Learning from those who came before me....

I learned so much as a young girl from observing the work of my mother and both grandmothers...I was fortunate to be surrounded by creativity during those formative years.  Watching and learning through those years to think outside the box and to make the most of what I had to work with....such was the foundation of the Simple Pleasures of today. #learnandgrow #preciousmemories #fashiondesigner #seamstress #olderandwiser Never forget your humble beginnings and always do your best with what you have to work with.  To this day,  I still have this reminder taped on one of my sewing machines....

His mercies are new every morning.......

One of my favorite hymns by Thomas Crisholm: Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;There is no shadow of turning with Thee;Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be. Great is Thy faithfulness!Great is Thy faithfulness!Morning by morning new mercies I see.All I have needed thy hand hath provided;Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

She walks in beauty........

She Walks in Beauty BY LORD BYRON  She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that...

It's Fall in beautiful Tennessee!!

Time for pumpkins, dandelion tea, and hot homemade soups!  I love to cook when I have time, and soups are my favorite thing to make.  Always different because I throw in everything but the kitchen sink!  Vegetarian Vegetable with Pasta......Loaded Potato with Cheddar.......Italian Sausage......yummm!!!! My pumpkins will eventually be scooped out for the seeds and the rest backed for delicious pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Pumpkin is oh-so-delicious and oh-so-healthy too! This is also the time of year when hot herbal teas are so enticing.  I have a yard full of sage, thyme, echinacea, and yes....dandelions!  No pesticides for us!  ...

New year.....new hopes and dreams............

I have big plans for this year.....for myself......and for my company.  So excited to turn the page and start an exciting new chapter in the "Simple Pleasures" of  my life!!  With God, all things are possible......no dream is too big for Him.....no challenge too great.  Praying now that God will be my director....striving to allow him full rein of my ambitions.....full rein of my creative energy......to be the first One that I go to for guidance and not the last.     With smiles and a few tears I'm also reflecting today about my "Mama Lottie"  who always said: "Tina,...
