this is a photo from a cafe we visited while in north little rock during thanksgiving break. i feel like i am still living a bit in the past, lingering on the evenings spent with family during our stay. all of the delicious food prepared by others, the dirty dishes just magically disappearing & cleaned by hands not our own. but- i think i am finally getting used to being back in our tiny attic. i finally managed to tackle the piles of dishes left from monday, & i even made our bed! no more nose tissues & cough drops for me, i am back to healthy! now… i just need to get on all of the handmade gift ideas i have stored away in my mental toolbox. this christmas is already turning out to be my favorite. {this} has been a great reminder of what is important.
