Weekend Inspiration

The recipe for a glorious weekend? A lot of books, a bit of bling. 

Have a great one, folks!

PS: The backdrop is the Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland, as depicted in the book "The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World" - a treasured gift from my darling little sis, and an exquisite addition to my home library.

Spring is in the Air!

A quick post today, to wish all my lovely readers the promises of spring. Here's to new beginnings and familiar joys! 

I've always felt that new beginnings become all the more sweet and exciting in the context of familiar joys as an anchor. Watching my little girl's response to new discoveries (even something as simple as the crumpling sound a piece of paper makes) change from squeals of joy when she is safely anchored in my lap, into tears of anxiety when my, or her dad's, comforting presence is removed, reminds me of this all too well. And so today, here's LBD wishing all of you the comfort of familiar joys that grow sweeter with each new beginning in your lives! 

Thank you for visiting, and have a wonderful weekend!
