friends, can you believe easter is just around the corner? i’m quite certain christmas was yesterday.
with the days quickly passing, it’s always such a gift to slow down & truly soak up the special days with our dearest & nearest.
today i am over at shindig paperie’s blog sharing an easter-inspired gathering for the kid at heart. let’s stop trying to craft up that pinterest perfection & instead find heart in the paper plates, potluck dishes, candy eggs, laughter & fun this easter season!
love,
natalie
as i sit here in the early morning hours with a warm coffee in hand at my old wooden desk purchased secondhand, i thought it might be fun to share some home inspiration with you i have found via instagram.
as you know, we’ve been slowly cleaning out every corner of our home & making space to simply live. we are not minimalists. we enjoy well-made goods that make up our home. we appreciate family heirlooms & we value cozy. yet still, there’s something about making space that feels just right.
below are a handful of my favorites… i hope you find a spark of inspiration to fluff up your corners, let go of a little more, add a throw blanket, dust off your favorite stack of cookbooks & really enjoy your home.
what are some of your favorite instagram accounts for home inspiration? please share!
love,
natalie
friends, i’m feeling heavy this week. are you?
with so much political chatter & noise, it only makes sense to grab a cup of warm tea & huddle down. get cozy. encourage the quiet. to create a list of joys & focus our intentions on those rather than the crazy that may surround us.
today i thought i’d share my list of joys. sometimes it helps to shine a light directly into the darkness.
