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 and
staying warm! There was a dusting of
snow here 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 ~



Thanks for stopping by!

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