Despite the reason we're here in Perth, or perhaps because of, I've found myself really appreciating the small things that make me happy every day.
 |
| - Lovely husband C. and I part way through our morning walk from Scarborough Beach to Trigg - |
Waking up early to walk along a perfect beach before the day gets underway
Composing and taking a photo that completely captures the emotion in a moment
Hearing my nieces giggle as they lick a bowl we've used for baking
Riding my (vintage*) bike around a pretty lake as the sun is setting
My first sip of freshly squeezed juice in the morning
Getting lost in a new novel as a story unfolds and the characters evolve
Fresh flowers filling the house with bright colours and lovely fragrances
My summer tan on my feet (in the shape of my trusty pair of Havaianas)
Bright patterned maxi-skirts paired with a white tank
Tousled, salty and sun-streaked summer hair
What's making you happy right now?
From Perth, with love xox
* Seriously real vintage… my bike from my childhood years, dusted off and repaired and polished to within an inch of its life

That´s so nice, great post and I think that we´re so stressed every day to even acknowledge such things. I´d say that music and hugging my boyfriend is what makes me happy these days. We should appreciate such small things in life not overlook them. :) xoxo Eve.h
Oh I love summertime! It's snowing here in my part of Canada right now! : )
Everything you described sounds so perfect to me! I love a good book too.
That photo is gorgeous!
Enjoy the sunshine!

Hope your trip is going OK :) I love all of your small things that make you happy.
What is making me happy right now is the moment I walk in the door, take off my shoes, throw on sweats, and just get cozy! After busy days at work, this is my ideal time!

So cute. Hope you have great time
Nice little reminder to remember the little things. Things that are making me happy now: caffeinated coffee, my sister's adorable dog and the thought of our honeymoon to come!

It really is the 'little things'.
My cat curled up next to me.
I'm so glad you found my blog so I could find yours! It's quite funny because just today I seriously thought of heading over to Perth for the weekend! It was 6 degrees in Canberra this morning!
Walks by the beach, tans, flowers...Wish I were back in Fiji! Organizing a get together for some friends has got me really excited and happy today :)
Hi dear, such an inspiring post, I am with you on points 5 & 6.
P.S If you do find the brand when you go to Poland, please mail me something from there :) *winks*
beautiful description of summer!! over here in melbourne it's feeling more like winter!
great image!
What novel are you reading?! I'd love to know!
I'm freezing at the moment so this felt like a warm breeze haha!
Mmmm, I want summer too...
I'm happy because I'm thinking of maybe buying a bunny after my exams as a birthday present!! Woohoow!
You couldn't have summed up almost my exact happiness at the moment too - I'm still on my holiday break from Christmas so have managed to drag out blissful days for a month now. I can't wait till my neice is old enough (she's 7 months now) to have sleepovers and we can bake and giggle allll day long :) LOVE this post.
