Savor of the Month (9)

September 2025: Ornamentation

Once again it’s time for Savor of the Month!

For newcomers:

At the start of every month I announce one specific thing to look out for, pay attention to, appreciate. The idea is to convert something everyday and taken for granted into something we might, yes, savor.

And every month I create chat where you can share what you are noticing, or enjoy what others have noticed. You can post pictures, drawings, written observations, whatever works for you. Or just browse!

For September, the subject is Ornamentation: pay attention to ornamentation — defined as you wish: from architectural examples to clothing to a myriad of things I can’t think of — that you encounter as you go about your days.
