Good morning!
It's a very crisp morning here at the lakehouse.
The furnace is running, and we have a fire going.
Hubby just made a nice breakfast to enjoy as we sit at the table enjoying the start to our day.
So I got out of bed, came downstairs, and started really looking at the things around me.
The time it took to make the lovely pieces, the talent, the labor of love....it just touched my soul.
I wanted to share some things that bring joy to my heart this morning.....
I am thankful that someone took their time and talent to make something that gives visual enjoyment. Then the thankfulness starts to snowball....for sight, family, jobs, etc.
Enjoy something beautiful today...and Thank God.
Blessings.
Debbie

Very well put. I love the little details in pieces. They make all the difference sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love all the detail in your home, and much of it is your own decorating and nurturing qualities!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you started your day!

Another wonderful thing to be thankful for today and very well put too. Gifts of work like that adds a lot to our everyday lives.
ReplyDeleteI have often looked at things and wondered about the hands that had made them. Especially older pieces that where old enough that the person who had done them were certainly gone now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see things like this, I see their love.
No matter what our talent is, there will be something left of us here after we are gone.
What will each of us choose to leave behind?
Hugs- Tete
Great start to the day Debbie! Your home has some very lovely details.

I love old details. One time I think they thought I would rob the bank, I was just in awe of the mouldings and the architectural details. Wish they'd make stuff like that still...Without it costing an arm and a leg, lol!
ReplyDeletebeautiful details and beautiful objects. I agree, they are just things, but they make us happy!

PS Did the bacon taste as good as it smelled. Oh my, now I want some!
Beautiful photos. All the little attention to details is why I love older homes. When we sold my Mother's house I went around and took all sorts of photos of doorknobs, moldings and light fixtures.
