The Little Things!

Yay! We're finally experiencing warmer weather in Michigan and I am just about as happy as happy can be. Yesterday I even made it out into the yard to get started on another flower bed. Hopefully, I'll be finished with that by next week, but that's another post for another day. Today I want to talk about the little things because...little things make me happy. I've started adding more pictures/wall décor in some of the bare areas of my home,, and when I tell you that I'm excited, that is really an understatement.

If you follow my blog, I'm sure you remember these wall sconces from a thrifting trip a while back. If my memory serves me correctly, I got the set for under five bucks. I fell in love with the old timey feel and couldn't wait to get them up. I first put them on the sides of my dresser, but decided to move them into the hallway for more lighting. This little guy is right outside my bedroom door.

This is the 1st picture of what I hope to be a gallery wall in my bathroom. I mainly opt to hang pictures of  family or photos of places that I love( like these shot by me at the Belle Isle Conservatory). Because art is so expansive and I loves o many different kinds, it can be somewhat hard for me to settle on a piece. Add in the fact that I would like for it to match my décor, and it could take years before I find some artwork to settle on. Pictures of loved ones and beloved places never go out of style. I also like to wow myself with my handy work #vain ;-)

Dug these three out of hiding. These wooden pieces blend so well with my bedroom set, it's almost as if they're a part of it.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good pic, but this mirror is 1 of a 4 piece set hanging above my dresser. Shout out to the hubby for so graciously hanging them up for me before church Sunday. Mauh!

This just came in yesterday. It's a FREE wall art piece (collage) from Shutterfly. The wall art is usually $24.99 so free is more than a steal. I'll be getting a frame and setting this out real soon :)
 
And last but not least, I also bought myself some flowers to put a little smile on my face. My husband usually buys me flowers, but, can't spend all day waiting on a man ladies :-P I wanted some flowers NOW.
These guys were only $4.88 at Wal-mart. There's nothing like fresh flowers to give a space a little pick me up, and it doesn't have to be extravagant either.
2nd day Tulips...whomp!
 
And before I go, here's a picture to prove that I've been working HARD in the yard:
I don't even want to think about how difficult it was to make this bed...certainly isn't as easy as it looks.
 
Well, that's that--the little things that made me smile this week. 1. Hanging up décor 2. A free collage 3. My droopy Tulips and 4. Proudly digging my own flower bed.
 
What kinds of things made you smile this week? Until the next time guys, XO!

  2. MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS PLATEAU Extending from Umm Qays (also Qais) at one of the country’s northernmost points to the town of Ras-an-Naqab to the south, Air Jordan Shoes, the Mountain Heights Plateau is a terrain of rugged mountains and highlands that separate western Jordan from the arid deserts of the Badia region. The north receives the highest levels of rainfall. As such, it is a region of often fast-flowing rivers that provide water for irrigation.

    The rivers of Wadi Musa, Wadi Hassa, Wadi Zarqa and the great Wadi Mujib all flow through this part of the plateau region. Vast areas of fertile land ripe for agriculture lie either side of the wadis, and because they yield crops for consumption they have attracted habitation for millennia. Retro Jordans, Amman and the major settlement areas of Karak, Irbid, Madaba and Zarqa are located in this part of the Mountain Heights Plateau region. Here, too, can be found the remains of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Jerash to the north of Amman, and the Nabatean city of Petra in the south, suggesting the area has been populated and provided sustenance for the people since the times of antiquity.

    'Ihe southern areas of the plateau, south of the northern highlands, are characterised by a mix of steppes lying at different elevations. While the lower steppes around Madaba receive rainfall and, in turn, Cheap Jordan Shoes, are blanketed with lush vegetation, the higher and southernmost steppes towards Ras an-Naqab are, in contrast, more barren. Little greenery interrupts the rugged mountains in shades ranging from gold to the warmest oranges and reds, and at times sliced by the green-grey of granite.
