Revelations and affirmations.
In prose.

Still exploring growth, aging, time, relationships and self. Quite a worthy venture.

Follow the natural rhythms of your own life.
No need to succumb to the unnecessary pressure of changing or giving birth to something prematurely.

Take the pressure off.
Like the clothes you remove after a long, hard day…
Take the pressure off.
Like the deep, heavy sigh of relief when you breathe when the pain you anticipated turns into joy…
Take the pressure off.

No need
No need
No need to succumb to the pressure of giving birth to something prematurely

This part of the year tends to inherently call for a lot of reflection.

The season of life I’m in, even more…

One thing I can agree with myself on (this just means I’ve found resolution and peace with this truth) is that my peace and joy are more a non-negotiable than ever.

This is a truth that I will proclaim and practice even more as I move into 2024.

I’m not one for resolutions.

I tend to follow the ebbs and flows and rhythms of life-following my gut and intuition where it leads me. It has yet to steer me wrong.

This next year, I’m leaning more into moments that produce the one you see here to give back to the girl you see in the second image. She deserves every ounce of goodness and joy and richness this side of heaven has.

In case you forgot, you do, too.

I’m just trying to sort out how this was TWO Christmas’s ago.

A different point of view…

Speaking of different views, when shopping the site, be sure to explore ‘kitchen and dining’ , ‘decor’ and other areas of the shop that are sometimes easily missed but chock full of goodies.

Thanks to all of you who continue to support the shop and make this work so much more meaningful. It’s an honor to provide you with curated goods that help tell the story of you and your home.

I know I’ve been tucked away in what seems like a ‘hidden space of nothingness’ for months around here but it’s not been without fruit.

Then, I drop a shop sale out of what seems like nowhere on like I’ve been here all along. And the truth is, I have been.

I feel off here very intentionally in May without an announcement of my departure and remained “in” my stories until life called for me to take a break there as well.

And so, here I am. Living my dream. Really. But if I told you the road’s it’s taken me to get here, you probably wouldn’t believe it. Maybe I’ll write a book about it. 😉

I’m finally-after two and a half years of living hell-living in a space that feels like it fits right and while life is absolutely riddled with winters, I’m thankful that every winter has it’s spring.

Every winter has moments where live things show their faces to remind you that living is to be had even in the deadest of seasons. I’m proof. I’m living proof that dead things don’t always die-they just need a little time to come back to life.

That’s the indpiration behind the drop today as well. I hope you enjoy and remember that as you peruse and shop today.

I’m exploring new ways to show up in this space as we approach a new year. I’ll be taking it slow but Imm thankful that whenever I do show up-you do, too.

An ode to endings and beginnings…

A new collection’s coming your way this Friday. It’s the last one until after the new year then the shop will be closed until spring. I’ve got some fun changes ahead and I can’t wait to share some of them with you.

Until then, set those reminders and sign up for the shop newsletter to receive shop + collection updates!

Just a visual reminder that the sun always comes after the rain. (Or, snow) Eventually. Seattle has been unseasonably cold for this time of year and I heard some of y’all got snow this week. 👀 whatever the weather, I hope you’re finding ways to rest, retreat and find joy this weekend, friends.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one, too.

You?
(Only answer if you use washcloths AND soap in the shower 😂👀😆)

I also hate (hate?) when people eat until they’re stuffed and then say they have a “food baby”. Ion know…something just don’t sit right with me about it. It’s dumb and it makes me gag a little. 🙃🤢

This needed to live here, too.

(Although, we’ll see how many of you actually see it. 🤓)

But…just ICYMI, I’ve curated some of the most special pieces and they’re now available in the shop.

Golden hour sneakers peekers from earlier this evening.

May be hard for me to let this lamp go. It’s pretty darn good.

Create your own cozy corners in your bedroom, hallway and entry with pieces from this collection and so many more unique finds in the shop now.
