little things - hands


Little things that make our world. Things I want to capture, tuck away and peek at another day....and smile.

A lady beetle took a liking to him. 
She painted his toe nails in the morning sun. *
Salad stealing.
Beautiful girls and old school champagne glasses.
Afternoon milk.
Beloved Nana.

* I have discovered that the only way I can manage time to paint my own toe nails is to  hand my honey girl a tiny bottle of something glittery and leave her to it.  Her careful artwork  never lasts the day as play and a good srcub in the bath washes it away.

  3. Such a lovely idea, to focus on hands - so intimate. We've been experimenting with nail polish as well - my little girl insists on painting my nails, but we've also been painting with it on cards. Love those chubby little fingers!

  5. These are sweet...I love hands. Like the eyes, they can tell stories without any words.

    The first night I met my husband, I noticed his hands when he passed a drink to me....I fell in love with him at that very moment. :)

    Hope you have a beautiful day ~
