Joining Ann today
Counting blessings
"These I have loved:
White plates and cups, clean-gleaming,
Ringed with blue lines; and feathery, faery dust;
Wet roofs, beneath the lamplight; the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and many-tasting food;
Rainbows; and the blue bitter smoke of wood."
Rupert Brooke

Beautiful. Thank you :)
The last of the summer dahlias are beautiful!
I always enjoy the quotes, poems, words of wit and wisdom at the beginning of your lists! 232 and 237 look delicious! Here's to Home, Hearth and Hospitality, may your week be blessed as well, thanks Jodi!
Beautiful, beautiful. Making me smile in the midst of a difficult day.
Loving that poem. Loving. And Andrew Wyeth. And paisley. And crimson dahlias in blue and white china. And lanterns (I have two EXACTLY like yours sitting atop my oak armoir.)
And I am comforted and uplifted in the knowledge that you are praying for me. And thankful.
this was beautiful - my fav line was...Ringed with blue lines; and feathery, faery dust
we should faery dust our days a lot more...
your "beauty," it got me. and how you encourage. glad to be here today...
"Content" is an underrated word. Love your photos and hope they do bring you true contentment. Love the dahlias. Sigh.
love your photos jodi..esp the paua shell and quilt. ps. thank you for sharing the love in grits story ! :) xoxo
I loved seeing the river photo, light on the water, as well as the paua shell.
Lovely post and photos! I have the same blue pitcher you do, and an abalone shell. I miss the smell of leaves burning in the fall. This was always a part of my childhood, but it's better for global warming not to do this, I think.
I love that poem, too. Those are all things I could love as well (and do: blue and white china? Oh, my!)
Jodi, what a beautiful home you must make. Such beauty in such simple things. Thank you for noticing and reminding me to look.
Kim, thank you very much. Most everything in our home has been thrift shopped, flea marketed, or dare I say, trash picked. Not ashamed, heehee. It's fun. Beauty from the discarded.
Thanks everyone for sharing. Your thoughts are always welcome.
I love the Brooke...thank you :0)
Oh beautiful list, as always. I LOVE that Wyeth painting. Love it. On our vacation to Maine this summer we got to go to a whole museum dedicated to the Wyeths...I think you would have loved it.
you share peace.
it is a gift
and it blessed me . thank you Jodi, thank you
You have aroused my creativity and appetite
Nice to meet you, SY.
This is refreshing, wonderful, beautiful...and things I would never have thought to see. Thank you.
