i really love {his} “office” by the window. whenever he’s away, i like to look at the way he has arranged all of his papers & pens & books. although sometimes they drive me insane, i love his little piles- the piles he makes on top of his desk of library cd’s & store receipts, the piles around the floor of important papers & binders full of notes for class. it just reminds me of him & that’s why I love it all so much.

there isn’t much to say about today except that it is filled with appointments & places to be. i believe i’d rather much be {here} and spending my day by the water. isn’t it beautiful? thank you {shari}, for such a beautiful photo.
love,

I had a great time making photos for one of our local stores in columbia, {mustard seed} a few weeks ago. i’ve talked about the store before, but I just want to say- it is one of my favorites! their passion for serving not only the local community but the world, too, is incredible! the many artists around the world who have committed their lives to creating beautiful works of art from different materials at hand should, and are now, being paid the wages they deserve because of consumers who support stores like mustard seed. so, if you’re ever in the downtown area of columbia, i encourage you to make a stop & buy or just look at the beautiful craftsmanship there- it is, at times, breathtaking to be reminded of the hands that created such beauty with so little.
love,
natalie

good evening, everyone! we’ve had a very lazy sunday & i’ve soaked up every moment. this morning, I made blackberry scones from the blackberries luke & I picked on the top of max patch during our honeymoon. they were absolutely delicious! {once I get the photos back, i’ll post the recipe.} we also went grocery shopping for the week & bought some snacks- fruit leather, dried mango & papaya- for the road. we’ll be driving to arkansas to visit family. luke’s parents are also hosting a reception for those who couldn’t come to the wedding in honor of us! so, we have a lot to do before friday. it should be a busy week!

this weekend, at the farmer’s market, I bought a 10 lb. seconds bag of apples. {kelsey} & I plan on making apple butter tomorrow afternoon. I hope to give some of the jars away as christmas presents this year.
enjoy the rest of your weekend!
love,
natalie
