A LITTLE GRATITUDE

Blessings

Some of life’s best gifts are the ordinary things we might otherwise overlook.

SUMMER GATHERINGS

Summer Gatherings

Wildflowers gathered from the garden, arranged in a favorite pitcher, and illuminated by afternoon light. A reminder that some of life's most beautiful moments are also the simplest.

Simple Comforts

Soft light, a favorite spot, and the calming beauty of lavender. Sometimes the simplest things bring the greatest peace.

A LITTLE LOVE, LEFT BEHIND

A Little Love, Left Behind

I found this little paper heart lying on the ground one day. I don't know who made it or who it was meant for, but I picked it up and kept it. Sometimes the smallest things find us at exactly the right moment.

DERBY DAY

Derby Day

Roses, beautiful hats, creatively beautiful outfits, magnificent horses, and traditions passed from one generation to the next. There is something about Derby that belongs to Louisville in a way that is hard to explain. Maybe that is part of what I love about it. For one brief weekend, everything feels just a little more colorful, a little more beautiful, and unmistakably Kentucky.
