Hello Monday ... Hello Gratitude


 
I have been putting in more effort with my
Gratitude 
lately.

I have been starting my days with
Gratitude Lists 
for years now.

A personal ritual of 
morning coffee, goals and gratitudes
written down.




This last week
I have spent more time during my day
looking for 
Micro Moments of Beauty and Joy

And there are really so many
as I slow down enough to 
intentionally look.

When I find them 
I push them into my heart
and 
the more I collect
the happier and more hopeful I become.
Small moments like a beautiful sunrise
bringing the possibilities in a brand new day.





Literally shopping my closet
to put together a morning in the garden
loungewear set.
It makes me enjoy my mornings even more
because I get much happiness from wearing clothes I love.

This beautiful blue and white robe has been hanging in my closet
a couple of years unworn.
It is a sentimental souvenir from a fabulous hotel
Jeff and I stayed at in Austin Texas.

I paired it with a couple of pieces from Anthropologie 
and 
voila
more morning happiness
and
I had it all the time.

I just had to slow down enough 
to play in my own closets!




The morning light coming in
can just stop me in my tracks
with the beauty.








I use the same flowers throughout my living/ dining room area.
I love the visual continuity it provides.
I keep it simple with small vases in several places
that just drop into vignettes.
This week instead of flowers
I used trimmings from my dwarf olive tree.





On the dining table 
I used one single  olive branch to freshen my 
summer centerpiece.
I also added in a pair of my shell earrings
in a stone bowl
to round out the  tablescape vignette.





I also added dainty olive trimmings 
to my candle holder
that I have on wall shelves.





I also just dropped in a couple of 
summer art
to round out my 
Summer Blue and White Decor.




I really get a lot of use of

the front courtyard 

in the summer mornings
because it cool and shaded.





This week I have been refining my 
Sea Glass Designs
for my upcoming
Collection

I love all of my designs so much
I end up in overwhelm
more often than not.
So I am trying a new process
of refining each part of 
My Collection
one concept at a time.
Fingers crossed this helps my creative blocks.





I combined our getting our miles in
with a 
Design Photo Shoot
at the beach this weekend.

It was  a surprisingly foggy morning
which ended up to be
magical lighting!







Well that concludes this week's 
Hello Monday ... Hello Gratitude.

I will happily be working in my studio this new week!
I feel like I am beginning to have some clarity
on getting my website closer to a launch date.

Thank you so much for visiting here!
I would love to hear what 
you are 
Grateful For
this week!



As always my friends

I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
