have a cozy sunday!

(via)

hi, here's to hoping you are cozy this weekend. digesting lots of holiday comfort food, adjusting to the seasonal change and getting into the holiday spirit. for some reason i'm not in xmas panic mode. i've slowed down this year, enjoying walking local main streets, and poking and shopping for more special gifts. it just feels nice. 

i'm also reading this cover to cover, mapping out our route, getting the main aspects booked (flight done!) like car rental, places to stay etc, then let the wandering in between begin. cannot wait!

and if you are doing some internet surfing like me, some fun finds from around the world wide web:

these terrazzo wall hooks. yes please. these are pretty too. 

i want this coat bad. 

a gorgeous floor lamp.

i will miss summer like you read about, but i'm ready for the change. for comfy sweaters and my leather boots. for long walks on the beach without almost seeing anyone in sight. i'm hoping you are enjoying your weekend and the weather and all of the things that make you happy.

happy stormy sunday in my part of the world. we are so far, successfully dodging what was forecasted as a hurricane. we are experiencing fairly high winds off and on heavy then light rain and beautiful rolling ocean waves and all of that is making me slow down today and appreciate the power of nature and the beauty of where i live.

spring is here, can you feel it? after the crazy year that was 2020, i feel that we are all opening up, like cracking out of an egg shell and that everything is looking fresh and new again. so if we gain that perspective after all is said and done, i guess that's pretty neat.
