Not only did my husband buy me a can of paint and offered his help in painting, he also gave me some pretty pink roses. And, this, genuinely made me happy.
To my surprise, though, a few days later, a manilla envelope arrived.
The pretty label gave away what was inside.
I could not wait to open it.
Now, I just have to find a place to proudly display my beautiful print.
Though I was happy with my gallon of paint, for Valentine's Day...content to live simply, I am over the moon that my thoughtful husband went above and beyond and also bought me this beautiful print.
If you haven't already, visit The Painted Arrow. She has a collection of beautiful, inspiring, colorful prints.
Oh that's very sweet, what a lovely print. I also love your letter opener that's adorable.
ReplyDeleteit's so pretty - and the saying is what i'm striving for. another blog I read makes me realize I can live simply yet wonderfully, before I thot it would be stark and depriving but now I realize its just opposite.
ReplyDeletewe share the same heart - paint and flowers! plus that print has some of my favorite flowers in it - peonies!
You have a great guy there! A lovely gift!
