one of my dear friends cut me a bouquet of ranunculus from her garden several years ago, and it’s been one of my favorite flower ever since. so many petals layered one on top of the other make it seem as though they go on forever! what’s your favorite flower?

stacy founded leif knowing that the smallest things can inspire and enrich our daily lives, and her mission is to provide those for us. i think the small things are everything. filling my home with little pleasures makes me happy and keeps me refreshed and inspired.

here are a few small things i like to do around my home to keep things cheery:

- sprinkle plants around the areas i live and work in most
– keep pretty soaps by each sink
– use beautifully patterned notebooks and journals
– keep fresh flowers on the table
– drink out of a beautiful mug in the morning
– wrap up in a super soft blanket in the evenings

what are some of the small things you do to inspire and enrich your daily life?

the leif lifestyle is also one that i can definitely connect to. in stacy’s words, leif is all about growing indoor citrus trees, matte pastels, a collection of vintage glass bottles, old botanical and anatomical prints, meyer lemon butter on freshly baked scones, various breeds of succulents scattered throughout the home, a garden full of vegetables, freshly cut flowers on a reclaimed wood kitchen table.
