Carolyn has started a wonderful blog project called Messy Little Details. This is what she shares on her blog:

 

"Each week I will share one of these photos, something that caught my eye and I had to photograph. A simple thing. A detail. A colour. A texture. The post will be short, a photo and a few sentences at most, it is the photo and the reason I had to take it that I want to share. I will try and make them recent photos, but the odd older one may slip in from time to time.

I also want to invite you to join me in sharing photos of those odd little things you just have to photograph, things that inspire you, thrill you, make you laugh or make you wonder.  I will include a linky list each week as I'd love to visit your blog. Choose a photo like I've described, blog it, add your link and visit others who have done the same, simple. Don't worry about when the photo was taken, recent is great but sometimes it is also good to review photos we took long ago and discover hidden gems."

My messy little details photo today is a photo of two of my most prized possessions. These lady figurines are so special to me. The one of the lady holding the baby was given to me by my Mom the Christmas right after Amber was born. The lady with the toddler was given to me by her the Christmas right after Emily was born. These hold so much meaning for me representing the birth of my two daughters, and they are extra special because they were gifts from my Mom.

I absolutely love photographing little details. I think that is why I am enjoying this weekly blog project so very much. I was at a wonderful crafty antique store and came across this sign. The sign did not do much for me at all, but I found that I fell in love with the detail of this tin star and of coarse had to photograph it.

The photo I chose to use this week is one of the pencil holder on my desk. It is my all time favorite thing on my desk. Emily made it for me about two years ago for a school project and she was so proud when she gave it to me. I love being able to look at it and remember the excited and proud look on her face that day she brought it home. It brings me pure happiness.

This is the photo I decided to use today. I absolutely love scented candles and burn them almost everyday. I was burning a vanilla one this week which is one of my favourite scents.

As soon as I came across this blog project, I knew it was something I wanted to participate in. Every year over the winter my camera gets put away and I take very few photos. Every spring I am anxious to change that. To get out my camera again and begin documenting my life. I think this is the perfect way to document those simple, everyday things that bring me joy.

 

So here it is, my first photo I want to share. My Mom came over for dinner the other night and brought the girls and I this gorgeous boquet of flowers. I love having fresh flowers in the house.
