Glimpse of Happiness

 
"I caught a glimpse of happiness,
and saw it was a bird on a branch,
fixing to take wing."

Richard Peck
 

I used a bird illustration found in a book:
published in 1913. I imagine it perching
briefly, preparing to fly off again.


Typewriter font messages were added to some,
and some were kept blank. I like having the
option to write in another message or a name,
if using as a gift tag. They turned out nicely
as rustic mason jar ring Christmas ornaments.
 

Hope you're all staying well & staying warm!
It's definitely getting colder here in Ohio.
There was a dusting of snow the day after
Thanksgiving, which made it feel like
A final thought...



"The moments of happiness
we enjoy take us by surprise.
It is not that we seize them,
but that they seize us."

Ashley Montagu

  1. The light, old endpaper texture is from a book c. 1867. It's from the Old Design Shop - one of my favorite resources.
