the sweet

going lightly

here's a look at this morning's breakfast.. a small dish of homemade applesauce.

see you all soon.. toodles!

today has been a day of tip-toeing.. and i finally found myself doing so up in the attic space, which my roommate and i will soon turn into our own little studio space. here's a glimpse at what i saw while i was up there poking around and for once enjoying how much warmer it is compared to the second floor..

this one could be.. no, it most certainly is, the niftiest.

i wouldn't go so far as to say that i've grown to love the yellow pattern of the kitchen counter in the house that i grew up in, but seeing it here certainly sparks a little something different.. i think it's something about the peaches ripening on the plate, which i also grew an instant affinity for yesterday, and seeing the plate atop the counter. some days, it's all around..

very attracted to this collection and this collection.. i guess it's all the moments of peter pans, window washers, and mary poppins that sort of hit that core of dreamy and childlike.

i also want to share this poem via the glass doorknob.

this super simple juicing tip just about made my day. i hope it makes yours too. it's beautiful here - once again - and i've been beckoned to return for an evening on the farm.

loving almost every look in this spring 2009 collection..

enjoy the day.

sprinkling

it finally cooled off enough so that i can stand in the kitchen comfortably with the oven on for baking. good thing, because i had some apples that were beginning to look pretty sad. perfect for applesauce and muffins! and so i did. the applesauce turned out super delicious, and so did these rad muffins. just look at them!

i'm a pretty big fan of this blog.. she posts gorgeous photos of her everyday life.. and how adorable is this lamp her boy designed for a children's room..

adorable.

nod in the breeze

so it is now ungodly hot. second floor living begins to take its toll. but we have figs! so happy to see them at the grocery store today. i brought them home and found myself a nice spot on the back porch. couldn't have enjoyed anything better.

new ways of living

i feel as though i've been caught in a festival of moving lately.. between myself and my brothers, it's been a constant battle of emotions of feeling unsettled and settled. i'm loving my new place every day.. this is a look at the second bedroom, which is empty now, but will fill up soon enough. my roommate has been measuring, and i guess what she doesn't realize yet, is that i find overhead globes left on chairs in the middle of empty rooms quite nice.. and i'm really loving the light too.

enjoy the holiday!
