// Coming Up Roses {in Sweet Little Moments}

{my welcome to fall after 7 "ahhh" moment, (daytime too! from the inner-lid :)) with working behind the scenes: Humble Bee's Rose and Sandalwood wood planter candle; pure exotic oils, and hand poured with love right here in Toronto; #bliss; thanks Natalie!}

 

We treasure our coming-up-roses days, hours, and even minutes these days. They have a much deeper meaning and special-ness to them and we are grateful for all the love that surrounds us each and every day in so many varied ways. More relaxing moments that elevated our days and evenings this month after the jump. Have a smooth and peaceful week. ~x

// Sweet Little Pleasures in Threes

{plush market strawberries (or any berry) washed and trimmed, sprinkled with half a cup of super fine sugar and left covered with plastic wrap on the counter for six hours; tossed gently, then placed in the refrigerator for a chilled dessert topping as is, or with...#you-get-to-choose :)}

 

Three little things I've been enjoying and soothing my soul with in recent times. Nothing over the top (as always), and all things nature connected (of course). Plus, I really wanted to share this new-to-me mellow track (below) which was streaming in the background recently while doing some light closet spring cleaning one afternoon. I had to learn more...

Keeping things on the softer side with a few recent loved reads and finds from around the web... Happy Friday! everyone. We made it through another sheltering-in-place week with all sorts of on the homefront thingamajigs. This weekend I'm looking forward to enjoying the sun in our backyard (fingers crossed for some warmth), and another round of these with a new-to-me dark decadence. 'Really excited to go there. Continued thanks to our dedicated Doctors, Nurses, Medical Teams, Frontline Grocery and Transportation Teams for getting us through these days.

// Have a Cozy Weekend.

{at-home downtime frequents these days, now including Sausalitos and more Goldfish}

 

Saturday, just after 1 p.m. (we are a weekend sleep-in family), the phone rings - it's my sister Jan, and things go like this:

 

Me: Hello. (in a whisper voice)

Jan: Hey Sue, 'whatcha doing?

Me: Hey, good morning!; playing around with the blog for a few.

Jan: Oh, ok... is that chips? (she did hear a crunch) :)

Me: Ya, my favs. :)

Jan: Hmmm, have you cut the bag as yet Sue?

!Both of us now laughing out loud!

Me: Yeah, hahaha, I did. LOL... ; so what has you home at this hour? You're usually somewhere around 'Magnolia Street'?... :)
