the aimee bee shop also offers hand-stamped necklaces in a variety of colors & designs. i love my beehive necklace with my initial in the copper colors! i’ve been rocking mine with a basic v-neck tee & cardigan. it’s also perfect for layering with other necklaces for a little boho look.

THIS MOMENT: a friday ritual. a single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. a simple, special, extraordinary moment. a moment i want to pause, savor & remember.

it must be spring; i can feel it in my bones!

that deep craving for bare legs & rich green grass.

the simple beginnings of our garden… fingers deep in the dirt covering seeds.

bright colors & warm sunshine.

despite the dark & gloomy days that have been lingering around these parts, i’m certain spring is just around the corner.

to celebrate, i decorated my mantel with cheerful spring & easter-inspired decorations!

i re-used last year’s bunny banner from target & strung it atop my big green boxwood wreath (also from target). i purchased a few gold dot easter eggs from hobby lobby for a bit of sparkly goodness. 

amidst my collection of old hardback books & chippy frames, i placed a green mason jar on my mantel full of this season’s happy flags!

my etsy shop re-opens this thursday, march 12th, with bright & colorful goods just in time for the arrival of spring!

i absolutely love the easter-inspired set of happy flags (shown above)! i imagine them bundled up in an easter basket & peeking out of wheatgrass on a cozy mantelpiece. 

i’m also introducing mini happy flags! yay! 

they’re perfect for tiny plants, cupcakes, party decorations & more. this rainbow set can transition from spring to summer, adding a pop of color to any tabletop!
