seven things on a Saturday, vol. 4

seven things on a Saturday, vol. 4

Hello, and happy Saturday, friends!  It’s been a busy few months, and while I have been writing periodically, nothing has felt quite finished enough to post for awhile – hence the dust that’s been collecting around here.  But it’s a beautiful fall day today; the windows are open, the breeze is perfect, and a few…

adventures in Brooklyn, vol. 9

adventures in Brooklyn, vol. 9

Summer has arrived in earnest here, and with it, the antiquated air conditioner which comes with my furnished apartment.  Fortunately, it has not been super-hot (yet) with the exception of one or two days, so I have not (yet) had to use the air conditioner on a regular basis.  I’m grateful for this, as it…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
