Hello and welcome! I’m Charmaine, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. This blog is a celebration of all the things that bring me joy, from the peaceful simplicity of country living to the tactile pleasure of beautiful stationery and my never-ending love for travel.
I’ve always believed in the power of simple pleasures, and that’s exactly what this blog is about — celebrating the things that make life a bit more colorful, meaningful, and fulfilling. Whether it’s the crisp feel of fresh paper under my pen, the vibrant colors of a fresh garden, or the excitement of exploring new destinations, these are the things that light up my world. Here, I share my experiences and passions with the hope of inspiring others to slow down, appreciate life’s simple pleasures, and seek beauty in the everyday.

If you ask me about my happy place, it’s probably sitting down with a beautiful notebook, a fine pen, and a cup of coffee. There’s something magical about the act of writing, and I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetic of quality stationery. From journaling to hand-lettering, I’ll share my favorite tools, tips, and creative projects that keep my love for writing alive.
Living in the countryside has been a dream come true for me. There’s something incredibly grounding about being surrounded by open fields, fresh air, and nature. I’m lucky enough to have a garden that serves as both a peaceful retreat and a creative outlet. Gardening has taught me patience, the joy of growth, and the beauty of nature’s small miracles. Country living has taught me the art of slowing down and appreciating the beauty of simplicity. Through this blog, I’ll share my adventures in country living, gardening journey, and how I’ve learned to find happiness in life’s simplest moments.
Travel is where my heart feels most alive. I love venturing into new places, experiencing different cultures, and tasting the flavors of the world. Every trip is an opportunity to connect with people, learn something new, and make memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s a weekend road trip or a grand international journey, I’ll be sharing my travel experiences, tips, and insights on how to travel with joy, curiosity, and a sense of wonder.
This blog is my creative outlet — a place where I can document the things that light up my life and share them with you. I hope that in reading my posts, you’ll find inspiration to live with intention, savor the little moments, and pursue what makes you happiest. My goal is to create a community of kindred spirits who share a love for life’s beautiful details.
Thank you for being here. I hope you find joy, inspiration, and a little bit of wanderlust in every post. Feel free to reach out, share your thoughts, or simply say hello — I’d love to hear from you!
With love and gratitude,
Charmaine Dulak
