:: washing my hands in the rain

on this lazy, rainy day--- i am staring out my window into the gray late afternoon and am contemplating some of the frivolous things i currently desire.
things i don't really need.
but that would be oh-so-lovely to be wearing. and reading.
and sipping a spicy chai tea w/espresso out of.

dreaming is such a passionate, inspiring, and comforting state of mind...

  1. I heard the rain is pretty nasty today in Michigan. Definitely a good idea to think of more beautiful things! It's gloomy here too. Perhaps a look back at some of your pictures is in order!

    Love your new title picture!

  9. PS. I discovered yesterday while doing some research on Amazon that one of the characters in this book is related to a character from a previous book. I won't give it away just in case you don't want to know yet, but I love that she does that! :)

  17. Those cups are gorgeous! I, like you have this problem of constantly wanting things I can't have. My whole life is a list of 'can't haves'.

    But I guess I have a lot of things that I appreciate. And I do. I just always want more...it must be in my genes - Thanks a lot dad!

  19. Did you design your Toms?? They're GORGEOUS! I'm tempted to buy a new pair, send them to you, and have you replicate your design on them!!!
