Illustrator Brooke Barker’s canine is just not the jumpiest or the lickiest canine round, however, as Brooke says, “the most effective issues don’t must be the jumpiest or the lickiest.”
One of the best issues don’t must be the latest or the shiniest or the quickest, both. “I swear there are solely about 5 good ballpoint pens on the earth and so they’re all outdated,” Brooke wrote this week in her e-newsletter, By no means Not Nervous. “And my favourite shirt is the shirt I bought once I performed rec soccer in fourth grade.”
Though the most effective issues don’t at all times seem like the most effective issues, you already know them if you see them. My most-cherished novels are outdated and dog-eared, and once I’m consuming alone, I beeline for a bowl of Cheerios.
And certainly one of my favourite issues about our home is how our lounge home windows are coated with kids’s handprints.
What not-flashy issues do you treasure? The query makes me consider this Kate Baer poem, above. xoxo
P.S. On the lookout for glimmers, and what’s your professional tip?
