Wishes for a Weekend Getaway

OK Corinne... even if you are my only reader, I will keep posting!

I received my new issue of Victoria Magazine (my magazine obsession will have to be a separate, future post) and featured in it was MaryJane's Farm, and Bed and Breakfast. This is no ordinary B&B however... this was a perfect summer, roughing it... but not really roughing... B&B. I think it would be a perfect place to go, and do nothing but lounge about in the warm, summer breeze. It's only over in Idaho... so, hubby of mine... if your reading this...pay close attention. On top of it all... she has a shop with the most glorious, organic linens! Yum!

How would you like to relax here a few days?

Little Life Pleasure #256

Now... sometimes I will buy flowers for the kitchen, or dining room... maybe even an orchid for the living room.... but life is extra sweet, when you even have flowers in the bathroom. I mean, let's really think about this, how much time is spent in the bathroom? Plenty! So why not have something pretty to look at while you spend some quality time in one of the homes most utilized, but under-decorated parts of the home?

A Good Reminder!

Oh dear readers, please spare yourselves the potential heartache and credit card debt that may ensue at the Issaquah shop, Urbanity. I made the mistake of going in to find a gift for a friend... and found mostly things for myself. I may have to take darling hubby with me next time, so I can explain exactly why we need so many of the things in her shop.

This plaque, however, spoke to me and I could not turn my back on it. It's message was a powerful reminder to me as to just what is really important in life. I hung it by my bathroom mirror, so every morning and every night I can read it and remember.... and the fact that it goes so perfectly with my black and white bedroom/bathroom doesn't hurt things. I added some ribbon (slight ribbon obsession here) and viola!

The message reads:

To laugh often, to win

the affection of children,

to earn the appreciation of

honest critics and endure

the betrayal of false friends,

to appreciate beauty, to

find the best in others, to

leave the world a bit better, whether

by a healthy child, a garden patch...

to know even one life

has breathed easier because

you have lived.

This is to have succeeded!
