Simplicity

When I shared about early mornings in the kitchen and making coffee by the light of yummy scented candles and the soft flickering shadows from my antique hurricane, there was something I didn't mention.

Thistle.

Nestled between the candle and hurricane...it most likely went unnoticed.

This pretty addition to a flower arrangement caught my eye.  The days passed and I watched as each flower in the arrangement slowly drop its petals or turned brown and wilted, but the thistle stayed the same.  It remained just as pretty in the end as it had been in the beginning.  So I saved it.

Placed in a mason jar, paired with an antique wooden biscuit cutter and placed in the kitchen window.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that can be the most beautiful.
