friends, you have no idea how exciting it is for me to finally update my {etsy} shop!

until recently, i had been craving a creative outlet, but life & work & school didn’t allow for it. finally after many months of just getting by, i have time to exercise my passions & really dive in head first into this shop.

the photos above are some of the items that i have added. all are vintage & all hold a story. take a little visit over there if you can! i will be adding some other vintage pieces to the shop as the week goes on. make sure to check out those, too.

okay, enough of that. how are you?

before we started dating & before he even knew i liked him, he asked me to cut his hair. i literally cut one hair at a time as my nerves rattled inside for fear of messing up. well over an hour later, i had only cut the front of his hair. we were running out of time & had to catch a bus to d.c. for a service trip. we decided that it would do & mullets were pretty cool anyway.

now, almost three years later, i am still cutting his hair.
& i am the only one who cuts his hair.

we have been through the mullet, the rat tail, the monk cut & the many oops! i didn’t mean to cut that so short! cuts, but he still trusts me.

it is our time together. just luke & me. in our home.

another thing i really love about him.

after almost four days of being apart, we decided that a relaxing sunday was due. i spent the better part of the week in fayetteville with his side of the family. i did a little thrifting, attended a “radical sistas” meeting until 2 in the morning{!!} & met with a few friends for coffee. it was exactly what i needed to find myself after several months of routine & just getting by both mentally & spiritually.

he spent the week at a farming conference. after talking about the conference with me for well over an hour, he teared up as he talked about his passion for growing food & specifically, beets. that is my kind of man!

so, after spending some days apart, we knew we needed just us time. we slept in & snuggled until late morning. we enjoyed breakfast & conversation at our favorite breakfast joint. we did a little grocery shopping & we allowed for a lot of time to just be. now he’s singing to himself in the kitchen while preparing our yummy dinner of “sloppeh” joes and creamy coleslaw {from the feeding the whole family cookbook}. i am slowing working on the etsy shop that will be fully updated by the end of the week {post on this to come soon!}

it has been a week of blessings for sure. i haven’t felt this full in awhile. full of life, creativity, passion, thankfulness, warmth, goodness & beauty. i am finding myself once more & i love that.
