Don’t you just love the simple pleasures of life?
Recently my simple pleasures included capturing the first snowfall here since October. How beautiful the trees looked all heavy laden with snow today.
I loved peering through a window to spy a frosty sunrise…
… smelling the aroma of a homey candle, ahh.
I love the simple pleasure of indulging in a sweet treat, hmmm…
…or the simple pleasure of seeing neatness & simplicity…
I love folky snowmen…
…snowballs and…
.
… SNOWDAYS!
I also love the simple pleasure of hugging a faithful companion…
… and sitting by a warm fire…
…or finding a really good book!
Speaking of good books,
I had such a pleasure last night, I was able to meet & chat with Franklin & Esther Schmidt who just recently published this wonderful primitive decor book which is filled with their exquisite photography!
Passion For Primitives

Franklin & Esther were shooting for Country Sampler Magazine
at my friend Sue’s home for a future issue, you’ll just love Sue’s home!
It was such a pleasure to sit down with a cup of tea and chat with this couple, they had so many interesting stories to tell and inspiring words of wisdom for me as well, I took it all in and I felt very honored sitting there listening to them.
They signed my book and…
Then I had them sign my Country Sampler!
I went home to indulge myself in the simple pleasure of PRIMITIVES!
This book is one of those books that you just can’t stop pouring over!
My last simple pleasure is in telling you that coming some time in the next following months to a Primitive/Country Shoppe near you will be the release of a
Primitive Days Calendar
2013
featuring my photography!
