my week in objects (mostly).

December 21, 2012

five little things that made my week.

1. these orange peels.
simmering orange peels, etc. {plus the cloves and cardamom and juniper berries simmering away}.

2. these postcards.
holiday postcard {because i’m glad i decided to make them. now if only i had ordered enough. if you don’t get one it’s because i can’t do math, not because i don’t love you}.

3. this glue.
nori glue {because it was acid free. which is what i needed. and i already had it}.

4. this white contact paper.
contact paper windowsill {because we put a strip of white contact paper on our nasty, pitted, unpainted window sill. it’s the most ridiculous fix, but it’s also kind of amazing}.

5. these french lentils.
lentils7992 {because we’re on a major lentil kick lately and french lentils are the prettiest. all grey and green and blue}.

other things:
these words.
my latest favorite twitter feed.
a pine tree dress!
speaking of pining.
wreaths.

      Isn't it the sweetest twitter? I love it. Equal parts whimsical and informative.

    I especially love your postcards; that's such a great picture! I haven't tried lentils before. I should, especially because it might help balance my obsession with chocolate.

      Ha! I love lentils–101 Cookbooks had an awesome red lentil coconut soup recipe that we had this week and it was amazing! I think it'd be a good introduction!

      It's the silliest thing, but it looks neat and clean and for now that's all that matters!

    Oh my gosh, are those your Christmas cards?! They are simple and stunning and perfect. I feel like I've seen so many different kinds already and yours are by far my favorite.
