Adventures and Mishaps in Australia

As always I have a million words in my head... but so few on paper. I decided to break out of my comfort zone and travel to Australia alone. Not really knowing what to expect but anticipating it being a bit uncomfortable. Being alone is hard for me. Although I've... Continue reading

THE PNW AESTHETIC

PNW style seems to be changing... there's an unnamed trend emerging. Artists, designers, photographers, everyday folk like us - all taking inspiration from nature in new ways and translating into our work and life. Dusty plaids and an overabundance of woodgrain is out, and a simpler vibe that pulls from... Continue reading

MAGIC LESSONS WITH ELIZABETH GILBERT

“To yell at your creativity, saying, “YOU MUST EARN MONEY FOR ME!” is sort of like yelling at a cat. It has no idea what you’re talking about, and all you’re doing is scaring it away, because you’re making really loud noises and your face looks weird when you do... Continue reading

These little cactus babies are rocking my world right now! I've decided every girl needs a little bit of hot pink in her life - even me. Years ago, (before Pinterest was a craze) I saw this photo of a kitchen windowsill lined with Harney & Sons tea tins growing... Continue reading

BEDSIDE NEWBORN BASKET

Hi Lee! Thanks for your comment! The desk was a hand-me-down but I believe it was originally purchased from Ikea.

Lists on lists of happy things. Lists of ideas. Doodles. Midnight inspiration. Perfect and imperfect quotes. ... I love notebooks way too much! This one is super cute! :)

LUCY | THEN & NOW

I just love how photography captures the passage of time. One of my favorite past time is looking through photos of Lucy on my computer. Every now and then I will come across a photo and it will remind me of another photo I took a long time ago. Each... Continue reading

THE LITTLE THINGS // NO.60

I'm bringing it back, and it's number sixty to boot. When we first started this blog we wrote a post called 'The Little Things' every week. And right about now, it seems good to have a reason to focus on the good, not the bad. The beautiful, not the ugly.... Continue reading

PROJECT LIFE | JANUARY 2015

52 PROJECT PROGRESS + CHECK SHEET

As I mentioned awhile ago, I decided to embark on a 52 Project with painting. I'm still loving it! I've also realized I like black & white much better than working with color - at least for text. I'm curious to see how this will morph over the course of... Continue reading

Lovely blanket! I love imperfectness of it and the color palette is perfect. I don't think I have a favorite post from 2014 - I love your mix of posts... photography, crafts, small business, all of it. It feels very balanced. But maybe my favorite from 2014 is your podcast!! I love hearing you chat about small business with so many other creative awesome people out there rocking their thing! Look forward to reading and listening in 2015!

Hi Kathleen! Glad you found our little corner of the internet! The bag looked like an old leather briefcase to me, if I remember right it had two compartments inside and a little metal clasp at the top. I had a friend that had been looking for one for awhile so I picked it up for him. I just dusted it off, shined it up with a bit of oil. I think he is using it as a book bag.

7 TIPS FOR SHOPPING AT IKEA
