Make Everyday Beautiful

As my company motto, I chose "Make Everyday Beautiful." Why?

I am a firm believer that it's the little things that fill most of our days that often bring us those moments of true beauty. There are certain days where a boxwood wreath, or a red necklace, or the smell of baking banana bread really serve to lift my mood and make me thankful for the good things in life. Everyday is defined as commonplace, ordinary, found in the ordinary course of events. For many of us, with lives full of seemingly small things, life can feel a bit too ordinary at times.

My muse on the art of the everyday is Edith Schaeffer, an author of the excellent book "Hidden Art." Here is a great quote of her's that I use often:

"Art in its various forms expresses and gives opportunity to others to share in, and respond to, things that would otherwise remain vague, empty yearnings. Art satisfies and fulfils something in the person creating and in those responding (14)."

Be creating something unique that becomes part of everyday life, we are sharing in the same longing for the beauty. And somehow it's good for the soul.

So, in my small way, I try to craft special things that will bring beauty to the everyday of my customers.

I'd highly recommend reading Hidden Art by Edith Schaeffer!

Make everyday beautiful!
