Little Things -- Backyard Chicken Envy


Lately, it seems I'm as likely to encounter a chicken in a friend's backyard as I am to find a dog on their couch. And I'm feeling a little envious.

Little Things -- Vintage Bottle Beauty


I love stumbling onto old bottles and medicine bottles at antique stores. They're just gorgeous, and the colors can be unreal, like these I saw recently. So pretty to take home for vases... or for nothing at all.


 

Little Things -- Afternoon Tea

 

For the last many years, I've been drinking coffee. Decaf in my case, but coffee nevertheless. I indulge as frequently as five times a day (as a decaf-er, I'm pretty sure it's more about the ritual and comfort than anything else).

Dressing Room -- Cameo Appearance


I adore cameos. They are so classic... and timeless... and beautiful. Even more, I find them to be incredibly intriguing. When I wear one, I feel like I'm wearing a story.

Little Things -- Old Boots


The best. I've had these for two decades. They've led many lives in different cities, and even spent a few years nearly forgotten in the trunk of my car. But I never let them go. So glad...

Little Things -- A Votive


The power of a votive never ceases to amaze me. Goodness, how can the most humble detail have such a colossal effect. It is one of the simplest ways to alter an environment. The flash of a match... and suddenly things are glowing. It's like putting a filter on a photograph... but on the whole atmosphere. 

In groupings on a dinner table, mantel, or nightstand... always lovely. My favorite spot for one -- the tub.



photos: my most tried + true votive holder -- has followed me from city to city... for years and years.

Little Things -- A Cup Of Tea


Especially lovely when enjoyed in something pretty. This tea cup is part of a pair I picked up at this darling vintage shop in Carpinteria.
