{embrace the season}

Hello Hello!!!
How are you doing on this fine Saturday morning!?!?!?
I love Saturday mornings....
extra time to enjoy my morning cup of joe and snuggle time with the girls!


Oh....who am I kidding....the girls drive me crazy on Saturday mornings...they wake up at the normal scheduled time of 6am and beg to eat, go out, play, just plain drive me crazy!! heehee!!! But I still love them:):):) Dogs....you just have to love them, right!?!?

We just experienced our fist snow fall of the season!!
and nope...i'm not crying!!
Since we were already up super early....I got a bright idea to take some pictures of me embracing the first snow fall!!
Good thing my poor husband is always so willing to help me with my crazy ideas:):):)

This winter I am determined to remain happy!
Since the weather has been a wee bit crummy I have been spending time making Simple Daisy jewelry! That always makes me happy!
Stay tuned for a nice holiday inspired give-away SOON!!!!
What do you think of my new creations!?!?!




Have yourself a fantastic little weekend!!
I am spending all day today drinking my vino and transforming my home into a christmas wonderland!!! Getting ready for my annual Christmas Party!! Yippee!!!!!!

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. ~ Groucho Marx

  1. Okay, first things first, I can't believe it snowed there!! Secondly, your encouragement to embrace each day and have a good attitude is so well timed for me today. I woke up on the grouchy side of bed, my boys are screaming and wild, I have a headache, it's COLD outside....but you're right. I can choose to be happy! Thanks, Heather!! I'm gonna try!

    P.S. I'm loving all your new designs!

  4. Oh my! Snow! It was on the radar for Michigan to get snow too but we didn't get anything that stuck, but it is coming soon I know. You are so positive and everytime I stop to say "hi" the positivity is so contagious. Beautiful new Jewelry pieces!

  7. Hi Heather-

    I think your husband is a real cutie for going along with you to take the great photos of you on your turquoise bike in the snow. Love it. He deserves an extra xo for sure :) It is wonderful to be able to celebrate and enjoy the little things in life!
    My best- Diane

  10. I love you attitude, kiddo! Each day is a gift no matter how it plays out!

    I had to laugh because I was feeling the same way about the "girls"..and then realized you were talking about dogs and I was talking about grandkids!....At least you can send yours out to play without having to dress them first! Hugs- Diana

  11. I couldn't agree more with your philosophy!!! Sometimes I still get caught up in complaining though, but not for too long anymore. Love the shots of you on the turquoise bike..., and can't wait too see what your decorations will be!!! Enjoy and cheers!!

  12. Wow, snow already! Love your photos on your bike in the snow with the girls just too cute.

    Good philosophy you have...cold gray days make it for me to be inspired.

    Our dogs have internal alarm clocks I swear. Now, if it's raining that's another story they want to remain under the covers. We have to carry them outside.

  13. Wow, you got a lot more snow than we did! So glad you are embracing it! You look so cute in your cozy sweater and hat riding your bike!

    I love your jewelry pieces and can't wait to see what you have in store for the holidays!

    Thanks!

  15. That snow looks soooo pretty! I love it. I am also adoring those bracelets!!!!

    I love the attitude that you are taking - it is so true. Today is what matters. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not a guarantee.

    I am excited that the holiday season is here! While I don't love the cold - I do love being all cozy and cuddly and snuggly inside...maybe with a fire in the fireplace : )

  17. Hi Heather! Where in the world do you live that you got snow already? We had teeny bits of snow here in Michigan yesterday, but nothing like you had! Those were great photos your hubby took of you. So cute! Hope you had a wonderful day creating more of that beautiful jewelry! I've got some of your things on my Christmas list....! lol!

  19. I love, love, love this!!!! You are a girl after my own heart...riding your beach cruiser in the snow. Oh, how I wish it snowed here. I have to drive up the hill towards Tahoe anywhere from 30 mins-1 hr. to see snow, which isn't bad at all, but I really really want it falling on my own wee cottage and gardens. Everything covered in WHITE...YES! Snow falling was most calming when I lived a short 18 mos. in KC area. It's gentleness was sooooo beautiful. I was mesmerized by it, when most people just seemed annoyed. I love your attitude...you will live a long life because of it. AND your jewelry is sea-lightful!

  20. Ewwww...snow! Although it's beautiful...and the first snowfall is always exciting, I DO NOT MISS IT! I am definitely a FL girl...with year-round flip flops and sand between my toes. (But I love your photos!!!)

    Your new jewelry designs are truly lovely! I'll be by to order a Christmas gift, soon.
    Jane (artfully graced)

    PS I choose to be HAPPY...and to create beautiful things for others.
    Creating makes me happy.

  21. Oh the snow is so pretty! I love it when it first falls. It sure did fall early this year!

    I love your attitude and I wish more people shared it. I know I have to remind myself some times too. But there are those that just don't get it all and I try not to let them bring me down.

    You look adorable in your chunky sweater and hat!

  22. I choose "happy". Many times it's what gets me through the day. After some time of reading the newspaper or watching the news, I HAVE to turn it all off, light a candle and think happy thoughts.

    I love your bicycle. I am thinking of getting a 3 speed bicycle from a second hand shop just for the fun of it.
    I happen to like the first snowfall; it's very pretty. Keep smiling and do what you love!

  24. We had our first snow too...early this year! Wow!

  27. I have a tough time holding onto happiness in the dead of winter also. I've heard taking vitamin D may help. I love your jewelry so very much. In fact, I hopped over here just to take a peek at your creations and look...you have some new goodies. Yay! So pretty!

  31. The turquoise bike in the snow...luuuuuuv it! Your attitude and quotes about said attitude....luuuuuv it! Okay, so I was looking at the anchor chain thing on your pic (beside 'fresh little pretties created just for you) but can't find it in your etsy shop! Is it part of an earring or a necklace or a bracelet? I'm liking it...a lot.
