Lately I’ve been grateful for camellias that remind me of my Papa Jim…
For queen bees set free from their boxes.
For docks and the blueness of Lake Lanier.
For homemade vanilla lattes.
For the love between these two, and the kippah on my brother’s head.
For instant photos (as always!)
For finish lines.
And for blooming azaleas.
Lately I’ve been grateful for…
Christmas gifts that make me feel loved and known.
Craft beverages and tomato soup.
Whirlwind big city adventures.
Delicious brunches with my favorite man.
Velveteen dresses.
My favorite tiny cookie cutters.
For time to paint, and fuzzy little muses.
And for beautiful snowy days in Georgia.
Lately, I’ve been grateful for beach trips.
And family time.
For new houses and fig trees.
For dress shopping excursions (and finding “the one”!)
And for the instant film that makes capturing these memories so fun.
*All photos here except dress shopping were captured on a Land Camera 210 using Fp-100c film [no longer manufactured]. The photo in front of the bridal shop was taken using an Instax Neo 90 on Instax Mini Color film.
Lately I’ve been grateful for a lake to float in.
And skiers to spot.
For family talents.
And brave hearts.
But mostly I’ve been grateful for togetherness, and the blessing of family.
Lately I’ve been grateful . . .
. . for small hands holding old cameras.
And for the old-fashioned fun of waiting for “instant” film to develop.
For $6 goodwill dresses, and a sewing machine to re-fashion them.
For new backsplashes.
And for hot summer hikes.
Unbidden Grace
