Dear Sunflower,
I thought you wouldn’t make it but here you are, opening up your petals and facing the sun. I admire your beauty and elegance.
one day to another
facing the sun with love.
I’ve been in a creative mode. Trying to keep busy and creative this month. I’m trying to write as many posts that I can for October. It’s challenging but fun. I’ve been reading, writing and drawing. I’ve been enjoying writing in my journal with a new fountain pen! It’s a lovely gift from my husband and I love it so much. β€οΈ We went on a couple of road trips in Ontario. First stop was in Perth.
Perth is a lovely little place and I recommend visiting in the Fall. π A cute little town with a beautiful park and river and shops. Also really cute Book Stores and a huge vintage shop. I only went for the day and I wish I had stayed for the weekend. A lovely place and the park is so stunning.
I also visited The Big Apple in Colborne Ontario and bought incredible pies and apple bread. We bought pecan pie, apple caramel crumble pie, apple maple pie and apple bread. So delicious! The best pies that I’ve ever tasted. I recommend you go first thing when they open because it gets very very busy at lunch.
I’ve also visited a couple of Vintage shops. Vintage shops make me happy. It’s like an adventure and traveling back in time. One vintage shop in Perth Ontario and the other in Colborne Ontario. If you walk into a small town vintage shop you can tell a lot about the History of the town. Very beautiful in my opinion. So many stories in each piece. In the Perth vintage shop I found this lovely candle stick holder. I was looking for something like this and there it was!
When I was in Colborne Ontario I visited a vintage shop and found a very old book that’s a childhood favourite: Heidi by Johanna Spyri. The cover of the book has fallen off and the book is very fragile. I opened up the book to a random page and this is where it landed…
The book broke from the spine and broke in half to pg.112-113. The passage speaks to me in so many ways. β€οΈ I believe that this is a sign from the Universe. Do you believe in Signs?
I won a bunch of books and popcorn last month. I’m so grateful! The popcorn πΏ didn’t last long. π Thank you to @bookbrunch and @eatableinc on Instagram for the lovely books and popcorn.
I kindly won the book Heatwave written by Kate Riordan from @ohthebooksshewillread & @GrandcentralPub. Also about 7 weeks ago I won The Lions Den written by Katherine St. John from Jennifer Bairos on IG @jennbairos. I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all these lovely book loving people for the wins. I’m truly blessed and lucky. Thank you.
I bought new reading glasses. They are my favourite. I like a big frame. They are simple and lovely. I do have to go back and have them adjust my prescription though. They made them too strong and I get really bad migraines.
Thank you all so much for reading my post. I hope you have a beautiful September and I wish you all the best. Positivity, kindness and love. God bless!

I love your sunflower! They never fail to make me happy. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get to a sunflower field next summer. Congrats on all of your wins. You’ve got some reading to do in your future! π

Thank you so much Wendy! The birds and squirrels got to my sunflowers already. I’m happy I was able to capture them on camera. Hope you are well. Oh I would love to get to a sunflower field and one day a lavender field as well. I do have a lot of reading to do. I love reading so much. Have a lovely Autumn! Much love. π
