5 things that bring me joy this week

You can check out the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here. It’s a collection of seemingly insignificant things that remind us to appreciate the little things—those small joys that make a difference in our daily lives.

The week is slowly creeping towards the weekend (today felt especially slow), and I’m ready for it. I don’t have much to share from the week so far, other than a few exciting things below. So with that said, here’s what’s bringing me joy this week:

this butter-soft belt. I bought it in “azzurra blue” and “rosa”, and I wish I had also gotten it in “bruciato”. I also wish it came in more colors because they’re so good!
moody weather. It’s a nice change after weeks and weeks of scorching sun.
rediscovering a hobby on which I touched upon here. The rainy mornings we’ve had this past weekend gave me the idea to pick up from where I left off last summer, and it’s safe to say that I’ve been on a roll since. Yep, this brings me joy.
an adorable plant stand to finish whichever way I please. I’m not necessarily a crafty person, but I came across this unfinished wood plant stand on a supply run this past weekend, and I couldn’t resist it. Clearly, when I get in the mood, I can’t stop myself… I haven’t decided on the colors yet, but I can’t wait to transform it. FYI, it comes in other shapes like this monstera leaf and this butterfly. P.S. I also couldn’t resist this cute ceramic “paper” bag vase.
noodle soup. Weird one? It must be the rainy weather that put me in the mood for noodle soup. Comfort for the body and soul, always, and yes, joy, too.
