Surround Yourself with Beauty

To all of you meanies who persist in encouraging my reality show spoofs (when you know I should be using my energy to be more ARTFUL), I give you my philosophy on ARTFUL living:  Surround yourself with pretty or inspiring things whenever possible.  These darling salt and pepper shakers are a good example.  For the past forever years, we have been using a very utilitarian set at home but I have been admiring this handmade set at the local cooking store.  They were FAR out of my price range but I've kept them in mind.  Yesterday my patience finally paid off and I was able to buy them 1/2 price.  Its such a little thing, really, to have pretty salt and pepper shakers but it can make all the difference to a small, solo meal.  Just a small, little smile added to my daily activities.

Now, if you MUST insist on knowing why I had to dig these salt and pepper shakers out of the trash in the dark last night, you'll have to go HERE to read that story.  It's just not the kind of thing I need for this entry if I'm going to continue to try and stay ARTFUL.  HA!
