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."

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.
What a great way to start a Monday morning. I love a clean kitchen!
A wonderful way to start a week..I love the quote..

I love that artist as well. She is becoming one of my favorites! :)
I 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!
I love it when everything is neat and clean - I think better. :)

HELLO! First of all, I know that this comment does not have to do with your post. I used toget Seasonal Delights..& I want to get the infor again. I can't find the webpage. All that shows up is status...not what I was looking for. Is it still going?
Please let me know,
I love the magazine...

You have a beautiful kitchen. Waking up to a clean kitchen, especially the sink, is a wonderful way to start the day.
The quote you picked was beautiful!

What a lovely kitchen - makes you wanta cook, doesn't it? I'm trying to get there - mine's a mess.
Guess I had better stop by Hallmark and see if they have that tea light holder.
There 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.
On 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.
Enjoy your week!
Looks nice! Nothing better than a sparkling clean kitchen. Mine's sorta clean. haha
I like all the greenery in your window. Pretty!
Happy Monday to you too. Nothing starts the day out better then walking into a neat and clean kitchen. Love the rosey glow from your new tealight...I'm burning a vanilla one myself...hugs, Linda
I love your new tea light! Its so pretty on your kitchen counter, gleaming clean! I have an old fashion kitchen, How I miss counter tops! lol Yours made me miss them! My Bungalow is 100 years old, but huge for a Bungalow. Love the cabinets. I been so busy with my Grandchildren for weeks on end, and exhausted. I have the day off! I been on the computer! I do love the candle!
Your tealight holder is beautiful.
I love your blog too!

Hmmm....I did up the dishes last night and put all food away, but there is still a little clutter. Your beautiful kitchen and the comments here have inspired me to go ahead right now and make it nice and light a candle. Count me as well as one whose daily simple pleasure is reading your blog. Thank you.

As always, your blog brightens my day and makes me smile. I love Marjolein, too! Where did you find that wonderful tea-light candle holder?
Thanks for always making me feel a little more peaceful!

Hi Kelli,
Having a clean kitchen, house, car, etc. is always a blessing. We have so much to appreciate all around us.
Have a great day!
Your kitchen is sparkling!
That tealite holder is adorable. I also like her as well and have several of her things.
I hope you're enjoying your summer!
HI Kelli,
Simple 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,
Susie
