three little things, no. 9

Oh, I haven’t done one of these posts in a while!  So here goes.  Three little things that make me happy…

Up first is the color blue.  I know this is supposed to be the year for green, but lately, I find myself drawn again and again to blue.  Especially the turquoise kind.  Like these blue lacquer boxes.   For those of you that follow color trends, they come in green too.

Up next is this sweet mini orchid I got at Trader Joe’s for less than $5.   Seriously?  I’ve kept it alive for three weeks.  Amazing for a serial plant killer like me!   It’s about a foot high, and the flowers are about an inch across.  I can’t decide if it’s more elegant or charming.

And last but not least is this happy little vase from Anthro, which has the added bonus of being sort of blue too.  It’s aqua, with that pop of coral, and it makes my desk happy even when it’s empty.  Right now it’s filled with big yummy flowers.

That’s it for three little things for now – what’s up on your list of favorite things right now? 

Best,
Stephanie

    Love the vase and boxes - no trader joes near me and I doubt I'll have one in the new place -
    My Daugherts love it though!

    Love that vase!! I rarely buy orchids because I can't keep them alive (and I'm pretty good with plants).
