane lives we lead. 

Here are just a few examples of some of the finds I now display proudly in my study.  A letter-heading from a tiling company stuffed deep into the crevices of an old set of drawers owned by my mother.  A 'Magic Roundabout' car left behind in the loft of a house we had just moved into. A card in the pocket of a gorgeous leather Gladstone bag I still own.

Simple pleasures - but what beauty!!

playtime



Roscoe is an absolutely delightful puppy and he's settled in so well to the family. We shall ignore his little 'gardening exploits' for the moment - it's time to play with his favourite toy!
