Hi everyone! I have been really behind on my blog posts lately....but only because I have been working on SO MANY new introductions for Simple Pleasures! I have been taking new photos almost every day to put on the website. This is my "Photography Studio" which actually was intended as a formal dining room, but has served me especially well for photos. The afternoon sun is always perfect for highlighting our amazing fabrics. I hope you will stay in touch and check our website often for all that is new. I have SO much in store for this year and...

Isn't she lovely!

September 26, 2024

At Simple Pleasures we celebrate every day, and we especially celebrate this time of year! I love autumn and it's as if God is telling us to relax and slow down a bit while we relish the beauty around us. Change can be good and fall reminds us of that. This is the time when I do a personal inventory of all I have to be thankful for as I look back on my life and on the 34 years that Simple Pleasures has been a part of it. Little notes I have written about ideas and goals; messages from customers who have become friends; little treasures of nature that have amazed and inspired me; vintage sewing collectibles that remind me of creative masters that have come before me; and drawers of sweet little assessories and girly things that I myself have made through the years....all of these things inspire and encourage me. Thus I am sharing with you today a few ensembles that resulted from me slowing down a bit from my "normal" routine and just letting the creative juices flow. This is when I do my best work, while thanking God continually for the opportunity to do what I love most....designing, working with beautiful fabrics, and sewing to my heart's content.

She walks in beauty.....

She walks in beauty....this is and always has been my desire for Simple Pleasures....for us as godly women to constantly dwell in His presence and draw on His strength and wisdom. To always be nurturing and renewing ourselves so that we can be the best that we can be and in turn be a blessing to others. Lately I have been in a stage of reflection over the last 33 years of Simple Pleasures' life as a business and how my life and that of countless others has been blessed by its existence. You see, Simple Pleasures is about...

It's fall ya'll!

October 12, 2023

I can hardly believe September has slipped away and we are in mid-October! The leaves are so beautiful and the soft breezes soothe my soul. There is a time and a season for everything,.....God planned it all so beautifully. I especially love my autumn tablescapes.

In the garden.......

August 01, 2023

I think of this every morning when I am in my backyard......one of my favorite hymns that I remember from childhood...... I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of his voice is so sweet The birds hush their singing,...
