the little things



Fretting over a missed deadline or dirty dishes seems a bit monotonous when there are beautiful flowers to be admired.


On Wednesday we made a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up a few things we were missing for dinner and the checkout lines were lined with these colorful bouquets. I couldn’t resist bringing one home with us.



Now they are sitting prettily on our table and my to-do list has been conveniently misplaced.

An Enid Collins work of art

Last week while thrifting with my mom, I found this handbag.




It’s a bit beat up (some missing petals and stones) but I hope someone will want to add it to their collection. It’s already listed in my shop.

our daily visitor


This little guy has been visiting our front lawn for about a month now.


I have no idea where he lives, and every time I attempt to catch him he reminds me just how fast rabbits can be.

Etsy Love

I treated myself to these earrings last week.




I wore them to our 4th of July party and I love how lovely and light they are. They definitely snagged a spot on the favorite earrings section in my jewelry box.


p.s. Reverie Studio is offering free domestic shipping for the entire month of July.

Victoria

Let me introduce you to the newest member of our typewriter family.


Her name is Victoria.


I found her sitting on a thrift store shelf, surrounded by broken keyboards and fat computer monitors. Saying she stuck out like a sore thumb is putting it mildly.


I ditched the cart I was pushing (like I need any more books!) and maneuvered my way across the aisle to her. I peeked at her price tag, thanked my lucky stars that thrift store employees apparently think a 1980’s computer monitor is worth more than a mid century Royal typewriter and hightailed it out of there!
