Want.

If I could design myself, this is what I would look like. If I can't find these frames I will have them made for me.

To paper, or not to paper?

After stumbling across these amazing wallpapers by Julia Rothman I can't help but be inspired to wallpaper every available inch of wall in our house. I've been struggling with what to do to bring more intrest into the guest bedroom and I think the Pebble Cones would be perfect on the North wall. I don't know where I would use the Red Sky print but I imagine it in the basement once we build out a guest bedroom/sewing room down there. Now I just have to go about figuring out how to actually apply wallpaper. Hmm.

Hi, I want each and everyone of you.

I know that Halloween just ended, and Thanksgiving is weeks away, but I can't help but want to skip right to Christmas. Maybe its all this hope and change and happy fuzzy feelings from the election, maybe its having a new house to decorate. I've got big plans for my holiday cards and I want every single ornament I see. If only the holidays weren't such a busy busy time, I would love to have a ladies craft night and drink spiked cocoa and make homemade marshmallows.

Jeff's gone & we're still standing here.

In the past few years we've been to a few funerals. Some were bittersweet, the end of a battle doomed to be lost, the end of pain. One was a celebration of a life well lived, a life big and full. This weekend we said goodbye to someone who very much deserved a better bigger life, but who never asked for more than they were given. Its hard saying goodbye to someone whose time shouldn't have ended, whose life had just begun in so many ways. Jeff, your laughter will always be missed, replaced now by the laughter of those who remembering you can't help but laugh at the retelling of your jokes. Everyone who knew you was better because of it.
