It’s been rather grey here in Seattle, with the occasional sunny break, but overall just kind of ‘bleh’. I have discovered that added color in my day, be it through clothing, or a teapot, or some kind of flower or bright spot, lifts my mood and elevates my spirits and reminds me that spring will indeed come. Here are 2 photos that lightened my spirit the other day and blessed my soul.

The teapot was a chamomile surprise at Oddfellows Cafe on Capitol Hill; along with the daisy arrangement it was a lovely added spot of color to the morning spent dining on a late breakfast with my two daughters. I intentionally bought these pants back in the fall and then found these brightly colored Nike’s at Sports Authority just before Christmas: put the 2 together and voila – instant flash of color 🙂
