♥ happy birthday, emily ♥

this little baby turns 21 today.

happy birthday, sweet girl.

i love you so much.

♥

lo and behold

this month, i've been busy.

i have a couple new projects i'm working on.

{more on those later}

as a result,

some things are late

{new year's cards, coming soon!}

and others have been quite neglected

{ahem, this blog}.

this amaryllis, which i never potted,

just tossed into my basket of produce,

is bearing blooms of forgiveness.

it's all okay.

treasury

an owly treasury

huddled together for warmth

cuddly owlets,

tea & coffee & moscow mules,

cozy knitted sweaters...

☼come see☼

and if you have tiny feet

{euro 36 :: us 5-5½}

here's a pair of amazing bryr clog boots

that would match this treasury

and the chilly season to a T.

note: these are regularly $425, on sale for $159.

this is the very last pair.

snap them up!!

camping trip

turns out,

camping with 22 teenagers is

so. much. fun.

if these student council kids

maintain their government roles,

we are in good {and hilarious} hands.

big thanks to melissa stephenson,
the new student council advisor,
for making this trip happen!

♥

p.s.

after we got home, marian said,

"having you there 

wasn't as bad as i thought it would be."

love you too, honey.

so summer

a shot of ned with his good friends,

wish me luck!
