today

There is so much room in life for intentional beauty and thoughtfulness.

Some friends of mine once told me that each time they have a cup of tea it is a celebration. They take care in choosing each cup, each tea, and revel in the delight of each others company, their home, the tea, and the teacup. Some days call for strong black tea, others need the influence of a delicate earl grey. Their love is not lost on the detail.



















I think of old signs in shop windows outlining rules about school bags, street signs, open signs, closed signs, hand written and printed signs. With a little more care and consciousness the world could be a sweeter, gentler and more thoughtful place. I saw a sign today that made me reflect upon all the eftpos signs I have seen in my life, none have been this beautiful.
