The Simple Things//Magazine

Open publication - Free publishing - More family

I discovered a "sneak peak" into The Simple Things magazine over a month ago, bookmarked it, and totally forgot about it because of where it was in my bookmarks. I found it again over the weekend and am so pleased I did.  It sent a sigh of contentedness through my soul. The magazine looks to be so delightful and I'm eager to get a copy myself. 

The style reminds me of why I enjoy all the cookbooks I do. Homemade, Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights and La Tartine Gourmande all share a love for the simple joy that is excellent food, special moments and a beautiful cheese plate. And not excellence in the overdone. No,  excellence in a few fresh ingredients, some flowers picked and a well-used, but beautiful tablecloth. 

It is gems like these that I treasure forever, the ones that teach me time and again that simple is the best path to take, the truly beautiful. For one can have the overdone, but is it something you can recreate day after day, to be enjoyed time and again?

Take a moment to peek through this delightful magazine yourself.  Perhaps it will make you sigh, as well.

Pretty Inspiration

The other day I was sitting in Barnes and Noble, sipping a little americano and enjoying the wintery day with my husband.  I decided to browse the magazines and came across this amazing bit of reading.

"Artful Blogging" is a quarterly magazine featuring a variety of inspiring bloggers.  Photos are by bloggers, articles are by bloggers, etc.

And just look at these photos!  I simply wanted to sigh and then breathe in all the beauty.  I'm so inspired by bloggers that can produce such gorgeous work for others to enjoy.

Many bloggers offer advice on how to blog, take your own beautiful pictures and staying true to your individuality in a sea of so many other online journals.

I hope you're able to pick up this little jewel somewhere, because it sure is worth it.

Happy Monday!
