king of the castle & other simple things

044_.jpg

hanging out with my sweetheart: playing king of the castle, enjoying orange spice tea with honey on cold, wet, afternoons

candlelit mornings:  starting cold, dark, days with a warm heart

girls night out: a friend’s brilliant idea/invitation to a bookbinding workshop evening

the weekends: staying in bed late playing and talking with my boys, i love late, slow, breakfasts with fresh bread from the bakery, i love not rushing to get the them out of the house

being let in on happy secrets: knowing plan details to a marriage proposal :)

~ these are just some of the simple things that have made me smile/happy this week ~

    What a sweet, sweet list. And what a happy find for me today, to come across your blog. Where in Germany do you live? My mother is from northern Germany. Such a gorgeous country, isn’t it?

    What a winning king you have there too ;-) I’d love to play King of the Castle - that’s one board game I don’t think I’ve ever played.
    So many simply wonderful things to enjoy - thank you for sharing them! xo
