♥ I am so in love with the Etsy community. Moreover, I’m in love with the people that are a part of it. The sellers (+ buyers!) who join Etsy are generous, thoughtful, and creative people who take pleasure in helping others succeed. I’ve never sensed a competition among sellers. In fact, there’s a common [...]

♥ Tea for three, and three for tea. This afternoon we had our friend Marsha over for a bit of a tea party. One is never too old or too busy for a little tea, I’d say. We sipped while we chatted and stayed out of the cold { it’s been snowing in tiny spurts [...]

♥ Ryan + I attended a mix cd party last night! Each person brought a mix that they made and plopped it down with the rest on the coffee table in the center of the party. Throughout the night the cds were played and when you left you got to take one home with you! [...]

♥ I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a favourite actress. But recently I’ve been really charmed by Shirley MacLaine’s older films. Somewhere between her pixie perfect looks, her sweet + subtle sound, and the way she can be both goofy and graceful is just so inspiring! She plays a convincing role whether she’s a [...]

♥ Here’s a little song to keep your Saturday lovely! Listen to it while you do your dishes, start your next knitting project, or while you play with your kitties + feel cozy in your home! I’ve got plenty on my To Do list today, so I can’t stay to chat, but I hope you’re [...]

♥ I love, love, love this song. I mean, how could I not? It’s so much fun! I’m considering listening to this on repeat while I clean up the house today…aaaand, you should, too. {I won’t tell, if you don’t!} Have a lovely afternoon! xx.
Paint By Numbers | Things I Love!

♥ Paint By Numbers, how can you go wrong? Well, clearly it’s not the best, most profound, or most skillful art, but there is something about the aesthetic of a good ol’ paint by numbers painting that I find really appealing. Maybe it’s the muted colour pallet that they all seem to have, or the [...]

♥ Although I don’t have cable, I am so enamored by ABC’s new show Pan Am. The culture of the Jet Age is so interesting to me! The success driven ladies that are represented by this TV show were braving society’s expected role for them by breaking out of the pattern that their mothers and [...]

I’ve done the hair bow (a la Gaga) before, but never like this! ♥ A couple of years ago I was really into hair bows. It was fun + festive, but I wish I had thought of the above option on my own. This way is just as adorable, and much less eye catching than [...]
