little things

 

"There are no little things. 'Little things,' so called, are the hinges of the universe." 

--Fanny Fern

This is one of my very favorite quotes, used it in my last book and often go back to it. My life is all about little things and not just the ones filling baskets, boxes, bins, bowls. Robin's lovely little thank you gift, a little bit of sunshine, someone's little hug, a little birdsong.

I am scattered today with too many little things...and some are unhinging my universe. Like the airlines. Being the travel agent for a college kid is not a little thing.

Having said all that, today's post is kind of skimpy, definitely a little thing. At least you can admire this amazing flower-basket-towel-holder that Robin just knew I would love. She's right. I do, I do!

The tagbook post returns tomorrow unless I am online all day and night trying to get this plane ticket straightened out. Fingers crossed.

Update...got the ticket home for Christmas....revised and threw more money at the one I got for her in August which I could have bought for less money today. So much for early bird.

Your gift is really lovely. These old fashioned basket patterns are some of my favorites. I've never seen one used like this before. It's a wonderful idea.
Good luck with the airlines!

I've been the lucky recipient of one of YOUR "little things" and it helped to make my day sunnier and was a BIG thing to me! What a wonderful quote and a good thing to live by. I'm glad you got the airline business behind you! No fun!
