Finding happiness in little things...

I love bottles and unique glass jars... they make me happy! I love their simplicity and unpretentious charm that brings forth this refreshing feeling of a country home and cottage garden... this is an old mustard jar that I filled with a small handful of my favorite delicate pink roses... I wrapped some wire around the top of the bottle so I could hang it off of a peg on the wall.

I wanted to experiment embellishing my world with it... I like how it looks here, hung from a tree branch... an eye-catching art for winged faires and butterflies!

Or here... hung on the knob of the old armoire. I love the combination and warmth of beautiful pinks and rich chocolate browns for a dreamy look.

Nothing like the warmth, inviting atmosphere of a country home, and my little jar sitting here, by the white enchanted window, provokes just that!

Light and airy are the feelings I get. I think I should leave it here, don't you think?

Oh but I must try it in the kitchen too! Like here, on the baker's rack along some soft pink rose heads and favorite tarnished silver pot.

Pink roses and a tarnished silver pot, always a classic don’t you think? Where do you think I should place my new glass jar?

Happiness comes from counting our blessings and appreciating little things.

    Good Morning Cielo Sweetie...
    What a beautiful post. I love the simplicity of the beautiful roses in the small glass container. So beautiful and to see the roses sitting next to the pewter pot? Absolutely gorgeous. The beauty and the beast. I love it.

    Thank you for sharing this morning sweetie. Country hugs...Sherry

    Oh Cielo, I love your use of the old mustard jar and the roses. My favorite is the photo of it hanging from a door knob. I too love old bottles and once bought a bottle of water because it was in a bold blue glass bottle, a fabulous future vase.

    My Dear Cielo,
    My post for today is a poem "The Power Of One" and there is a line that reads....
    ‘One flower can wake the dream.” It reminded me of your post for today,how one small little object like a jar with some beautiful flowers can have the power to inspire others to create beauty. Your posts always awakes the dreamer in me.
    Sweet Blessings,
    Virginia

    OOOOhhhhh! I just adore the roses! I love them handing from the cupboard. What a gorgeous idea. I, too love collecting little glass bottles. I'm going to pinch your idea and attach wire to them for my roses too! What type of roses are the ones in the bottle? Down here in Oz, I am pruning my roses today! :-)
