But I felt really happy this week, filled with the quietude that stems from my decision earlier this week, letting myself make excited plans that aren't all hinged on a distant moving proposition, counting down the days to getting my new bed (secretly imbuing it with magical, life-altering properties).
It somehow feels like my apartment is new to me again - just letting myself think of staying here. I find myself daydremaing about painting and rearranging, hanging a pendant in my bedroom and fixing that window screen that bugs me so. And I'm planning to let my mind run riot with list-making and window-shopping this weekend. Immediate certainty about something is a nice feeling.
In the blog-world this week, I adored these blankets on Remodelista and images from Lyell on {this is glamorous}. I barely resisted buying one of Baggu's new Duck Bags (a matter of time, no doubt) and fell really hard for Wendy Bevan on {frolic!} And I treated myself to these shoes, which should arrive today, just in time for weekend happy feet!
Hoping you have a happy weekend too! And a Happy Halloween!

don't you love that feeling of your environment feeling new again? i hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeletewow.. i was so surprised and excited to see two of my humble photos on your friday round up! thx:) and thx for the link! happy weekend, jane!!
Humble photos indeed! Your work is stunning Chelsea!
ReplyDeleteI adore that dress - did you take that picture?
ReplyDeleteHi Lahmode - no I did not. The image credits are included in the post.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Happy Friday to you! I know that I am sick (ha!) of hearing flu-talk, although I'm fortunate enough to have it limited to the radio, most of the time.
ReplyDeleteThose duck bags come in such amazing colours! Love the grass one, and I'm not even a big fan of wearing green.
I am being the same way! I'm usually very casual about flu season and I almost never get sick anyways, but this year I'm obsessively washing my hands while I'm at work.
ReplyDeleteI hate to buy into the hype, but I can't afford the 7 - 10 days it takes to recover from this flu! And, working at a University, I am surrounded by coughing students.
so glad your week was happy. wishing you a lovely weekend (and hoping your new shoes arrive)!
ReplyDeleteso happy to have come across your blog. i love it! hope you're having a wonderful weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, completely with you on the flu talk front. Bored and terrified. Add a five -year-old who has autoimmune-related eczema to the mix, and you have a very confused mother... Arggh! I don't know what to do...
ReplyDeleteAnyway. The rest of the stuff was a great diversion from the paranoia part. Dreaming up new ways to decorate and re-arrange things in your apartment sound lovely. And I am so very happy that it's bringing you joy - further evidence that the decision to stay was a good one. Hope you had a lovely weekend.
xo,

making exciting plans and daydreaming sound like the makings of a perfect weekend! hope yours was lovely + thank you for including me in your friday round-up :)
