Starting the week with a clean kitchen.
A new tealight holder from my favorite artist.
Have a wonderful Monday!
"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
— L.M. Montgomery
Love seeing your gleaming counter tops and the little candle. I have Tyler Candle, Ira Jean, burning in my living room. It cozies up a dreary day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start a Monday morning. I love a clean kitchen!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to start a week..I love the quote..

I love that artist as well. She is becoming one of my favorites! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognized that quote - it's from Anne of Avonlea. :) The rest of it says, "...following one another softly, like pearls off a string."
Happy Monday!
What a beautiful quote! I'm in the middle of cleaning out my fridge, so my countertops look nothing like yours. I'm working on it, though!
ReplyDeleteI love it when everything is neat and clean - I think better. :)

ReplyDeletePlease let me know,
I love the magazine...

ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful kitchen. Waking up to a clean kitchen, especially the sink, is a wonderful way to start the day.

What a lovely kitchen - makes you wanta cook, doesn't it? I'm trying to get there - mine's a mess.
ReplyDeleteGuess I had better stop by Hallmark and see if they have that tea light holder.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a column in Country Living magazine that I loved called, Simple Country Pleasures. The author passed away and I missed reading it so much.
Sometimes we need to just do what you did, look around us at the things that bring us pleasure. I cleaned up a little before I left home and know it will make me feel good when I get back to see everything neat and tidy.

Hi Kelli, One of my favorite "Simple Pleasures" is visiting you almost every day. Your photos today were so soothing.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday I bought a Yankee Candle.....Vanilla Lime. I got one for my DIL too. I know you bought the same one awhile back. It does smell yummy.
Have a wonderful week full of "simple pleasures".
Love, Debbi
I love a clean kitchen, and your's looks great! I was able to at least start the dishwasher this morning. My kitchen is far behind, but I can't spend much time on my feet to clean.

ReplyDeleteI like all the greenery in your window. Pretty!

Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteHaving a clean kitchen, house, car, etc. is always a blessing. We have so much to appreciate all around us.
Have a great day!

I hope you're enjoying your summer!
HI Kelli,
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures are indeed the best...a clean kitchen, a nicely scented candle, a bird at the feeder...all simple pleasures that in today's economy hardly cost a thing, but bring great joy...
Enjoy your simple pleasures Kelli..you deserve them.
Blessinga,
