can i go?

lovely advent calendar

this haircut. and the dress.

summer...? over it.

It's really all just wishful thinking right now, as it has been hot, muggy and miserable for weeks, and an end doesn't seem to be in sight...but i'm so ready for fall.

Tired of the stickiness and wildfires. Of feeling drained and awful all the time.

But these things, these lovely little pictures below, make me feel really, really....happy. and alive. 

Autumn and winter make me feel alive.

i'm ready for scarves, and shorts with tights.

ready for pinecones and wintery jewelry... like these earrings from etsy.

ready to sit inside on a cloudy rainy day and draw.

ready to bake pies. and oh these:
Apple hand pies with cheddar! Chad would love these.

...and apple cider. 

in apple cups, if you want to be fancy.

I'm definitely, definitely ready.

it's a concerted effort

i choose to look at the pretty things on the internet.

just today...

Ian is home :)

And i really want to cut my hair short for the wedding.

(but i'm 94% sure i won't)

things good and lovely

What to do...with so many gross and distressing things i can never un-know, and never un-see.
That's what praying and pinterest are for.

flowery rings

warm, rustic spaces

prettiest blue cheveux

and such sweetly presented truth.
