{pink azaleas on a wednesday afternoon}

. . . a brisk walk first thing this morning and four cups of coffee later, and there's a perfect tangle of beautiful things floating around in thoughts today, after playing with notions of wildly adventurous plans that could change everything, and there is an unmistakable feeling of being on the brink of something spectacular . . . but for now, it's back to work, and perhaps, finding a way to channel all the excitement into inspiration . . .

happy wednesday! hope you're having a wonderful week so far xo

{a simple arrangement}

One ornamental piece and a few tiny bouquets of yellow blossoms in vibrant vases -- so simple at yet so lovely . . .

{p.s.} also love the herringbone pattern in the fireplace

{fun-loving ways + moments of repose}

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and was able to find a little time to relax before the busy-ness of the holidays begins, if it hasn't already. Between dinners, being out and about and home again for a little re-organizing, the weekend was filled with fun-loving ways and a few stolen moments of repose before the start of a new and happily busy week . . .

{p.s.}
Fun and exciting things planned for this week, including more festive cheer and some lovely gift ideas at some of my favourite places.
