In a week where I have been forcibly reminded of just how fragile life is I have a heightened appreciation of the wonder and joy in the little things.
So this week I'm grateful for:

 my newly scarlet painted toenails,

my thrill at baking as part of my new job and yet not actually craving any of its sugary sweetness. The side effect of lack of craving? Making myself wildly popular with the children and their friends by sending said treats to school. Who said sugar can't buy happiness?

beautiful swatches of wallpaper with their creamy textures that I just want to lay my head on

and chutney.
OMG this chutney is so divine there aren't words sufficient to describe its deliciousness. A thin slice over, well, anything really, and I swear a crowd of celestial beings pop up behind you to play a triumphal march as you bite into it. Truly.


Have a glorious weekend all.
(I'll be drawing the winner of the Kikki-k giveaway and posting it tomorrow)
