Bookstore Vibes: Spring 2021
While flipping through books is fun, browsing stationery and fancy items is equally delightful. 🖊️ Seeing this miniature in the desk decoration corner reminded me of a local I met in Paris by the Eiffel Tower years ago.

A Packed Week
While eating, one friend sent a photo from a Friday night gathering, and another shared a picture of a dinner prepared for her newly promoted husband.

You Can’t Hurry Love
In a sunlit, serene countryside church in the east, a bride who was all smiles saying ‘Yes, I’m happy.’ just ten minutes ago, suddenly jumps up in the waiting room and runs outside. Of course, just like the album cover suggests, she’s already got her sneakers on, so running is no problem. With the sun…
