as i sit here in a house built in 1903, i look around and see many of these things on my list…..i think in life you should surround yourself with your favorite things:) these are some of the things in my life that i embrace and love. some of which i possess, others of which i would love to possess! to me, most of the things on my list speak to a much simpler time…. i always thought i should have been born in a previous era! i am happiest when the things surrounding me are simple, it seems i am always compelled to search for things that call be back to a simpler time. these are a few of my favorite things!!! enjoy!!! simple, simple, simple!!!
