Authentic Aesthetic. This is my new term to describe truly beautiful things.
Truly beautiful things can be found anywhere – in the creek, in the garden, in antique store, at a garage sale, probably not at your local big box, unless you are buying plants. Boxwoods are authentic aesthetic. So are holly trees and coleus. And Astilbe. And a concrete birdbath after it has aged.
Authentic Aesthetic has character and a story to tell. It will be around a long time or a short time spreading much joy. Go out this weekend and find authentic aesthetic and let me know what you find.
