Happiness Is...a Saturday at home

6.29.2012

 I've started taking a lot of photos, too many photos, photos I never intend to share here; and sometimes these photos say something to me and come to mean more than just an exercise in lighting, or focus. I've decided to start a series on the blog called "Happiness is..." My plan is to share maybe once or twice a month just little snapshots of life, the images I capture that don't have a place in the grand scheme of the blog but have a place in my heart because they're all the things of home.

Happiness is...

Waking up and walking out to the garden to water our growing plants, only to find your first ripe tomato and lettuce ready to eat.
Our CSA bounty turning into so much more; a time to spend with Ryan pickling and making the house stink of vinegar.
A silly puppy who thinks she has human hands and tries to help you cook and clean in the kitchen.
My studio- messy from use, and consistently well loved.
Pretty vintage wares hanging to dry in the afternoon sun.
Realizing it's noon and you've already had a day full of fun and exploration.
Loving a new thrifted item so much you put it on as soon as you get home and immediately go on adventures with it.
A spontaneous coffee date with the one you love.

Happiness is the little moments more often than the big ones. I hope you enjoyed this feature as much as I enjoyed creating it. I'm excited to share more posts like this in the future. big kiss, bekuh

  1. Ha ha, at least your pup is helpful in the kitchen. I mean she cooks and cleans?!! Awesome ;)

    Mine just get under my feet because they are hoping that clumsy ole me will drop a tasty morsel for them to nab.

  2. gorgeous photos, as always :) one of my dreams is to start a CSA program in our area. We are surrounded by farms but hardly anybody grows produce. its something that i feel i need to research thoroughly before jumping in but it would be awesome all the same. and girl, those dresses hanging in that lovely light make me so happy!

  6. Mmmm I love the idea of a "Happiness is..." series. It's similar to something I had in mind for my blog, perhaps we should chat? Either way - I adore that thrifted polka dotted dress/skirt. Amazing. I want to be a better thrifter!

  9. Lovely photographs! It reminds me of something I've been thinking a lot about recently: that I consider each photograph I take a motion of gratitude for the moment. I haven't written about it yet, but I just love capturing moments like this and recollecting the feeling I had when I look back on the snapshot later.

  11. I love little happy things. Their what I thrive on. Entire days of happy are rare, so it's good to remember all the little moments.
