spring time inspo

Springtime makes me want to live in a Jane Austen novel...

makes me want to buy bundles of flowers without reason...

have a tea party and wear a pastel dress...

Wake up early to hear the birds chirp...

:)

little luxuries

Every once in a while a bunch of pretty flowers does the trick...such a necessary little luxury.

I bought a bundle for my bedside table and have never been more excited for spring!

This takes me back to my high school days, working in a garden nursery.

I always loved this time of year, when bulbs are selling,

tulips are just opening, little sprouts of green emerge from the ground.

It makes me so happy and excited - all of these hues of blush pink and vivid green.

happy monday!  ciao, xo

insta-lately

girlie starbucks date; breaking out my inner-lumberjack;

tea and strawberries for breakfast; overloaded marshmallows + hot chocolate

special delivery; a snowy creek on my drive home;

solo latte dates; gleefully smiling in my new drive!

healthy lunch with my best gal pal; sweet gifts on v-day;

breakfast dates; a view from high up!

just a little life lately from instagram and beyond.

winter is draaaaggging on and on and my entire feed seems to be WHITE with snow.

and also dominated by pictures of coffee. wooops.

i can only post so much on a snow day.

and I can only tell you guys so many times that spring cannot come faster.

soon i hope to have a little green and pink in my feed. i need flowers!

i can't promise anything about the coffee pictures stopping, though.

ciao, xo

scenes from my weekend

What a weekend! Well, what was originally supposed to be a long three day weekend turned into a gigantic five day vacation. Over 12 inches of snow fell over a span of three days, and now it seems to be all shoved to the side in dirty slushy mounds. The roads are so narrow now...our walkways are slick with ice, and we've become desensitized to weather reports so that now 3-5 inches is noooothing. It didn't stop us from having a lovely Valentine's day dinner (seriously perfect), or me from venturing out into town for a few photos. Or making smoothies for a sweet taste of summer. I do have to admit, though, I've been mostly confined indoors, under a lovely plush blanket and endless cups of tea. :)

Spring seriously cannot get here soon enough.

ciao! xo
