Simple - Part Two

Another beautiful day.  Seems like summer has finally appeared - better late than never.

During our  wet damp Spring I had visions of spending summer days sitting on the deck in the sun, reading, relaxing etc.  I even positioned the birdhouse so I could see it while I was on the deck.   Just a simple thing, but I had a relaxing summer plan.

Well, we all know how that worked out.  I supposed I could have sat out alot this summer under a tarp to stay dry! 

This morning was perfect - just as I had imagined.  So without wasting any time............

I enjoyed a couple of morning cups of coffee and finished reading The Secret Life of Bees.  I enjoyed it and just downloaded One Day by David Nicholls.

Because some of the things I bought yesterday are gifts I am not going to show them here but I do want to show you the simple touches that the owner of Sweet Briar Boutique uses to decorate her packages.

She uses old magazines and catalogs to create bows to decorate a simple brown paper shopping bag.

So cute and so simple.  She also uses magazine pages to wrap small pieces like jewellry.  Add a few cute decorated clothes pins and look how cute her packages are......

Just a little simple can make a big difference.   We all need more simple.
