an old blind man


MONDAY

on my way back home
an old blind man stepped into the metro and sat down in front of me
behind him, three people started to play some traditional music
with a flute, a small 12 strings guitar and a ukulele
that was truly beautiful
the old man seemed surprised, and suddenly, smiled and seemed to be at peace and happy
his eyes were rolling, mine were staring at him
and slowly, i felt tears coming into my eyes.


a plant


WEDNESDAY


i've been looking for a pilea for months.
a few days ago, i went to brussels, where i've met delphine who kindly hosted me
she gave me this (her!) little pilea.
this is so nice and inspiring, having this little plant on my table while i'm making necklaces.

the happiness collection ::
because dealing with the world today is tough, in general and in our daily life, the happy things are less common than they should be. 
as a memory, i just want to collect a thing a day that made me happy and share it with whoever who will stumble across that blog.
it will be way more personnal than HomeCollection., 
but the idea is to share a happy thing.
// and maybe you could participate too, posting your happy thing in comment :-)
