"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Open The Blinds

It was a whirlwind of a day....and I'm grateful for all the meaningful interactions with family and friends...and the tasks and chores I checked off my list.  I'm putting my feet up....taking a deep breath....and sharing one little joy nugget that landed in my day.

During a text conversation with my art buddies from Madison...Tracie shared that when she opened her blinds this morning this little work of ice art was on her window.  

It's beyond fabulous....and a good reminder of the simple beauty that is out there just waiting to be seen.  And sometimes...all you have to to is open your blinds.

And another thing I love about the photo is that Madison's Orton Park in the background....where Angie's tree is planted. 

JOY!

    Curtains in blue can add a serene and calming effect to any space. Blue is a versatile color that can complement a wide range of interior styles, from contemporary to traditional. Whether you prefer a deep navy for a dramatic touch or a soft sky blue for a lighter feel, blue curtains can make a significant impact on the ambiance of a room. They can be paired with different textures and patterns to create a cohesive look, making them a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.
