Hello friends!
I don’t know about you, but one of the things I most look forward to about spring is THE FLOWERS. Winter is sadly lacking in the area of blossoms, so I’ve been thrilled to finally see bright colors popping out of the earth these March days.
Today I have a colorful, sun-soaked post to brighten your heart. 🙂 Enjoy this little nature photoshoot!
Hello friends!
I’m back with pictures from the other half of our mountain vacation! Today I’m sharing lots of sweeping mountainscapes and some amusing adventures Sully and I encountered along the way. 🙂 Enjoy this little travel journal!
Hello friends!
Sully and I went on a lovely trip in the mountains over the weekend, ending with a breathtaking tour of Natural Bridge on our way home. Although pictures can’t convey the grandeur of this massive rock formation, I’m excited to show you the ones I got of the bridge as well as the beautiful path beyond it.
Read on for stone towers, charming streams, and pretty wildflowers.
Hello friends!
Today I have a fun “small joys” post for you. I know a lot of people struggle with seasonal depression this time of year, and while that’s not the case for me, I am always eager for spring’s arrival and the warmer weather that comes with it.
In that spirit, I’ve collected some delightful ideas to get you in a spring mood even though winter hasn’t ended yet. Read on for refreshing activities, both indoor and outdoor.
Hello friends!
I have a lush little photoshoot to share with you today. I know it’s only the beginning of February, but I’m already excited for spring. I’ve spotted a bunch of daffodil spears poking up around my yard as well as lots of weed flowers sprinkling the grass.
At this point in the year, most of the signs of spring are tiny and easily missed, so I decided to capture them with my favorite macro extension tubes (aff. link). Enjoy this macro nature photography!
Hello friends!
Although I don’t write letters as often as I used to, I still really enjoy it when I have the time. I’ve accumulated quite a few envelope art pictures since the last pen pal post, so today I’m sharing some recent (and not so recent) happy mail inspiration.
Enjoy these pretty envelopes and fun snail mail ideas!
Hello friends!
I kept internally laughing at myself while making this post because I’m so not a beauty blogger, haha. Still, I wanted to share my favorite products for a simple winter “beauty routine” that’s actually attainable. When I say these are my top 5 beauty products, I mean these are basically the only products I use on a daily or weekly basis. Very, very minimal.Â
If you don’t have the patience (or pocketbook) for a cabinet full of fancy products, I hope this post will be helpful to you!
Hello friends!
The weather has been awfully cold here recently, so going outdoors for exercise has felt a bit daunting. However, Sully and I braved the cold one day to take a walk in a local park. Everything was windy, brown, and soggy from a recent flood. But I took my camera along and tried to pick out interesting bits of nature to show off beautifully in a black and white format.
Did I succeed in making interesting photos from an ugly landscape? Read on to see what you think. 🙂
Hello friends!
One of my friends recently complimented my house as being “attainably lovely” and that struck me as such a wonderful phrase! As much as I love Pinterest home decor, it often feels unrealistic, expensive, and uncomfortable to actually live in. What if you live in a normal house without room in your budget for Anthropologie and antiques?
Here are a few tips on how to tastefully decorate your house in inexpensive and attainable ways.
