Last summer while out garage sailing, I came across a box of garlands for five bucks. There were more, and I shoulda bought them all. It was late in the morning, after hours of shopping and my purse was lighter than I’d started out, while my car was much fuller. I was being practical, because the flowers are just decor, not resale items or supplies.
But man, don’t they add a spring time feeling to the space? And they are a quick and easy change, I simply drape each one over the hanging hooks. And presto-chango I have a dramatic new entry to my booth.
I’m very glad I snagged these sweet roses, seeing them hanging makes me smile.
Another thing that brought me a big ole grin? Beth gifted me this spectacular apron that she made! Perfect for adding pizzazz along with practicality to my Juju work days. I tried wearing jackets with pockets, but honestly, nothing beats a work apron for carrying my essentials. And this one is so soft and pretty, plus, it’s pockets are quite deep.
Thanks, Beth!
My buddy, Angie, also had a gift for me. A big bag of broken and junk jewels from both her and her mom. I used the beads salvaged from vintage necklaces to create bracelets.
And look at this! A lucky four leaf clover, a gift from nature.
How can you see this firework candle coming across the restaurant and not have a big smile on your face? Wow, I was impressed by the spectacle this added to my friend’s birthday celebration.
Last, but far from least, our peeps are busy growing and being adorable. So far, so good, no deaths. It isn’t easy raising chicks, but we haven’t lost a single one. They are getting cute and learning to play chase, all of them crazily and frantically following the bird with a worm in its beak. It’s my favorite game.
I hope your week is full of smiles too. You have to find them wherever you can, those little things mean a lot.
