things that have kept me happy today...

(oh, Bon Iver...you make life so much better)

2. gazing upon photos at the blue hour

3. this quote

4. thinking about autumn sweaters.

Learn & Eat

I don't know which of these I love more!
from Rick Mereki.

red & kitchen

"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful 
or believe to be beautiful." ~ William Morris

"Setting up house" has gone a bit slower than I imagined, but is very satisfying. & in the midst of life, living, family, work, and C, I noticed a pattern.....    ....red "splashes" in my kitchen.

Another testament to the joy of following the quote from above!

ravishing ruche.

This online shop (ruche) is like anthropologie's slightly less-expensive cousin.

I was already impressed & then I found their free desktop wallpapers page.

....sigh....

farmers market delights.

1) Grown in Detroit t-shirts hanging proudly in the 90+ degree breeze 
2) Never knew there were so many types of garlic. Got some to make this scrumptiousness
3) Farmers markets have the most breathtaking flowers, I swear.
4) And proud of it!
5) Haven't had these since I was a child...
6) ...the honey-strawberry was delish. delish.
7) Hubby trying one out.
8) The name, the sign: presh.
9) We are now stocked with: peaches, apples, raspberries, sweet-corn, red-skinned potatoes, spinach and so on. I love opening the fridge door and seeing the trove.

Deciding to do a collage = a good idea!

a dear friend,

evening setting outside the windows,
surrounded by an island of Toast & anthropologie
pictures ripped and scattered at our feet, at our knees
every one selected for a reason.

This is my life in this moment.
