Over the weekend I pulled out my camera and tried my hand at a few ideas that have been inspiring me lately. Anabela’s post got me thinking about my own five daily necessities. They aren’t that exciting but they are beloved and I always have them with me.
And they are…
1) My Tiny Happy bag. I feel a little like I’m cheating with this one because of all the important things I stash in here: cable needles, tapestry needles, craft scissors, double pointed needles, back up nail file, bobby pens…
2) A nice nail file (some days, I secretly wish I was a manicurist) in the Tiny Happy bag.
3) Bert’s Bees

True story, I got this little notebook for 50¢! It falls apart, I glue it back together, and I love it!
4) Size 7 bamboo knitting needles
5) Notebook & favorite pens
Inspiration from Collections
Lisa Congdon’s lovely Collection A Day project made me start seeing collections in my house. I gathered up lots of things that could be grouped in threes. These two are my favorites…
Ballerina Cookies & Mini Tart Pans
Red Books
You can check out some of Lisa’s collections for yourself right here…

What’s inspiring you today?



I remember when you bought that little notebook! It has survived a long time. I still have the little “tiny happy bag” that you made me and I love it. It changes purpose from time to time!
