My back porch is just about my favorite place.  I have my coffee on it most mornings, watching the sun peek through through the trees, saying good morning to the frogs that sleep in my potted plants, letting Bella & Violet out to stretch their legs and roll around in the grass, simply greeting the day.  Almost always greeted by winged creatures, usually hummingbirds, cardinals, scrubjays and the occasional woodpecker in the distance.  The sun peeks through the timbers of my teepee and the gypsy garland I made from leftover bell bottom scraps.  It's my favorite time of day.

I come out to my back porch or yard several times a day to stop and stretch, do some yoga, or just leaning over to touch my toes, or throwing my hands up in the air in prayer to the freedom of living in the country after staring into a screen for a bit too long, so thankful I have this sanctuary to walk right into any time I need the silence. 

I love evenings out here too.  All the bugs come out and sing their songs, the frogs wake up from their slumber and hop all over the porch, the stars also come out of slumber. 

I wouldn't trade this space for the city any day.  I love this outfit post b/c it captures my space and the feeling I get in it so well.  xo

We have a brand new tee in the shop!!!  WILD RIVER -- the way I designed the layout though it can read as WILD FLOWER - RIVER SPIRIT or WILD RIVER - FLOWER SPIRIT.  Oh my heart.  I'm seriously in love with the style and fit of this tee.  It's the perfect casual loose fit tee.  These babies are super limited quantity right now, and only come in size S-L at the moment.  We are trying to slowly build up a few ready made items in the shop so everything is not pre-order.  So, this first batch is ready to ship asap (only a few of each size)...

FIND THEM HERE...

The beautiful jewelry in these photos is from the one and only Sailor's Omen, who just happened to release her brand new website today!

Everything outside has been so beautiful lately with spring here and the off and on rain we have had.  Weve been rearranging our outside space alot lately, and Ive been capturing little bits of it along the way.  The other day I was stopped in my tracks with the beauty that was going on around me outside, so grabbed my camera, stepped outside, and just started snapping away at things.  Butterflies were fluttering around everywhere.  It was a moment of everyday magic for sure.  Here is a little photo diary of it.

MY HEART BELONGS IN THE WOODS

I took these photos about 10 minutes after returning from staying the night at my Nanna's for her birthday.  It was such a joy to get to spend the night with her, celebrating her and being with her, and my other family.  I wouldn't trade those moments for anything.

Anytime we visit the city, whether its to see family or to go grocery shopping, I feel a sigh of relief in my body when I return home.  (Not at all from leaving the people that I love, but from the bustling of the city).  The traffic to get from here to there, the busyness of it all, the almost getting in an accident almost everytime your on the highway... By the time I get from point A to point B, my nerves are shot.  I literally feel wound up inside.  I'm not sure why I am so sensitive to it.  I'm sure most people are not like that.  Although James is too, and we are kind of like opposites. 

The first thing I did when I got home, was brew a pot of coffee, and take a walk outside on my very small piece of land that I live on.  We have a tiny little strip of trees next to our house that we get to call our own.  Luckily no houses are on the two lots next to us, so I get to pretend they are mine too, as long as no one is looking ;) 

I daydream of the day we have a home with at least 5 acres.  James and I both grew up in homes in the country with acres of land to roam around in.  I had 22 acres of wild growing woods, and James had several acres of creek bed, cliffs and woods.  We both yearn for that kind of space in our home.  This past year I have done a good share of daydreaming of our 'dream home'.  So far, all the ones Ive fallen in love with have sold.  But I am reminding myself that when we are ready to make the jump into that home, it will become available for us.  Its just waiting for us to be ready, b/c right now we are not.  This year, we are both determined to work hard, be very wise with our spending and saving, make good choices financially, and work step by step towards that dream of ours.  It won't magically happen.  Although, it will take some magic!  A good combo of Magic + Hard Work.  I have faith in both.  Working with spirit, and allowing spirit to work with you. 

For now I will fully enjoy and embrace our little piece of land, while still allowing myself to daydream for the future.
