Words can express....

About a year ago, Kyle and I decided we were going to find one unique item at a time that would be something special for our apartment.
My latest find. Yes I said "MY".  This was something I found and totally suits me but Kyle said he wouldn't mind it in our apartment. 

Here it is-


In case you can't read it, which it is pretty small, it says -

This is how my day went. I woke up in the blue bedroom looking at the cracked ceiling.  Then I dressed in a hurry and snuck out the side door and walked into town.  I stopped by the new cafe and drank a bowl size cup of coffee.  I walked in the warm sand down to the beach.  Early in the morning it was quite there.  I laid on my towel and I looked at my feet that were tan and pretty against the crashing waves.  The seagulls watched me. But only for the possibility of food. My hair whipped my face. I sat up to read the book I brought with me. It was a perfect day.

I was drawn to this sign for several reasons.
1.  It gave me a calm feeling.
2. My feet are the only part of my body that tans and I thought that was funny.

3.  I love to read on the beach.
4.  All in all- how wonderful for such simple things make a perfect day. 

I found this sign at a cute little store in Port Angeles, WA.  The store was called Fiddleheads.  One of those little stores that has a lot of random things, jewelry, stationary, lots of signs like this one, books, all sorts of things. One of those stores draw you in by its appearance. See what I mean....

When I found this sign, I thought "I could make this and save the $36.95 plus tax." But... would I ever really do it.  I know better than that. Plus that defeats the idea of finding neat little things for our apartment and with that a story to share with you.
