Love it when little things can make us happy!
Rain drops hitting my kitchen window made me happy today! Spring!!! :)
I love little chairs - always have. I would have a whole collection of them if I had room to put them.
one of my education professors said a teacher requirement is to smell good everyday... some of our appalachian children do not have the opportunity to know clean, nice smelling adults at home and it is something we should let them know is normal and expected. at the time i thought she was crazy but it is amazing how that has proven to be so true throughout my career.
THe little things are always filled with the most happiness!
You make me happy everytime you post Koralee. have a Happy Happy Day.
Yes, small like as in you and happy as in how I feel when I visit you! Love ya :D
Lovely images and a great sentiment! Enjoy!
Yummy!
Happy Spring!
Hugs, Lisa
Yes, Koralee... This present moment ~ is our most treasured moment...
I still have our lil' rocking chair ... It is very rustic and needs a makeover. That will make a nice summer project!
Your bright mini cups are so cheery!
Oh, Koralee, I was peeking at your posts from last year {the wedding} and I love your pansy bouquets, with the doilies. What did you use underneath to plant the pansies? I forwarded your post to my daughter, Amanda... and she loves the idea too! We're planning Rachael's shower for the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend.
Sweet blessings to you always ~ Maria
Your posts are Always Pretty!
Your quote about happiness is one that I hope to memorize and to live by. Thanks for sharing it!
The compliment you received is the sweetest.
Have a wonderful day,
Joyce

Sweet Sweet Koralee...
What a sweet world you live in.
I don't think I've ever seen a sweeter world than yours.
I just want to come to your house and eat that salt water taffy with you. Maybe one day! :o)

Such wisdom in your sweet world!We should all live by that quote!

All things small and sweet are the perfect ingredients for happiness to me! A little note every now and than, just one beautiful flower to give away, to treat someone {or myself} with a couple of mini cupcakes.... it's so simple to brighten a day. I really need to find new words to fit in my comments on your lovelies posts ;o) Adorable, heavenly, divine, gorgeous, I keep mentioning those. Love the chair, I have my own old chair, looking so sweet, in our living room with a couple of cushions on it. Oh, and you're a true cupcake queen! Have a happy day. xox Your new profile picture is fun, love that cup!!
I need o lot of these...........than maybe i feel a litle bit happy .....sorry...........!!

Oh Koralee, that was simply beautiful. And blue raspberry is a divine color and flavor. Isn't it really the small things in life that make us happy? I can just change something in my home, add one small detail, or receive or gift one small compliment and it makes my day. God bless you dear and wonderful Koralee!

Being happy is a natural medicine, Koralee. I am happy most of the time. I'm lucky. Some people have much to contend with and struggle to be happy. It's not easy when your life is full of difficulties. XXXX

Hi Koralee
It is good to find happiness in the little things. Today I had a lot of catching up to do and was on the phone most of the day. What made me happy was my black cat Lilly settling right next to me and giving me one of her high pitch meaows once in a while to let me know she was still there.
Take care
Warm wishes

...i actually smiled today...this DID make me HAPPY...after ONE solid month of sad....

sending love to you,

Love your colors today!!! I have a small collection of little chairs. I love "little" things, especially children's things. Have a blessed day!
Blue raspberry salt water taffy. That sounds yummy! Sweet photo. One of my kindergarten students asked me why I had hair on my arms. HA! Women on this side of the world wax everything before they get married, even their arms. Not going there! Have a great day Koralee. Mine was fantastic! Blessings, Tammy
Wishing a happy heart to you too Koralee!! Mine is very happy! Thank you

Hi Koralee,
Love your sweet words and photos and they make me smile. It is always the little things that can make us happy.
Your new Avatar photo is cute.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
Hugs

Koralee, Your post is so delightful. It is always the smallest things that give us the most joy. I always remember them and hardly any of the larger material things. Picking a pretty flower with my children is joyful to me.
Have a blessed Easter
xoxo
all this beautiful blue stuff does make me happy. It makes me think...it really doesn't take very much to feel happy. thank you for this. Sarah
Yuuummy sweet sweet friend! You are so right...especially at Easter time:)

Just seeing your pictures makes me happy...knowing you makes me even happier. Blessed to have a friend like you!!

Koralee i just realized when you commented on my blog awhile back i replied to the email and it probably didn't get to you. so sorry. i'm new at this. thanks so much for visiting, it warms my heart!!
Love taffy, but my teeth don't! Sweet post, but I'd expect nothing less from you my dear ;)
Well you pretty much make me smile all the time!!! I feel like a nicer person myself after visiting you :) Too funny but I do!
What lovely photos! My kids adore taffy. Whenever we go to the oceanside we buy saltwater taffy and are in heaven.

I've used those liners. They make me happy! Smelling good is a nice thing! :)
I love little things as well. I just picked up a tiny little Peter Cottontail to add to an Easter collection. Small things can make a big difference. Happy Easter to you and yours!
Just getting caught up on your recent posts and they ALL make my heart happy!
~jermaine~
I'm holding on to this post. I could really use a happy heart right now!

Happy for me because I found you. I love your blog home. It is so beautiful.
Love your post. Salt Water Taffy is just the best isn't it? I love it in the precious little cup setting on that darling little chair. What a beautiful little vignette. The colors just took my breath away. Love it.
