in the moment pt 1

I got my first mix yesterday for the in the moment swap from Megan. I love the sexy little gold envelope it showed up in. I imported it to my iTunes at work, and I’m dancing in my chair so far. it’s a great mix including standouts by some of my old favs, Belle and Sebastian, Travis, and Van Morrison. and oh yes… Danke Schone by Rosemary Clooney. fabulous.
Megan not only finds some awesome things from craigslist which she posts on her blog, craig’s treasures, but she has great taste in music. thanks for the new music Megan!

favorite things

03. ornate chandeliers. shimmering specks of light throughout the entryway.

one of those amazing things that people in movies always have in the entry way to compliment the huge staircase and huge driveway for their huge house that hosts their amazing guests at the annual holiday bash. I love the way each glimmer of light from the crystals on a chandelier shine in a spectrum of colors.

tidy toppers

I’m loving riding/newsboy hats. I have a cable knit one that I love, though I’m on the hunt for one that’s a little more polished. I like these three.
