the perfect beginning to 2011.
this weekend was the perfect beginning of the new year.
luke spent the morning of new years day on the couch with cold he can’t seem to shake. it was nice to have him all to myself, though. i like it when he takes it easy & just enjoys himself… even if he is a little sick. haha!
i finished taking down all of the holiday decorations & made our mantle more festive for january.
i am falling in love with this home & will miss it when we move this summer.
a little rest goes a long way & by mid afternoon, luke was feeling up to having friends over for our annual new years day meal: cornbread, bacon & collard greens. a southern tradition that i will keep with me always.
on sunday, we played scrabble & went for a hike on our favorite trail; the trail where luke proposed. tall, golden grass & bright blue skies. we brought along our film cameras & took it slowly up & along the trail.
after our hike, we stopped by my favorite antique market. i purchased a beautiful crocheted table runner & some turkey feathers to add to my collection.

i always love the feeling of a new year. the many changes i plan to make & the hope that this year will bring. this year, i have two goals that i hope to accomplish.
goal number one.
a photo a day for a full year. this makes me totally nervous, but i really want to try. this year holds so many possibilities… we are graduating & we plan to move. we will embarking on our first jobs as “adults.” i can’t wait to see what happens!
goal number two.
update my {etsy shop}! i plan to add some vintage pieces to the mix, too.
it will be up & running mid january.
thanks so much for reading! i look forward to reading your goals for the new year.
love,
natalie
