A new school year is starting. Tomorrow will be my last first day of school. It's one of those crazy things that jumbles your head around for no particular reason. So, instead of dwelling on it I've decided to put together a list of things that are making me joyful recently. For example:

The last gifts of the fading season. A bit battered and over ripe, but delicious nonetheless.

Reminders of all the little pleasures autumn has in store. And soft leather notebooks with clean, empty pages ready for an eager hand.

Old costume jewelry given new life.

And old favorites, waiting for the first chill of winter to be read by a fire with hot chocolate and slippers.
