SHE LEFT BEAUTY WHEREVER SHE WENT

IN MY MOTHER-IN-LAW'S PANTRY HANGS A SIGN THAT SAYS,
"SHE LEFT BEAUTY WHEREVER SHE WENT."
I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE GAVE JALAYNE THIS SIGN OR IF SHE BOUGHT IT HERSELF, BUT THIS SIX WORD SAYING DEFINES HER PRECISELY.
MY MOTHER IN LAW IS BEAUTIFUL. IN EVERYWAY SHE IS FEMININE AND CHRISTLIKE, AND HER BEAUTY RADIATES EVERYWHERE SHE GOES.
HER HOME IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL- HANDCRAFTED BY HER. SHE SELECTED EVERY DETAIL, IN EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THIS PLACE.
EVERY TIME I COME TO VISIT I TAKE TOUR- WALKING SLOWLY FROM ONE ROOM TO THE NEXT, BREATHING IN THE DETAILS, STUDYING EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE, EVERY RUG AND PIECE OF ART, THE WAY THE TILES WERE LAID, AND THE COLOR SCHEMES JALAYNE HAS CREATED.












MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS HOUSE THOUGH IS HOW EVERY SPACE IS BEAUTIFUL: THE PANTRY, THE LAUNDRY ROOM, THE KITCHEN SINK, EVERY BATHROOM, AND EVEN OUTSIDE.
ALTHOUGH HAVING BEAUTIFUL THINGS DOESN'T BRING HAPPINESS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SEEING THEM DOES. I LOVE TO PERUSE INSPIRING STORES EVEN WHEN I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BUYING ANYTHING BECAUSE JUST SEEING BEAUTIFUL THINGS INSPIRES CREATIVITY AND EXCITEMENT INSIDE ME. -AND MARK MY WORD- THIS HOUSE IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
