These last few days have been magic.
The feeling of fall seeping out of the clouds and comforting my heart.
I love the crisp cool air in my lungs.
The smell of fire wood and the joy of knowing boots and sweaters are to be worn!
Everyday I dream of Paris and London.
I keep telling myself to relish in the waiting and dreaming because it is apart of the journey.
But how I ache to travel. To feel new earth below my feet.
To people gaze and to wander. I long for this more than anything these days.
This is a bit of my cozy little birthday.
Full of yummy appetizers, vintage cola’s and books. Of course books!
My family made me a tower of donuts and screamed happy birthday. Just the way I like it.
I spent a beautiful night laughing away on my best friends balcony.
The crisp air dancing on our faces, drinking licorice tea on a black polka dot blanket.
Her and her husband told stories and laughed with me for hours. What a beautiful way to end a day.
Iv been going on a lot of walks recently. Weather permitting.
I love all the things God romances me with when I’m in nature.
The trails of mushrooms leading to somewhere magical.
The hidden little neighborhood bunnies and the bright swirling sunsets. It warms my heart right up.
Wether you like it or not: It’s a bright new day…

What to do with grandma’s collection of doily’s?
Recycle them into a whimsical birthday garland or it’s also perfect for a little girls nursery!
You just need twine and as many doily’s as you want.
As seen above its strung from the back of holes first and then following through the front (enough spaces that the doily is tight).
Make sure each time you string a doily it’s the same way. ;) I had to redo one.

Spice up your kitchen or next dinner party with these brightly painted spoons!
What you will need:
-Tape
-Spoons
-Paint of your choice
I bought the package of spoons for one dollar at our local dollar store and then taped off where I wanted the paint to end and then just finger painted on each color!
Let dry for 10 minutes and then take off tape.
Now you have a fun spoon for each dish!
Tip: If you plan on using them multiple times I would put a clear lacquer on them so paint does not wash or chip off
