I think that for many of us, 2025 was a complicated year with a lot of loss. But in the words of Albert Einstein, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." The great thing about a new year is that it is a clean slate, a chance to start anew.
So may 2026 be a better year for ourselves, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our country, and our world.
Thanks for following Chinoiserie Chic. This spring my blog will turn 17 years old! Only a fraction of one percent of blogs last this long with 80% abandoned within 18 months. So here's to a happy and hopeful year for all of us.
I think I’ve followed you for all those years! What an inspiring and delightful resource you have been. Please keep humming along. We need your positive spark and pizzazz to remind us to look for beauty, even the bleakest hour. Cheers!
