A"New Year" filled with " New Ideas"

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer" - ZORA NEAVE HURSTON

New Year - A Fresh start - A new chapter of "new ideas"

How happy are you right now? Have you even thought about it? Most of us know what makes our parents, partners, or children happy....when it comes to an awareness about the things in life that bring a smile to our faces and contentment to our hearts ..we often come up short.
What may be missing is the true sense that we are enjoying the "blurrrr" that is our lives. It's difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what it is we genuinely love.
Our wish for you is that in 2010 you recognize and savor the small moments that bring you contentment and embrace these moments of happiness that are uniquely your own. None will be the same.

Let us each grasp this "new idea" to be aware of what makes us truly happy... In a way that brings happiness but in a way that brings happiness that overflows into our relationships, our work, and our spiritual lives.

Some suggestions from the Ivy & Twigs Girls:



Try a new scent for your home.



Redecorate that room that has never been "you". Small changes can make a big difference. Edit furniture, add a reclaimed hutch to display the long packed away items.

String an initial handmade charm on Gram's pearls and gift them to a loved one.

Enjoy a guilt free hour of "lingering" at Ivy & Twigs.

Simple pleasures are waiting to be enjoyed, let us not overlook them this year.

Wishing you only happiness & "New Ideas" for 2010.
