One of the many, many magazines (read as magazine-aholic) I have a subscription to is Domino. Although my aesthetic is not quite as modern, I do love the magazine's design and get loads of inspiration for craft projects while flipping through.
This month, my inspiration was to start my own "10 Things That Make Me Happy" list - and what better place to post my list but here. So, over the next few weeks, I will be posting pictures of ten things that make me happy... in no particular order.
My first thing is my Gram's Fiestaware. I have loved it ever since I found it boxed up in her basement when I was little. Seriously, to Gram, Fiesta wasn't anything quite special or even valuable. That phenomenon is fairly new. At some point, Gram decided to share the Fiesta with my Mom... and then later the Fiesta found a home back in Gram's buffet, but this time in my house. I have to admit, I hardly ever let myself use it (I bought new Scarlet Fiesta to use everyday), but I do find myself opening the buffet and staring at it quite often wishing I the right special occasion to bring it out. Guess I need to make a special occasion because they definitely deserve some attention.
That's so neat that you have something of hers and you like it so much. I have one big Fiestaware bowl (green!) that belonged to my husband's gramma - just looking at it makes me smile.
