happy weekend!

happy weekend! hope you are doing everything you want to this weekend! you'll find me spring cleaning the house, sleeping in and eating pizza at my favorite spot, because pizza 😁 i'm also transitioning into a new position at work, so preparing for that change which feels like a very right move. (don't you love that feeling when you can find it!?). 

i hope that you are in a good place too! and some fun finds from around the world wide web:

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.

and some fun finds from around the world wide web if you are interested...

very cool white loafers.

an amazing before and after.

summer earring love. (if i could afford them, ha!)

during my stay at home time, i get outside for fresh air every day. dreaming of breezy patio days via this post.

reeeeeeeeeally enjoying these original artworks. oh, and the tiles too!

hi, how are you?

just checking in to see how you are?

(via)
this quiet time we are all in is something that we have all probably never experienced in our lifetime. i feel like everything around me is on hold, when will i see my son next, when i can have new neighbors over for dinner, when will i get my hair cut again? some things (like trips to the hair salon) seem selfish but they were all of our little pleasures, our small luxuries during busy work months and long winter weekends. treats.

i started a large embroidery project a month ago that has sat since i moved into my new house. i'm in the middle of a large writing project that has gone untouched. i have not hung one thing on the walls of my new house. my basement is still in boxes. i think we are all in disbelief in some way that we have been forced to pause. it took me some time to understand that i HAD to. and so i literally did. i strangely put everything on pause to adjust. i've been taking long beach walks, turning off the t.v. and being quiet, listening to jazz music on repeat.

on my walks i see other people, alot of other people, though from a distance. everyone is trying to get outside, breathe in cool clean air. i see families, many more families than i ever have, walking together, staying close to each other, talking, protecting each other. when i catch certain people's eyes, we are all saying the same thing in one smile, hi, how are you? take care.

i'm getting ready to open some boxes now, to pick up my writing, to get my head back in some sort of regular routine, adjusting to this strange new existence that we are all in. how are you? if anyone would like to chat, let me know! find me on instagram and dm me to say hi. i hope you are well and finding activities that make you feel content and happy.

and some fun finds from around the world wide web if you are interested!

plush furniture is everywhere these days. how gorgeous are these chairs?

this plush line is to die for too. that couch!

i'm feeling the itch to bring more color into my spaces, step away from so many neutrals. this rug would do the trick.

loving the color & line in this lacquered pair as well.

we are all cooking at home more these days, so this line up of winter soups is on my recipe radar.

feeling crafty? this site has some fun craft/dyi ideas, like these origami easter bunnies.

concerts here, (my favorite venue) are on hold, but their pop-up virtual concerts are a treat for now!

enjoy!

hello! i bought a house!

(via)
alot has happened in my world. i bought a house near the wild open ocean (not the house above but how gorgeous is that wall?!). bought this car (dream), started buying grown up furniture (just bought this leather chair and am in love) and have generally been seen walking the beach every chance i get, staying in waaaaaay more and listening to the quiet. pure love.
