Simple Living |
![]() White cotton dress, barefoot gardening, scent of beautiful flowers, shabby furniture, black and white photos, and organic simple meals..... I always dream of simple and relaxed lifestyle instead of living in the crowded, vibrant city. I prefer slow person: reading books, cuddling with my cat, listening classical music, and I love making one-of-a-kind items for decorating my house. From my grandmother's old red shoes to my father's black and white photos, anything inspires me. “Evidence of life. Anything from children’s art to dog-eared magazines to fresh-cut flowers that aren’t perfect.” – Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic |
