words i am pondering today



Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.--Desmond Tutu

speaking of free stuff and fun stuff. . .


Several of the blogs I read are having giveaways this week, but these two made me smile, so of course I am sharing them with you!

The first is over at Walk Slowly, Live Wildly, where you can win one of two works of art, by the artist featured above, one for your wall, one for your neck! I just love the colors the artist uses in her work, and when I realized she incorporates bits of her faith into her art, well, that turns beauty into blessing.

The second is over at Paisley and Lace, where my friend Tina is offering a chance to win one of two absolutely adorable aprons she made out of vintage fabric. Just look at one of them:


A cup of strong black tea with milk and a bit of something sweet.
A really good, old book borrowed from a really good, not so old friend (I'm reading I Capture the Castle, Rosa!)
A handmade apron of vintage fabric.

These are a few of my favorite things.

  1. I'm glad I Capture the Castle has captured you. When I was geeking out on JK Rowlins's website, she mentions some of her favorite books, and this one is prominently displayed! I agree, the book is better (isn't that usually the case?) It sure is with Dodie Smith's other great work, 101 Dalmatians! Thanks for loaning it to me! And yes, that is a delicious little apron!
