Sunflowers always make me smile.
Spring is showing itself here in Alabama 
With warm days of around 80f 
Warm breezes
Snow Drops and Iris plants reaching up to the sun 
Tulip Trees in full bloom lining the roadsides with big fluffy clouds of pink 
I begin to unwrap my cocoon and let myself enjoy the longer sunnier days 
Knowing that Winter will rear it's ugly head at least just once before it's safe to plant items in the garden
At Maisonvogue

Happy Days to you 

Janet

Another one from Maisonvogue's Archive this one is from March 2015 ...Happy Saturday

Hi...Having a working lunch today as the day has gone by so quickly ..Lots of orders to complete 

And lots of new designs to work on 

How do you have lunch ???   I believe that living well doesn't have to mean buying expensive items I think it's more to do with how you make the most of your day and how you treat yourself 

My day is always very busy but I always take just a few minutes aside and treat myself, several times a day 

I always eat well and am very aware of what I put in my body ...lunch today was quick and easily made with eggs, some fresh vegetables and some left overs 

I had cooked broccoli from yesterday along with a few black beans ..added some cherry tomato halves and a few bites of left over salmon ...used non stick spray and warmed it all up then just added two eggs that I whisked with a tiny amount of milk ...soon cooked up in no time ...add some freshly washed strawberries ...all washed down with some Sparkling San Pelligrino water and a dash of orange juice ...make the perfect no fuss lunch 

Of course don't forget to serve it up in a pretty tray with lovely linen napkins and a pretty plate 

Non of it expensive ..everything on my tray today except the silverware (cutlery) is from the thrift store, glass, tray, plate and linens ....always look at the fabric section of the thrift store and you will find many, many sets of discarded linen napkins ...all of mine are high quality from the Pottery Barn or Pier1 imports .cost me cent's instead of many dollars ...most totally unused still with the tags on ..just launder them and you have high quality treasures to keep forever 

Treat yourself well

They have now been picked up by my mail carrier 

And will soon be in the hands of my customers 

All gift wrapped and I popped in some gift tags of 

The design on their pillows ...I enjoyed making them

And wrapping them and I hope my customers 

Will enjoy receiving a special parcel in the 

Bright Pink Packages  ..

The Peter Rabbit one is

Heading to Belgium !!

If you are eating in your office ...make lunch a little moment to enjoy 

Pop a real linen napkin in your bag ..

And a lovely treat to make you smile
