In our house lately

Whats new? 

a few things, these big illustrated animal cards in the playroom

my new plug in ceramic kettle, heaven all around, and best b-day gift ever, and oops a glimpse at our nasty old formica counters

pillows

more pillows for the bed

this sweet orchid

our garden boxes hubby built, with baby spinach before the last snow

our lime tree, ever flowering and covered in baby limes

 child's flea market chair, i repainted it and sewed a cushion

this beautiful flea market vase, a score at 5$,  im sure i could find this at Anthropologie for 10 times that.

ikea rattan hanging planters

these cheerful hiacynth bulbs that frankly are keeping the hope alive

our amaryllis on round 2 of its blooming, amazing

new toy containment for the living room, always a help

i had the brilliant idea to organize Imani's washi tape by her art desk this way, 

hubby executed

That;s all i got, 

though as always i am working on more.

Happy Monday!

hopefully your kids go back to school today too, 

not that we dont love them.....!

Road trip to the hotsprings

 Pointing out the sights

amazingly

yellow snow bird out to breakfast

Driving us home in ~this~ sweater

such winter beauty

January: longest month, pale skin,dry hair, dull aches, a bit of a hopeless heart, days and days til spring sunshine.

All that turned around, soaking in hot water, springing 30.000 feet from the core of the earth, minerals abound, muscles soft, freshest clean mountain air, majestic mountains

An escape from it all

BREATH

 i think we have found it again.

Grateful.
