February is here! I’m back to the school grind. This semester I’m taking two fashion design classes and a class on art and thought during the 20th century. It should be an interesting and challenging semester. And I’m not sure why, but the flood of pinks and bright colors that this month brings is kind [...]
A few days ago an email from Jeska popped into my inbox. I knew something wonderfully lovely would be waiting inside and I was right! Jeska has set herself the challenge of creating a unique matchbox every day for the month of February. She’s doing this to support her Valentine who is running the London [...]
Yesterday was the last day of work for my best work pal and friend, Abby. She’ll be very missed but I’m really excited about the new adventure she’s about to have. Her leaving has made me wish I were better at writing letters. Maybe there’s something about putting pen to paper that makes me wish [...]
Today I’m trying out a new kind of post. It’s going to be a snippet of inspiration built around a photo. (I hope that makes sense!) In this post the photo inspiration comes from a photo of Queen Elizabeth walking her corgis. When I was little I read a book about Queen Elizabeth and her [...]
Snow, rain, snow, ice, and more snow. That’s what things have looked like around here for the past week. I like winter weather and the way it makes hibernating indoors with warm blankets, comfort food, and good books extra appealing. Wow, this post is starting to sound very lazy. But I don’t mind admitting, that [...]
I love this being on holiday from schoolwork! It means that for now I can spend my Saturdays working on whatever project or recipe strikes my fancy. Friday afternoon, I spied this recipe for apple sharlotka on Smitten Kitchen and it looked so good (and easy) I thought I’d give it a shot. The recipe was [...]
We’re supposed to be getting heaps of snow over the next few days and I am so excited! If it’s going to be winter we should have snow. I thought I’d take a little break from looking at the storm map to share three things I’m loving this week. I ordered this shirt while it was on [...]
All this extra time that being on break from school has meant more time for finding neat things on the internets. This week’s loves are a little hodge podge from all over. Starting with the most gorgeous home tour I’ve seen in ages, via Design*Sponge. The photos make me want to curl up in a [...]
I came across some lovely new-to-me blogs this past year and though I’ve probably mentioned them a few times, I thought I would highlight three of them today: Apple a Day, Grainline, and Junkaholique. Apple a Day belongs to Amy Merrick and it’s the most perfect place filled with photos of stunning flowers. Really the photos [...]
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a brand new lip balm/eye shadow/you can fill in the blank with your favorite beauty item. This week’s (belated) Favorites post is all about things for that wonderful “new beautifying things” feeling. I picked out a bunch of lovely things, perfect for filling stockings of making a little [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
