Things That Made Me Happy Today

I’ve had a hard time today shaking this grouchy, grumbly feeling; so I decided to make a list of all of the things that made me happy today.

1. wearing vintage to church today.  the brooch is really an old button from my grandmothers collection, as are the faux pearl earrings.  the leopard purse was my great grandmothers (a little sad that my feet are too big for the matching heels).

vintage accessories

2. rearranging the furniture in the kids room

3. reading vintage hardy boys on the couch and falling asleep

4. home made brownies (WAY better than any box mix).  recipe here.
