Vintage Finds

Yesterday, I went to one of my favorite local antique shops.  They have a wide variety of items, from lanterns and tools, to decorative objects, kitchen ware, holiday and children's things, jewelry, modern, vintage, and the like. 

In one of the shops little alcoves, I found this fellow sitting there.  I generally don't purchase these types of items, but I could not resist his vintage charm. 

Vintage, antique, I don't really know, or care.  He was just too darling to pass up.

Making A Decision

Why in the world do I keep moving my blog?

I've returned to Blogger for the following reasons:

1.  Most of my blog buddies use Blogger.  Therefore, it is quite often easier for them to comment on my posts, and for me to leave comments on theirs, as we are already connected through the same site. 

2.  Vanity.  I love having blog followers.  And for the life of me, I could not add the Google Friend Follower icon to my Wordpress blog.  It's already part of Blogger.  Done and done.

3.  I prefer to create my own Header image, and it seems to work better on Blogger. 

4.  More Widgets to choose from.

5.  I use blogger for my Little Flock Photography updates, and ultimately it seems easier to manage 2 blogs on one site. 

So, there you have it.  Simplicity Besides remains, only slightly altered.  Visit the archives here for the time being.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Indulge Yourself.

Don't let this Christmas season pass you by without enjoying yourself.  In the mad rush of the 'to do' lists, don't forget to take a moment, breathe deeply, and clear your mind of the craziness.

Curl up with some hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and a good book (or movie). 

Sit by the fire with your loved one and have a heart to heart.

Go look at Christmas lights.  Not because you have to.  Do it because you want to.

Find a simple indulgence, and be happy.
