Had an amazing thrift score the other day!  This was all from the same store and was all under $15.  Those planter pots are just about the coolest ones Ive ever seen.  The top wooden thing is handmade and has the artists name burned on the bottom.  I'm assuming its a utensil holder, but I'm sure it will get filled up with incense, feathers or others things of that nature.  And I'm a sucker for old punched brass.  I love the way candles flicker through them.  And old wooden bowls.  I have... alot of weaknesses. 

During James times off we took a 3 hour spontaneous hill country drive.  It was the best time.  Just being together, driving through the beautiful hills.  We only saw about one other car the whole drive.  It's so nice when you do…

During James times off we took a 3 hour spontaneous hill country drive.  It was the best time.  Just being together, driving through the beautiful hills.  We only saw about one other car the whole drive.  It's so nice when you don't have anyone tailing you and you can just cruise at your own pace and take in your surroundings.

I made french toast one morning while he was off too.  It's not very often we get to have breakfast together, so it was a huge treat.  And oh so yummy!

I'm back to making shakes everyday.  I took, um... a really long time off of having them.  It feels good to get back to nurturing my body in good ways.

We took the table and canopy off our porch recently, and one morning while James was off he woke up before I did and surprised me with a pillow palette on the porch to have my morning coffee on!  It was so sweet.  And Violet was a big fan …

Found this pretty little feather the other day.  My camera picked up a blue hue on its spine, but in person its just grey.  I thought that was interesting though.  And I love this sweet little ring from Silk Bone Jewels.

I finally got evidence that Bella tries to steal my eggs every morning.  Literally, every morning.  Wherever I eat, she is up on my stuff constantly trying to get to my eggs.

My favorite spot in the house.  This moon.  These windows.  Twinkle lights.  Heaven.

Hello monday!  Ive been tackling a forever long to-do list, praying my computer won't crash before I get the new one up and running, and also feeling a wave of fresh energy wash over me.  I don't have much time to put into today's post, so I'm just going to leave with a super cute little number from one of my favorite designers, Junim LA.  Can't wait to share a whole spread on them in the upcoming Bohemian Collective magazine!!!  16 days away from the release, eeek!!! 

High five to waking up to a new day and feeling a renewed sense of self.  *exhale*

A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME

via rootsandfeathers.com

The time has come that I have dreaded for over 3 years now.  My parents home is officially up for sale.  Lately I have met myself with all sorts of emotions about things in life.  The reality of certain people, places and things only being in our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  Sometimes these things are easy to let go of, and sometimes they feel so hard to let go of that it might take a lifetime, or two or three, to move on from them.  Even when you know in your heart that closing that door will be the best thing for you to truly move on in life.  I'm finding in some areas of life, those doors may just be too damn heavy for me to close all the way, and that I have to learn to dance with life when the light fades through the cracks and I'm faced with only my heart thoughts in the darkness.  Dancing in the dark can be thrilling, but it can also be messy.  You can stumble over things you didn't know were there, fall and scrape your knees, sometimes knock yourself out unconscious if you fall just right. 

These messy parts though, I don't entirely mind the discomfort that they bring.  They are full of life.  Maybe not the I'm-so-happy-I-just-want-to-sing-while-I-sweep-the-floors kind of life, but there is a tale of life within them.  Life is both that lucky ol' sun who gets to roll around heaven all day, and also the shadows that blanket the earth, revealing the parts of our hearts that go unseen by the light of the moon.

This is me, standing in witness of my need to dance in the dark right now.
