"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 inspired me this week.
Did you happen to see the beautiful ice chapel some students built at Notre Dame? They even held mass and thousands attended! So beautiful!
I listened to this as I packed away Christmas decorations this week.

Cozy ambient music and calming visuals from a quiet forest cottage.
I discovered another one of these lovely channels this week. I've been choosing one to listen to each night as I go to bed, so relaxing, but they are beautiful to watch, too!
From the author of A House Without A Christmas Tree is another installment following the life of Addie Mills. I first watched The House Without A Christmas Tree on television way back in 1976, but did not discover that there were four other movies until last year. Addie and the King of Hearts is perfect for February.
Scrolling through Pinterest last night when I came across this. I had already thought that I would love to dress like Miss Marple, and now here's the inspiration! More inspiration if you scroll down the page, and even a few book recommendations I've added to my "I will never be able to read all of these books in my lifetime!" list
- The Bell Family - Noel Streatfield
- The Bounces of Cynthiann' - Evelyn Sibley Lampman
- Winter Cottage - Carol Ryrie Brink - A personal favorite, I need to read it again!

"I simply refuse to underestimate the power of a peaceful home."
Yes indeed!
Have a blessed weekend, my friends!
