We all know that possessions aren’t the most important thing, but they can really make life more enjoyable! Having gone through the process of selling 90% of our stuff, I am unwilling to clutter my house up with insignificant stuff, but I am enjoying replacing some items.
Here are a few of my new favorites:
Indoor Plants
It’s so important during the winter months to have some life and color inside your house. I feel happy when I look at these little guys.
Colorful Storage Bins
I am naturally a piler, but the great thing is that I can pile my stuff inside a container and it looks organized!
Beautiful Stoneware
When my children were smaller they often broke dishes, so I ended up replacing them with plastic ware. Now that the kids are older I am enjoying “real” plates. I found the complete set of these beautiful fern colored dishes at the thrift store (and the fun cloth napkin too!).
Art Supply Basket
I’ve been trying to stretch myself to be more creative so I started keeping my art supplies in a basket on my desk to remind me to create. I feel happy just thinking about doing more art work.

My camera is one of my favorite things, as well as my Kindle touch. I doubt I will ever get rid of all of my books but it is nice to have over a dozen books in one little ereader! 🙂
I don’t have a Kindle but I have enjoyed reading many of the FREE Kindle downloads on my computer lately.
I love indoor plants/flowers in the winter too. My favorites are my geraniums. Last summer my Mom told me that the nursing home she works at keeps geraniums inside all year long. I tried it with mine and I have had two beautiful pink ones in my house since the end of summer. Right now I have 7 beautiful flowers on the bright green plant and many blooms. Love it! Feels great to look at them on a cold, dreary day!
I like geraniums too but I didn’t know they would grow inside. I’ll have to try it!
