Small pleasures

A morning shaft of sunlight in our bedroom (something of a rarity in these grey November days). The simple delight small boys take in the antics of a naughty shadow-bird.



Preparing some jars of Vanilla Sugar for friends.

A timely reminder to notice the little things.

We got some sun yesterday too, it was so wonderful, like someone had taken away the wet grey blanket that has covered us for such a long time now. Today it's been all rainy again. Sigh. That vanilla sugar looks so nice!

Thanks for reminding me, I am going to make a little "hamper" of homemade goodies for my dad for Christmas and vanilla sugar was one of the things I am putting in.

Lovely post :) It's so special when we notice the little things but all too easy to get bogged down with day to day worries. I hope it's sunny tomorrow - I need to play with shadows.
Lovely link too, thank you for sharing,
love Lesley xxx

I'm back from vacation and am trying to catch up on my reading my favorite blogs. The shadow images make for a great photo and I love the idea of the vanilla sugar--so yummy.

I hope things are improving with Mark and school.

Love the vanilla sugar & simple pleasures is just right for this season of the year!
Has Mark kicked off yet? I so understand the 'nativity practises drive him wild' idea.... I watched a few kids get totally frustrated, especially if they weren't anything major. We used to do mains only and additionals, and only for a two week space before the concert. I always reckoned if it all went A over T that was part of the fun. (ask me about the bouncing balls sometime, it will crack you up!)
