This past weekend we had a visit from a good friend from our college days. Like we always do, she and I talked books and swapped a few favorites. I borrowed this one and passed on I Capture the Castle and The Night Circus to her. When asked for a book recommendation, I Capture the Castle is [...]
Today’s Loves are all interesting posts and blogs that I’ve come across lately. But first here’s a photo I took on my way out the door yesterday morning. A pretty valentine’s rose. It’s so hearty! A week later and it still looks and smells wonderful. I’m going to try to start a cutting from it, [...]
I’m just going to write this and hope I don’t jinx myself. This semester is going SO well! There I said it. I’ve been getting all of my work done throughout the week and only have small projects for the weekend. Most gloriously of all I feel like I’m learning something. Maybe because I’ve been [...]
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 [...]
I could really write a post on twenty pretty blogs or maybe even forty. There are so many good ones these days! I made myself narrow it down to five and they are five really good ones! They’re a mix of old faithfuls and new finds. I hope you’ll maybe discover a new favorite blog [...]
This week I’m keeping my To Make and To Do lists pretty simple. I have a whole bunch of goals for the summer so here’s to ticking off two more! To Make I’m making time to read books. I used to read just for fun all the time in high school and college, but this [...]
Happy Wednesday! I’m just popping in to share some things I’m loving today, enjoy! I haven’t made a wishlist in a while and when I noticed a lot of things that looked pretty together hanging out in my Etsy favorites I thought it would be fun to put one together. Here’s what I’ve been window [...]
Today was hot, ridiculously hot for October! Cors collapsed in a panting heap as soon as we got home from our walk. I had to run some errands and I ended up coming home with lovely, dark purple mums and the most perfect little pumpkin. They’re nice little reminders that it is fall. I feel [...]
I just love this beautiful, bookish Etsy shop called Retro Reading! It’s a gorgeously curated collection of vintage books. The photographs are exquisite and the collections are so thoughtfully put together, some in stacks of different shades of the same colors others is in the perfect set of three…it makes me think that my bookshelves [...]
It’s hard to believe, but today is the very last post in the reading List series. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have and maybe you’ve even found a new favorite! And if you missed the first two you can check them out over here and here. Enjoy!
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
