"I know well that happiness is in the little things..." John Ruskin
Some little things that are making me very happy today include...
receiving a package of goodness from here, in preparation for some Valentine's day making,
gathering supplies for a very special card,
getting to knit this cardi alongside a friend,
and seeing my kiddos faces as they rush home.
What "little things" are making you happy today?
Edited to add: Several hours after I wrote this post I saw these photos and read this post. And they are making me very happy. And being part of this community of brilliantly talented women is causing me to be seriously giddy. Words cannot express how happy you all make me each day. And for that I thank you.
Ahhh, the smell of lavender. I can see why you're feeling happy today. Thanks for the advice on my too-small-bag issues....Why don't you write the tutorial and then I know I'll be able to follow the directions (hint, hint)?

Your post was very timely for me as I was wondering where I could find potpourri. Little things can bring big smiles.
