10 Good Things Right Now

A sleepy kitty, hanging on the back of his favourite chair.

Winter sunshine.

Finishing a second handmade frock (with kittens on it!)

Cherry blossom scented candles.

Games of tug of war with Daisy at the park.

Cake for breakfast.

Cardigans.

Old cake books and a vintage sifter, found at the flea market.

Buckets of popcorn at the movies.

Lazy Sundays with friends.

What’s on your happy list right now? We’d love it if you’d share it with us!

    Your posts just make me feel all warm and fuzzy as if I was doing all the “ten good things” myself :) what movie did u go see? & also…love crazy places pets fall asleep!! our dog thinks he has to be on guard 24/7 so we rarely catch him with his eyes shut for more than a teensy bit

      I went to see the new Batman movie with a friend (I couldn’t convince Katie to come!) It was awesome :)

    Your kitty hanging off your couch is adorable and so is your cute handmade dress! Looks like happy times :)

    Oh my gosh, your cat draped over the chair is too cute. One of my puppies can fall asleep sitting up. He wedges himself into a corner and then his eyelids just go droopy and he does the sleepy head bob. So freakin’ cute! Gotta love sleepy furry babies :)

      Ha! That is so cute! Our Daisy dog has an obsession with sleeping behind our backs. When we are sitting on the couch the moment we lean forward for a drink or something she jams herself between us and the back of the chair. It’s very strange and rather uncomfortable! But what would we do without them? <3

      Thank you! I have two lovely old sifters now. They are so much prettier than anything made today :)

    I love it when my cat hangs over the chair like that! Isn’t it just fun when they are sleeping? They make really adorable blog pictures! Another great post. I really enjoy reading about your lives!

      Thank you so much Whitney! I always think cats look like miniature lions lazing in tree when they sleep like that! x

    Your kitten frock is beyond adorable! Will you be sharing pics of yourself taking it out for a spin?

      A wonderful list John. Thank you for sharing! <3

    I have a sifter in that style. My mum had one and the handle was broken on it so we used to sift by just wiggling the blade back and forth. To this day, I can’t use the handle on mine! The habit is too deeply ingrained.

      Oh, I love that Julie! Isn’t it funny how these little things stay with us?
