"Life is not, for most of us, a pageant of splendor, but is made up of many small things, rather like an old fashioned piecework quilt. No two people have the same, but we all have our own, whether it be listening to Beethoven's fifth with a beloved friend, or seeing a neighbor at the back door with a basket of white dahlias. Or after a long, hard day, having the family say, "That was a good supper."

In no particular order, here are six small things that brought me joy this week.
I happened upon this blog recently and spent some time perusing it. Such a cozy place to visit! I particularly liked her recipes for Three Ingredient Red Velvet Cookies and Easy Red Velvet Cupcakes. Red Velvet is my daughter's favorite and I'm thinking of trying out one of these for Valentine's Day.
I started following Kate Eastwood Instagram account over Christmas. She makes the most adorable crocheted items. I'm inspired!
I've loved old churches and cathedrals for so long now. I have it in my mind to visit a few in our area this year, from small country churches to stone cathedrals, they beckon. While researching to plan a few visits, I came across this website. I haven't had time to take a tour yet, but I bookmarked it to visit again!
Might have to consider these for Valentine's Day, too, or maybe next weekend! :)
The number of birds in our yard recently has been almost beyond belief! Like a little bird sanctuary. I've been perusing my Pinterest board dedicated to birds the past few days. I might try to make up a couple of treats for them!
I'll finally be getting around to taking down the last of the Christmas decorations this week, which always leaves the house feeling a bit bare. I found several of the ideas in this article helpful, and was happy to see her suggestion of "A Sunset Ritual". We've been doing this for years now, though I've never named it.
