happy weekend!

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.

these tea towels.

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

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!

happy friday friends! what are you up to this weekend? are you off to anywhere fun?

(via)
i know alot of people getting away right now, locally or to exotic or far off places. it's that time of year though right? although we are all in a sort of nesting phase, there is a prompt to jump start our year in some new or exciting way. to set a pace or mood or an overall vibe for our new year. if you have purposefully begun your year in a particular way that accomplishes all of that, i'd love to hear!

my weekend does not quite include exotic or far away places but i do feel a road trip coming on. ;) in between that, i hope to start this book, (probably a tough read at times but the reviews are wonderful), i have a small amount to finish my latest tiny ship series (and might draw up a new one!), and i feel some new wardrobe shopping happening too.

wherever you go, whatever you do this weekend, i hope that you have a fabulous time of it! and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

and seriously, this made my entire week.
enjoy!

cheers to the new year!

what are you wishing for in the new year?

(via)
i usually try to keep wishes or goals simple. 2016 was challenging. i found myself purposefully slowing down, opening myself up alot more, in new ways, letting things come to me, letting people, friends, interactions, come to me instead of flying around in search of everything, fast. i'm fast. so i hope to remain a bit more my slowing down self in 2017. i'm experiencing alot more at this speed. and i like that!

oh we all have more goals and wishes than that right? but in keeping with my theme, i'll keep it simple today, to that. i hope that your wishes and goals for 2017 are super positive and amazing. if you'd like to share yours, i'd love to hear! 😁and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

this mirror would also be fun to look into each and every day (especially if you are in a bad mood!).

new year's cocktail recipe.

wise words from carrie fisher.

how was your week? are you travelling soon for thanksgiving or are you hosting the day at home? i'd love to hear! after last week's crazy election anxiety, i've been consciously attempting to listen to inspirational conversation, to become more inspired, more empowered, more positive and creative. here are a couple of conversations that grabbed my attention and time this week: this, & this. and if you're a foodie, these look interesting too.

feeling these for fall

when i imagine fall and fall wardrobes, i can't wait for layering a bit, and that includes jewelry. i stumbled upon california-based midland shop of "well chosen goods" (love that!) through jesse chamberlain's instagram site and was instantly drawn to their very desert inspired jewelry line...

thin gold chokers, dainty turquoise everywhere, chunky wood and fringed leather, there were so many pieces i wanted to grab and run with. just saying...enjoy!
