I
sometimes forget how much happiness simple pleasures bring into my life. The other day, I found myself
scrambling at noon when I realized I did not have much of anything to put
together for lunch. My 5 yr old is not
particularly picky but I knew an expired yogurt tube, dried out carrot sticks,
and a ball of mozzarella wasn’t going to cut it. Then I realized, with much glee, that lunch
was waiting for us in the backyard. We
dashed out to the veggie garden and picked a crispy green pepper, an heirloom
tomato, and snipped some basil. Paired
with simple ingredients, including that ball of mozz, we
enjoyed a veritable feast, all the more fulfilling because we had a hand in
bringing it to our table. What a great and simple pleasure.
And how
about pairing deeply discounted grocery orchids with a gorgeous
blue and white bowl that my mother gifted to me knowing of my deep and abiding
love of Chinoiserie? How gorgeoso is this bowl?! She purchased it from her
designer in 1974 for a pretty penny. What a great and simple pleasure to
now have this treasure in my home.
For up to date peaks into life chez V and more of our simple pleasures, I blow up InstaG on the regular here. Follow me or be square.
What are your simple pleasures?
