what have you been up to with all of this time on your hands at home? i've been still taking a daily beach walk. looking for sea glass and bits of chips of old plates and tea cups (yes i find alot!) has been a much needed therapy session for me. i recently put in a seashell driveway (myself!) and have been throwing the bits of weathered colored glass into the driveway when i get home. slowly creating a kaleidoscope driveway which makes me insanely happy. hey, it's the little things right now right?!

i also just ordered a bunch of different canvas sizes and brand new tubes of paint. i have some old supplies too but want to prompt myself to get back to painting and right now, i have the luxury of an open ocean right down the street with ever changing weather to put onto canvas. i'll share a few when i'm done.

i hope that you too are finding ways to check it down, focus on the positive, tiny things that make you happy. they all add up :) and some fun finds from around the world wide web, if yer interested. take care!

love this.

i've been searching for dining room chairs. if you have too, here is a clever list of 30.

enjoy!

have a happy weekend!

how are you? i'm on my second batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies in 2 weeks...

(via)
but the first batch i brought to my new neighbors to hopefully cheer them up during these strange days. the second batch is to cheer me up! hey it's the little things right? our comfort things.

in between making cookies, i've been getting outside waaaaaaaaaay more than i ever could (don't worry, i'm walking the beach right down the street from me, it's private and almost no on around), feeding the birds leftover bread, i created a seashell driveway and am digging up my new little lawn to put sod down. what are you doing to pass the time? i hope you are safe and sound.

i'm off for a few days, soaking up some quiet time before a busy month of work ramps up. it's been grey and rainy for quite a while, usually this doesn't zap my energy but for some reason, it is. so to combat that i've been getting in some runs for energy, heading out to places that inspire me. might visit this, this weekend. and in between that trying to just relax!

we are in for a snowy one in my part of the world. might take in a walk here and look for deer tracks. strangely one of my favorite things to do! see lots of deer too, so bonus! and if the snow accumulates enough, might go sledding. plunk a six pack in the snow, meet up with friends on a good hill and voila, a good day! :)
