“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.” ~Thoreau⠀ ⠀ Thanks so much for capturing this moment in our little home, Ali. If anyone needs an AMAZING photographer, check out @feathermusephotos. She captures beautiful moments that you’ll want to hold onto forever. 💕

Yesterday was a dreary winter day, and I’m so ready for fields of flowers. Spring always gives a sense of renewal, of beginning again...⠀ ⠀ (I’ve been inspired by this feeling lately and wrote about it on the blog. Maybe you’ll find some ✨ in it, too. Link in bio.)

That blissful feeling when sitting down with a new book from one of your favorite authors. ❤️ Kate Morton - and her latest novel is just as wonderful as I knew it would be. ✨ ⠀ ⠀ “Sentimentality was mawkish and cloying, where nostalgia was acute and aching. It described yearning of the most profound kind: an awareness that time’s passage could not be stopped and there was no going back to reclaim a moment or a person or to do things differently.” - The Clockmaker’s Daughter

Saturday morning still life. 🥞☕️⠀ And the impossible to answer question: pancakes or waffles? 🤔

Wednesday word inspiration. ✨

My habit has always been to tread softly. In nature, not wanting to disturb the deer sleeping beyond our fence or make the fox feel unwelcome. In words, because I’ve always known their power. And I’ve finally learned that living quietly isn’t a character flaw, but a strength of its own. ⠀ ⠀ So in case you’re wondering why my handle changed, it’s just a new expression of what I hope to create here. Nothing fancy or even particularly momentous, just a way for me to center myself in this online space and remember why I’m here.⠀ ⠀ {And if you’re curious to know more - blog link in bio}
