Illustrator Brooke Barker’s dog shouldn’t be the jumpiest or the lickiest canine round, however, as Brooke says, “the most effective issues don’t need to be the jumpiest or the lickiest.”
One of the best issues don’t need to 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 previous,” Brooke wrote this week in her e-newsletter, Never Not Nervous. “And my favourite shirt is the shirt I acquired once I performed rec soccer in fourth grade.”
Though the most effective issues don’t at all times look like the most effective issues, you realize them if you see them. My most-cherished novels are previous 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 house is how our front room home windows are lined with kids’s handprints.
What not-flashy issues do you treasure? The query makes me consider this Kate Baer poem, above. xoxo
P.S. Looking for glimmers, and what’s your pro tip?
