Simple Joys

 

I love the stacked bracelets look.  I just purchased the Ariella bracelet which says faith. I thought it was appropriate since that is the word I chose to focus on this year.  I wrote about it here.  I spotted my friend Diane wearing the lucky bracelet this past weekend.  Naturally, I had to run out and buy myself one at Nordstroms.  They are sort of a throwback to the 70’s when it was popular to wear your name or a word on a necklace. I’m very nostalgic when it comes to the 70’s.  You can also find necklaces in the Ariella collection of jewelry.

 

I’ll be attending the ballet A Mid Summer Nights Dream with some friends this weekend at the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts in Kansas City .  This will be my first time to see the Kauffman Center since it’s opening in September 2011.  I love attending a play or musical every now and then and I’m anxious to see this beautiful facility.

 

I love buying kitchen items such as plates, glasses, bowls, and utensils.  I should be buying clothes right now because that’s what I really need, but I keep gravitating to jewelry and home items.  You don’t have to try on home items and pretend it’s the mirror that’s making you look ten pounds heavier.  I love Anthropologie’s home goods.  In my usual fashion, I quickly skimmed the clothing and went straight to the home goods area.  I found the above dessert plates by artist Bridget Davies in the sale section.  They were a good deal  so I bought a set of eight.  They probably aren’t the most practical plates, but sometimes you have to throw practicality to the wind and just enjoy a good deal.  I’m sure organizing expert, Peter Walsh would disagree with me on this matter.

Have a great weekend and I hope you find joy in the simple things!
