The Small Things

We’re halfway through the holidays, and it’s been pretty good so far. I’ve got lots of reading done – always a good holiday option. The fact that I had to read a lot this week because I borrowed too many books during term and was running out of time to finish them before their due dates doesn’t really matter…

What are the small things I’ve enjoyed this week?
– Sitting with my books in unfamiliar places (by the pool, a park down the road) – the change of scene sparked new inspirations and thought processes.
Helping Sweet Bean with some difficulties, and seeing through that what a wonderful young man he’s growing into.
Watching a friend reach a milestone on the way to even greater things.
Finally seeing some rain falling – not enough to satisfy this dry earth, but hopefully there’s more coming.
Watching the small ones around us playing and running happily through the rain!
Unexpected blessings at perfect times 🙂
Old clothing once again made serviceable after mending.
Delicate flowers salvaged from the top of a delectable cheesecake…

What other small joys are in store for this week?

Montelupo Arts

A few weekends back I was out with some friends. Among other places, we ended up here..
You know sometimes, when you go to a place, you can get a sudden “vibe” from it, even if you don’t know why? I walked into this place and felt… happy. Joyous. Even bouyant…
It’s filled with visions.. with inspirations…
Colourful plates and mugs and teapots, for the everyday…
..and beautiful mosaic women, of varying sizes, dotted throughout the store…

You can have a cup of coffee, go outside to sit on the huge wooden butterfly seat, and admire the pottery butterflies in the trees..

Check out the gallery as well 😀

It’s a part of Multicap , and seems to be a collaboration of established artists and artists with disabilities – each artist shares the responsibilities of production, and learns and hones their craft as well…

I walked around the shop with a huge smile on my face, and a little bubble of joy just waiting to escape.. 😀

…and it’s good to remember that, whatever our trials and challenges, beauty can result… and can bless others.
