happy weekend!

(via)

happy weekend everyone! hoping you are embracing the change of the seasons, cozy spaces and with the holidays just around the corner, starting to get into the spirit. this weekend you'll find me starting small paintings of the sea for xmas presents, googling everything i can about visiting scotland (see below!) and sipping red wine under my favorite vermont blanket. 

i hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the heck out of your weekend! 

just booked a spring trip here. cannot wait! might need these shoes in plaid no? ha!

this dress for the holidays. this off the shoulder silk top is fun too. or this in gold with that fringe?

a pretty little pillow cover. 

a pretty little catch all. 

in LOVE with this wall sconce. 

could look at this instagram site all day. i mean this autumn umbrella, and some of her installations, just so gorgeous. 

these porcelain biscuit pendant lights. wowzers.

these would be fantastic for storing my strewn about art supplies.

a dream sofa. another one. ok one more.

i really like the textural element this assemblage wood coffee table offers. their side table is cute too.

a funky bowl.

these remind me of when my mother made chocolate pudding, in glasses like this. 

a shower with a view.

yum.

can extension cords be pretty? yes.

these tea towels.

i love a good serving board. these are current favorites: this, this and this.

happy summer!

(via)

for some reason i can't explain really, i'm enjoying this summer more than in years past. slowing down a little, letting beach days dictate when to pack up and go home, or not. making sure i swim more because swimming in the ocean is rather life changing each and every time you do it. you just feel good climbing out, like something magical has washed over you. that, is the best feeling.

looking forward to a trip here soon, sunset schooner rides, slow summer lunches and ocean views to my hearts content. 

i hope that you are enjoying the heck out of whatever makes summer summer for you. and some fun finds from the world wide web:

hoping you are all having a cozy weekend. with the winter weather and the news, i'm more than ever drawn to curling up at home, lighting more candles than i should and surrounding myself with protective spaces, spaces that warm my mind mostly. if that makes sense.

so! what i'm doing is staying away from the news best i can. i have acoustic guitar christmas music on repeat, i'm peloton-ing myself silly, staring at the extra christmas lights i added to the house this year and yeah, breathing in all of the positive vibes that i can. i hope you are hanging in there. i hope you are able to put some of the crazy on your peripheral and dive head first into everything else that makes you happy, everything else that calms you and gives you hope. it's there if you squint your eyes, trust me i see it! go ahead, squint your eyes. do you see it now? see, i told you. happy holidays, happy new year!🌲
