Blog Of The Week: Beauty Everyday

So much joy and pleasure can be ours just by recognizing the beauty of each season; by keeping our eyes open and senses tuned in to the little changes happening all around us in the natural world. I chose my Blog of the Week, Beauty Everyday, precisely because the three talented, creative women behind it – Kristen Bach, Rebecca Wood and Rinne Allen – are committed to seeking out beauty in the little things that surround us.

Beauty Everyday is based in Georgia, and I love their tag line, “Southern beauty, creativity, & food” – doesn’t that just sound delightful? After spending a good part of the morning reading past posts and sipping good strong coffee, I wish I could hop in my car right now and drive down to Georgia to meet these lovely ladies in person!

Each day they post gorgeous diptychs like the ones above, focusing their lenses on everything from rusted-out tin cans and worn wood to wildflowers, mushrooms, and little corners of sky…

And you want to know what’s kind of funny? I actually found the Beauty Everyday blog after falling in love with the little books they sell on Etsy – I just ordered two, but don’t worry! If you want one (and how could you not?), I just noticed they have already restocked their shop!

I think what touches me most about Beauty Everyday is that reading it inspires me to open my eyes and notice the beauty in my own life – the first tinge of flame-red on the leaves outside my window, the creak of the screen door on my front porch, the abundance and generosity of nature. I do hope you will go visit Beauty Everyday this week!

And I would love to know: where are you finding beauty in your life today?
