A New Season...

I haven't been a very faithful or committed blogger these days. For those of you who have continued to read along in spite of my very sporadic posts, thank you. 

As we enter this new season of leaves changing colors, mums, and apple cider, our family is entering a new season in life as well.  I am sure that in the days to come I will be writing a lot about it all. Right now, I am learning to know what it really means to take one day at a time. Strange how a change or new circumstance really does force you to slow down and gain so much perspective. I'm being reminded again that God is faithful, knows my families every need, and that He is holding us close and showing us the way. He is my strength, my joy and the One to be praised for so many things.

I Love Numbers...

Have you noticed numbers seem to be appearing on everything these days? Who would have thought that a number could make something look so pretty?  Numbers to me represent order and there is something so simplistic about them when all lined up.

I especially love the number 5. There is something graceful and whimsical about the way that it looks. 

And the number 3 is just plain fun don't you think?

I recently found the coffee mugs at TJMaxx for $4 a mug. Although I wish I had all nine mugs, I will settle for the two. Somehow I just couldn't justify spending almost $40 on mugs no matter how fun it would be to have them all. 

In this month's edition of Country Living there is a whole page set aside for items with numbers on them...

The possibilities of where to place a number really is endless. Everything from burlap bags and pillows to glasses and plates. Or how about choosing your favorite font and framing them up to hang on your wall. I know that all it would take is some stickers or stamps to make some really great things. I must be careful though, otherwise I will end up with numbers everywhere!
