Settling In

 So, some day I will find all the components to my camera in one place, and get some "real pics" up in this space again. For now, thanks for bearing with me as we (once again) view my world through the "lens" of my phone. 

 

 Not everything in my home is in its most functional state (as you can see I am doing my work from the kitchen table), but I always know I am settling into a place when an ease starts to set in.

 

 New rituals arise and fold into step with how you once did something.

Some things never change no matter where your feet are planted. Like work. Like motherhood. Like the pile of laundry sitting to my right. But, no matter how much is going on it always feels good to see those little indications of settling, rooting...sighing of sinking in. Nothing says that to me more than pretty flowers on my table.

Wishing you a happy weekend!

Bring The Outside- In

Yes, I know normally I am out running around in the wilderness on the weekends. Well, this weekend is full of a lot more domestic excitement for us that has us paging through those many images on Pintrist. Dreaming of rustic farm houses and the simplicity of country design. I thought I would take a break from my domestic duties and  share a few of my finds that I have added to my "To-Make" & "To Find"  home decor list. I know some day this will come in handy!

Changing Table From Yard Sale: $40

Nightlight From Antique Fair: $10

Crib From Yard Sal: $50.00
Bed Skirt From Thrift STore: $2.00

Quiet Corners

Sometimes you just have to stop and take a breath and look around you. That's what I had to do the other day when things just got too...too much. You know, when you just feel cornered?  So, I decided to look around at some of my corners in our living room. And what did I see? Some little sections of my home that brightened my mood, made me rethink my next step, my next thought, my next action and settle myself back into my shoes, back into the Earth. Ahhhh.....

Happy Monday friends. Hope you had a brilliant weekend. Here's to a glorious and peaceful start to another busy week.
