This 132-year-old book has been around longer than any human alive! When it was printed, there were no radios or airplanes, and almost all Americans still lit their homes with candles and gas. 🕯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two things I love about this book are:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖋 1. Its mysterious inscription. Written in an elegant script on the inside of the cover is “Hoogstraat 1887”. The book, though, says “copyright 1889”. So how could Hoogstraat have written an inscription in 1887?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿 2. The plants that someone over the last century and a half decided to press within its pages. My favorite is the four-leaf clover!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book, and dozens of other treasures, are available at basilandgold.com! Link in bio.

➡️Saturday May 1 @ Noon PST⬅️

For real. Only 3 weeks after it was originally scheduled to drop! It’s fine. Life happens. I could say “I’ve been so busy”, but that’s not true. I just haven’t felt like it. I’ve been anxious and unmotivated. Going to aim to post more consistently again, but it also was nice to avoid Instagram for a while, so we’ll see what happens.

This Saturday at 12PM PST we’ll be seeing the Jungle & Savanna collection on the site! (Decision made via story poll, of course). Three of these beautiful birds will be included!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Running out of collection ideas, and inventory to list. But I think that’s a good thing?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Just got my first COVID-19 vaccine shot and I am SO excited and grateful for this privilege! ❤️ I hope all of you have been able to begin vaccinations or have them on the horizon as well.

I love architecture and I love dancing. I also love these things:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• the feeling of sunshine on my skin
• hammocks
• my people
• tea lattes
• baby animals such as lambs and chicks
• baby humans
• getting caught up in a good book
• rain
• water with a bunch of lemon juice in it
• wrapping presents
• hitting snooze, or just not having an alarm
• sweet potato fries
• all of the arts
• making spreadsheets
• tiramisu
• jokes
• lake kayaking and paddle boarding (I don’t own the equipment though)
• getting into a clean bed that is made after a shower (but I never make my bed)
• breathing
• making lists
• so many other things!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are some of your favorite simple pleasures? What do you love? I want to know these little things that help make you who you are. 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just got this hand yesterday from and it says “I love you” in ASL. It makes me think of the people in my life who sign “I love you” to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, four of these buildings will be for sale this week...the theme will be announced tomorrow. (Don’t worry, I have duplicates.) The ones that will be for sale are (from left to right) numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Farm & Forest collection is now online!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This isn’t the best photo to announce it honestly because
A) I last minute backed out of listing this painting cause I love it so much and I’m trying to talk myself into selling it still, and
B) This lady’s umbrella is broken and I have to fix her before I can sell her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But oh well... The horse and books are now available, plus 27 other listings!

Farm 🐷 & Forest 🐰 things this Saturday. You’ll see lots of brass (surprise surprise) plus some books, some paintings, and a little silver rooster. 🤍 My favorite I think is the feathered little duck off to the right. How about you?
