Hello, and welcome to Sunday Sundries! I’m here to ramble on about my week, it helps me be grateful and to “celebrate” all the small (and large) extraordinary moments in my life. It all began with My Word for 2015, and it has served me so well this year, I may take it into 2016.
When I started Sunday Sundries, I envisioned people linking blog posts, or IG photos, or Flickr photos here on my blog … but that hasn’t happened.
Ninety-nine percent use Instagram only … so I’ve decided to go with it. Blogging (for me) is about learning, and growing, and seeing where it takes me … however, I will have to say that lately I’ve felt a bit more challenged with the changes, but I’m working on it … oh, have you signed up for Blogging Bits and Bytes? It’s a free course where I hope to inspire you to love blogging as much as I do. It starts September 29th.
It’s extremely hard to choose four images to feature, but I realized it was something I had to do … people were expecting it! So here are four favourites posted to #sunday_sundries … I think I’m trying to hold on to summer … please help me celebrate the work of these four talented artists:

So what else am I celebrating?
Well, last week as I was sipping my coffee and slowly reading (savouring) my Bella Grace Magazine, I thought to myself what if I turned a page and found one of my own photos? It was just a thought … a dream-filled thought … but imagine my shock when I did see one!
Photo of The Photo!
I swear this is the absolute truth, I did not know it was there. Last summer I tagged a photo of my peonies to #bellagracemagazine @bellagracemagazine and then forgot about it … but anyway, now I’m bursting … bursting … and I plan to submit more to this amazing magazine. I also encourage you to dream your own dream and follow it! It may sound cliche … but it works!
I’m also celebrating:
- Our amazing, memorable trip through the Canadian Rockies. I’ve written two posts about it and there’s more to come.
- Emerald Lake Lodge … ’nuff said.
- Arriving back home to find we had received 2 inches of rain.
- The fresh new blooms in my garden as a result of that rain.
- Autumn is around the corner, and our trees are turning colour.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful week!
that is SO cool! congrats!
JUST signed up for the blogging course Barb. I seem to have lost my voice….I even know when it happened. I miss blogging. Congrats on the Sunday Sundries….such beautiful images. I could never choose. AND SOOOO exciting about Bella Grace. How amazing to open a magazine and see your photo between the pages. (big puffy heart)
I’m so happy you signed up Kelly! I hope I’m able to inspire you to blog once again, I always enjoyed your posts! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Blogging is very different from Instagram, or so I’ve heard – I’ve not ventured over to Instagram. I do enjoy good writing and good photography, so blogging seems best for me.
Love the photos you posted here.
Oh what a grand surprise to find your photo in Bella Grace…I love your story! Congrats Barb! Lovely choices for “sunday_sundries”! I’m off to check out your blogging class.
Wow, I am so happy for you and what excitement!! Bella Grace is just simply a gorgeous magazine and your work fits so perfectly in there.
Very happy to hear that they have found you!
