I is for Innocent Pleasures
When the day is a bit grim, when I'm feeling a bit down, a bit tired, or like today - a bit under the weather, some things will make me smile.

| Mrs Beeton has crept into my poetry section |
Books - the look, touch and smell
of old books
(and new books)
The Isley Brothers 'Summer Breeze'
Sitting out late on a warm evening watching for bats
 |
| Marilyn Among the Wallflowers |
Watching a sleeping cat
Cleaning something and it actually looking like it's been cleaned (everyone notices when you don't do housework, nobody notices when you do).
 |
| Artisan Yarns Silky Merino 'Rainbow Lover' |
 |
| Mid-Late '40's?? Bit of a Tyrol influence |
of old knitting patterns
Tiny wrens getting cross with anything that moves in their territory.
The scent from the herb garden and the sounds as the bees work away there.
 |
| Lavendar - can't get enough of it and I just keep on planting it. |
Going through my assortment
 |
| The Blue/Coral selection |
of junk jewellery to find
interesting colour combinations

Very good post - your kitty is so cute! I love your jewelry collection - very cool! It is so nice to have small things to make us happy!
That yarn is gorgeous - and how cruel of you not telling us what it is going to be!
Oh I love this post! Starting with old books (I love to smell old books) and ending with some gorgeous jewelry. Add a dash of cat and I am in a good mood. Thanks for letting me vicariously enjoy some innocent pleasures!
Gorgeous! Can I come rummage through your jewellery & peruse yor bookshelf?
A lot of this is, I'm afraid, the result of many years collecting 'stuff'. A little bit here, a little bit there - suddenly we have a bit of a space problem.
