Life As Art

What is creativity? It’s a big question, with no right or wrong answer. The response will vary for everyone, and that’s good!

Friends, Today I’m starting a new series here on Pure Happy Home!

The series is called,

Life As Art.

life is art

Each week I’ll share thoughts, ideas, beautiful moments and creations with you!

Why? Well because the only thing better than creating, is sharing what you’ve created with others. The same goes for observing beauty. When you see something beautiful you want to share it with others so they can enjoy it as well.

I believe we were made by a Creator God who instilled in us great ability, empathy and the desire to create.

I love seeing other’s creations! It motivates me and encourages me beyond words.

The Life As Art series will share some of the very best and beautiful things I’ve found in real life and on the internet.

The world is full of wonder, let’s enjoy it together!

Several very pretty things I saw this week and wanted to share with you.

This calming, neutral home giving me all the feels.

These perfectly Fall prints that make me want to start a whole new gallery wall.

I scrolled though the photos of this traditional home in a completely happy place, just the coziest and most welcoming abode.

Went through a nostalgic walk down memory lane while touring these incredible gardens. It’s been too long and Jeremy and I want to go back and show the kids.

Styling coffee tables has never come easily to me so I appreciated this post, by one of the best Thrift shoppers around, on doing so with thrifted items.

Here are a few ideas on taking better care of ourselves in every way.

Quote of the Week

The Gift of Music

*Music was a huge part of the first 25 years of my life. It is powerful! I hope you are moved by these pieces.

Sarah Vaughn has both a jazz and operatic voice. One of the most naturally talented vocalists ever singing a classic.

The level of quality these young people are playing at is astounding.

Talk about the birth of a star. The classical world knows a genius when it hears it.

Music to lift you up. Songs like this can turn your day around.

I’ve been a Dolly fan since I was a little girl so I was surprised I hadn’t heard this song before. Have you heard it?

Think on these things.

This 96 year old does what she wants, and she wants to work.

The more we learn about animals, the more I am amazed. See the stunning wildlife finalist photos.

Dresses are my go to fashion choice these days. They are the easiest way to get dressed!

Checked out Target and found a few great dresses at even better prices.

Hope you’re soaking up your weekend, and breathing in lots of relaxation.  Thanks for coming along on this foray into some of the goodness out there.

Until next time you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Tik Tok.

Here’s to seeing the cup as half full.
