Perfection often feels out of reach. But however imperfect you’re finding life, you can make an effort to find #OnePerfectThing. Something which makes you pause, smile and feel thankful.
#OnePerfectThing is a community I started on Instagram last May. I started it as a little project to remind myself to feel happy every day. And I’m so happy it’s inspiring others to look for the little happy moment in life too!
April was a month of blossom, mini eggs and flowers from the garden. The weather didn’t always behave, but we had some really gorgeous days and hardly any April showers. I love the way that the colour palette changes with every month. April was full of pinks, purples and blues – cherry blossom, tulips and forget-me-nots.
There’s been a lot of grumbling about Instagram lately. Mainly, about how it’s losing the authentic, friendly feeling it once had – that algorithms are crushing the natural camaraderie of the space. I agree with this in some ways, but it’s still possible for us to enjoy creating our own little communities within it. So let’s keep on sharing what we love.
Here are my favourites from April!

I will have to join in with One Perfect Thing over on Instagram. I am on there as lynn.vintagehabit.
I have over recent months met up with Instagram friends for the first time and we had the best days out ever and we now have new friends for life.
If I come across anyone putting on moan groany or mr angry posts I just stop following them. That’s the very reason I went off Facebook. Instagrammers are such an inspirational friendly bunch I find

Oh thanks Lynn – it would be wonderful to see your photos! I agree, moaning is something I don’t want to see on IG! x
