The Small Things: A Book of Days
Once my life swirled with activity. One thing that gave me daily pleasure was my annual South of France: A Book of Days by Sara Midda. All eight well-used datebooks sit on a bookshelf, offering records of long-gone obligations, friends, doctors, appointments, work, even pets.What stays, however, and what I continue to admire is the work of Sara Midda. Based on her delightful little book South of France: A Sketchbook, the datebook captures miniature moments of a place I've never been but well imagine and enjoy nevertheless.
If only I could capture something of Midda's painterly remembrances of the small moments that bring delight.
