i just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who left such kind and sweet comments on my last post! your support means so much to me.

lately it feels like time is flying by so i sat down last night and wrote out a list of goals for 2012. here's hoping that putting it down in writing helps me accomplish everything.

+focus all savings on finishing our house.

+finally hang artwork and family pictures.

+less digital, more film.

+continue making pottery and weaving.

+take more walks.

+expand my business to include home goods.

+make more ceramic jewelry.

+experiment with food and still life styling.
+make furniture with my husband. 

+build a backyard sanctuary with large gardens.
+try something new with my style like high heels.

hope you all have a great weekend!

SHOP NEWS: thank you all so much for your orders! i realized that this will most likely be my last shop update of the year and i got a bunch of emails about wanting to buy christmas gifts. i just restocked most of the sold out pieces and plan to keep the sale going through out the weekend. 

found the perfect spot for my hanging plant in the bathroom. i love having a little greenery in there. i got the hook from brook farm general store.

+the shop is now open

my love of forest green continues...new anna dress from wiksten.
