something lovely

I keep thinking about the way my friend Nicole’s landlord has decorated the little garden house out back with a collection of plates.  I can’t get over the way it’s just this little unexpected lovely thing in the yard.

I just saw the amazing Amy Krouse Rosenthal in Houston this week doing her Beckoning of Lovely project (and I’m reading her unbelievably fantastic Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life) and I’m resolved to keep my eyes open for loveliness.

If I can remember to.

There should definitely be more plates on buildings.
