This afternoon during a break between projects I cleared a space on my little table and sat down with a fresh magazine, a soft pillow, and a plate of cheese and crackers. Mm…
The magazine is Elle Decoration UK and inside I came across a lovely little article on simple pleasures, jazzed up with the sweetest illustrations. I decided to find out who the illustrator was, and…
…her name is Jenny Bowers. In her bio, Jenny says that her work “reflects her love of pattern, drawing, painting, cutting and sticking” – how refreshingly honest, no? I love an artist who obviously has fun with their work! Aren’t her illustrations so sweet and cheerful? I love the bright raspberry pattern, and now I want to hunt down that book just because the cover is so adorable!
I hope I’ve inspired you to take a little break today and surround yourself with yummy things – like, perhaps a bowlful of this silky, decadent old-school chocolate mousse from Smitten Kitchen? Enjoy yourself!

I’m so following your lead on Sunday when I’ll finally have a breather. We have a little wedge of Brie and some crackers that are calling my name.
