About Simply Susan

Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

Whatsoever Things Are Lovely...



A long time ago, as he neared the end of his life, a man named Paul wrote these words:-
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report. If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.

In these challenging times that we find ourselves living in, these words are very appropriate and encouraging to me.
A short dose of the News via TV, radio or newspaper is enough to depress the most optimistic of souls, whereas a few moments focusing on the things listed above can really lift one's spirits.
In case you don't have access to the incredible beauty of a Poinsettia bush, let me share mine with you. During winter months the vibrant, deep colours and form of these plants lifts my heart in delight and praise.

Be encouraged!
Simply, Susan
