Welcome...we're lucky to have you!!!
To live content with small means...to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion...to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich...to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart...to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, never hurry...in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious...grow up through the common...this is to be my symphony.
---William Henry Channing
Note: Words to live by. This poignant quote touches me more now than when I used it in my first book, Frugal Luxuries, Bantam Books, NY, NY, in 1997.

hi Tracy! i just visited your other blog, what an inspiration! so i am a follower of that one too! i want to say thank you so much for your kind comments about my blog. i really do appreciate it. i do agree, viewing beautiful things and places and having them in your environment has a very positive affect in our lives and emotions; especially when we are not defined by material things.i just really appreciate all of the beauty that God created around us, and that He has created in us to do as we express our many forms of art.so, it is my pleasure to share with you many beautiful things. it makes my day when you feel happy emotions when you visit my blog, Thank You! i love your blogs too! i learn so much from your post. i pray that you will have a blessed day today. enjoy your weekend!
God Bless,

Hi Charmaine,
Thank you for your lovely comments.
For those of you who haven't visited Charmaine's blog, "Beautiful Things to Share" she collects photos of homes, stores, places and things that she finds beautiful...then she takes the trouble of posting them on her blog for us to savor as well. You will sigh at the beauty of her collection! When I'm feeling overwhelmed, or just need visions of beauty on hectic day...I pop over to her blog for a minute and dream...it is such a soothing, rich, visual treat.
Thanks again Charmaine.
Blessings and warm thoughts,
Tracey
