curiosities

photos by me

Curious as to...

1. How creatives come up with the idea of using metal tips one would usually only find on the corners of diner menus - to be used on the tips of collars. Ingenious.

2. How a curiosities shop could make one even more curious. An ancient Chinese herbalist drawer?! I mean... come on. You have to admit that's quite a piece.

3. Why my eyes seem to have a slight downturn in this photo. Maybe both of my eyes are lazy. Even distribution is nice I guess

There's just something about fluffy pillows, a gargantuan bed, and sunlight pouring into the room that makes me want to peel off all traces of clothing, climb into bed, and absorb everything into my bare skin.

333x better with my man.

1. For as long as I can remember, it has been a tradition in my family to gather all our gifts in one place and photograph them all. My photography skills have improved since I was 5.

2. Opening gifts on FaceTime is pretty fun. And adorable. Thanks Apple.

3. I made bows to tag gifts! Look at me go! An alternative to dollar store gift tags that I've always relied on in previous years. Try it some time. I used scraps of wrapping paper.

4. A charming bracelet. Classic and minimal. Just the way I like it.

5. You can never lose when playing Secret Santa with your best friends.

MERRY belated CHRISTMAS

Today I saw a sign that read 'May your troubles be as short lived as your new year's resolutions'. This is alarming. Has society given up on each other and its ability to keep promises they have made for themselves? I hope not... Don't let obstacles get in the way. Persevere. All that positive/inspirational/feel good stuff. Change is the only constance in life. Roll with the punches. Other pertinent cliches entered here.
