Favourite Things

Good Tuesday, teammates! Katie of BlackStar, BlackStarBeads and the future BlackStarVintage has been kind enough to share a few moments of zen with us. Please read on to find out more about her favorite thing--if you can shake your brain free from the vision of sitting in one of these beach chairs, that is.

I tried to pick one favorite thing for this blog post. Pretty hard to do because I have many. But I did notice that my favorites all had one thing in common.....water. I love being surrounded by water. The sound of a running creek. The crash of ocean waves. Rain falling on a tin roof. Sitting under an umbrella in a downpour. All so peaceful and calming.

I'm a gardener. My gardens depend on water to grow. If it doesn't rain, I set up the sprinkler system to make sure that our plants get a good drink when needed. A well watered garden is a happy garden. And a happy garden produces a bountiful harvest.

Water. It's something many of us take for granted, but without it, where would we be?

Thank you, Katie, for sharing your favorite thing with all of us. Now, back to the beach chair I go! --Katie :D
