Adding a Little Luxury to Your Life ~ #1

Adding a little luxury to your life does not have to be expensive. It's about taking simple things in life and making them a little more special.



Enjoying a cup of tea is a great opportunity to bring a little luxury into your day. Instead of just plopping a tea bag in a mug and walking about your home or office with it in hand, let your tea steep in a teapot and then sip your tea from a china teacup.

China teacups can be found at antique shops, flea markets, yard sales and even at your favourite home goods shops at all price points. The Royal Standard china teacup above was found at a local resale shop and it is one I use often.

Steeping tea in an actual teapot ... also provides a few minutes of quiet time for reflection on your day.  This treasure is a hand painted Limoges France I found in a Vermont antique shop (with a sugar and creamer) when visiting my French friend Victoria. 

Whether you enjoy your cup of tea daily, weekly or occasionally make it special. 

And why not add a little treat ... these are a Greek pastry called "touloumbes" from a local bakery.


Make every day a Luxuriously and Balanced one,

Why I love City Living ~ flower shops

One of the things I have missed about not being at the country home is the gardens. But let's face it with the cold temps ... the flowers there have been gone for some time. In the city however, you can enjoy nature's beautiful colours and creations all year long! Courtesy of the fabulous flower shops. One of my favourite areas for flower shops is on Avenue Road - when I lived in the city full time I looked forward to my weekly (or bi-weekly depending on the flowers I had chosen) visits.

On a recent visit I came away with 4 bouquets!! - for just under $25.00

Look at these lovelies!!!!

I was able to create 8 beautiful arrangements to add colour throughout my home in the city. Beautiful!!! What do you think?

 These autumn coloured sunflowers were breath taking !
Unfortunately they only lasted about a week :(

When I purchase lilies I try to make sure not all blooms are open ...

The blooms opened up one by one over a 2 week period.

 this is almost 2 weeks after purchase!!! 

Can't wait to go back and replenish!!

Do you keep fresh cut flowers in your home year round?
