hi, popping on this week to wish you a happy, dreamy holiday week. we are turning the corner soon, can you feel it?! and i woke up the other day and my foot was no longer swollen, leg is healing, days are slowly starting to get longer and there is a vaccine. so many amazing things to look forward to. i hope you are feeling positive and hopeful. enjoy the heck out of your holidays!

i hope you all have a cozy weekend. what are you up to? anything fun? me and my broken leg are hold up for a bit, sadly. so i'll talk about what i'm missing right about now, beach walks, sitting outside under a blanket watching the planes, riding my bike just anywhere, and walking into my favorite pizza place. but alas this is temporary, as i hope this virus is and all of us being so detached. let's think positive thoughts this weekend, find fun and comfort in all of the small things.

enjoy!

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!

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.

i'm taking my son to see this, this weekend. then we are grubbing down on pasta at one of our favorite little joints and getting even fancier by staying overnight in a new hotel. i mean rooftop heated igloos? can't wait!

but it's also a long weekend in my part of the world. so you'll find me writing, running, sewing and sipping some good red wine. yes! whatever you do, wherever you go, enjoy! and it's friday saturday so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

how fun are these cushion covers?

really like this stone vessel.

this jewelry line is the prettiest i've seen in some time.

too cool for stools.

this christmas tree blows my mind! LOVE THIS.

this lighting line might be my new favorite.

this chandelier is pretty darn eye catching too.

blouse love.

i've been bringing a variety of rice bowls to work, almost every day. this would be perfect for toting.

this porcelain bowl is wow.

this faux leather trench would be pretty for spring.

a pretty sweater for spring too.

cold picnic: rug love

seriously loving the rugs coming out of cold picnic right now...

"cold picnic was formed in 2010 by partners phoebe sung and peter buer, both of whom have backgrounds in fine arts and worked in corporate fashion design" and you can see all of that in the pattern and color play. i am drawn to the ways in which color line or blocks of color are positioned or just how they align or smash up against one another. i also love the leaving of open color space in the rugs.

can i please have one of each? see more choices here & enjoy!
