​Christmas on Sand Bay.

359/365 :: Wednesday 25 December 2019
I put together this Sjöpenna floor lamp from IKEA and then looked online and saw that I did it inside out... but I really do like the way that it looks with a smoother outside. it's nice and glowy when it's on (:

360/365 :: Thursday 26 December 2019
too many books, not enough bookshelves. I'm hoping to reread some of these this year.

361/365 :: Friday 27 December 2019
if I keep finding sequins around the house from my dress on Christmas Eve, how many sequins do you think were left at my grandparents' house?

362/365 :: Saturday 28 December 2019
Saturday morning entertainment.

363/365 :: Sunday 29 December 2019
​not enough natural light lately.

364/365 :: Monday 30 December 2019
​some favorite pieces in my bedroom. (I still need to hang my Swedish unicorn.)

365/365 :: Tuesday 31 December 2019
yearly wrap-up.

351/365 :: Tuesday 17 December 2019
the snow is on its way melting (and is now so much further gone), but I love seeing the animal tracks in my yard.

352/365 :: Wednesday 18 December 2019
red velvet cake (by The Cake Lady) at my favorite Sprocket Cafe in St. Francis.

353/365 :: Thursday 19 December 2019
I picked up this dalahäst print at IKEA so fast that it took me a few minutes to realize that it's actually a unicorn! obviously, I had to have it, and it will probably be hanging on my bedroom wall someday.

354/365 :: Friday 20 December 2019
I didn't bake anything in Shauna Sever's Midwest Made, but I loved the photos of the desserts and fun vintage kitchen things.

355/365 :: Saturday 21 December 2019
two very similar photos in a row because I wasn't paying attention since I was so excited about the lovely mail that I picked up after work on Friday night!

356/365 :: Sunday 22 December 2019
my other impulse-because-it's-on-markdown purchase from IKEA was this new pillowcover! I love that it's festive and reminds me of Christmas.

357/365 :: Monday 23 December 2019
​sunrise swirls.

344/365 :: Tuesday 10 December 2019
favorite skies. (but so cold.)

345/365 :: Wednesday 11 December 2019
the only time I went outside was to check the mail.

346/365 :: Thursday 12 December 2019
​just a little dusting.

347/365 :: Friday 13 December 2019
perfect simple gift. can't go wrong with Lindor truffles!

348/365 :: Saturday 14 December 2019
​this guy.

349/365 :: Sunday 15 December 2019
what I'm reading + monthly sticker delivery.

350/365 :: Monday 16 December 2019
the nieces and I will be wearing unicorn slippers at Christmas today. <3

337/365 :: Tuesday 3 December 2019
​this one was cute with a nice positive message.

338/365 :: Wednesday 4 December 2019
I can't take it off my keys, even though I haven't lived there in over six months.

339/365 :: Thursday 5 December 2019
Half-Price Books, you're so good to me. thank you for having price tags that actually come off nicely.

340/365 :: Friday 6 December 2019
baby aloe is getting so big.

341/365 :: Saturday 7 December 2019
literally the one plant that never stops growing.

342/365 :: Sunday 8 December 2019
​I love reading back on what was happening in past years.

343/365 :: Monday 9 December 2019
​no such thing as too many Harry Potter books, right?

330/365 :: Tuesday 26 November 2019
I had to get a sticker for my bullet journal, and when I saw that the color on this one matched so perfectly, it was an obvious choice.

331/365 :: Wednesday 27 November 2019
my aunt and cousin stopped by, and he was immediately drawn in to this jar put together by one of our other aunts. he needed to know if the mousetraps still worked. haha.

332/365 :: Thursday 28 November 2019
it's kind of a joke in the family now that I'm asked to bring the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving, and I'll have the pleasure of making it for Christmas too.

333/365 :: Friday 29 November 2019
the mango flavor is better than the peach flavor, and some days are less inspired than others.

334/365 :: Saturday 30 November 2019
​I love his owl-like eyes.

335/365 :: Sunday 1 December 2019
​first real snow of the winter.

336/365 :: Monday 2 December 2019
it looks so pretty when it's fresh.

323/365 :: Tuesday 19 November 2019
one of my most prized possessions.

324/365 :: Wednesday 20 November 2019
​I just think that brown eggs are so pretty.

325/365 :: Thursday 21 November 2019
morning prism light.

326/365 :: Friday 22 November 2019
leaving some reminders for the world.

327/365 :: Saturday 23 November 2019
Target finally had the gloves that I wanted again. I bought a pair of these a few years ago but when I needed to replace them last year, they only had very thin ones left.

328/365 :: Sunday 24 November 2019
it took me until this caption to realize that I had typed December in every date on this post. I love these mirror reflection rainbows.

329/365 :: Monday 25 November 2019
​guess what I'm making for Thanksgiving?

316/365 :: Tuesday 12 November 2019
I just can't get enough of these views through icy windows.

317/365 :: Wednesday 13 November 2019
it's funny, now, that we make a big deal of the snow that falls in October and November, but then it usually melts away and we forget that it was even there once the real snow falls in December.

318/365 :: Thursday 14 November 2019
Little Weirds was just that, a little weird.

319/365 :: Friday 15 November 2019
I used to have the hardest time leaving to run errands before going to work, even if it was in the afternoon. I just don't like leaving my space. it's still hard sometimes, but it does make me feel accomplished when I just go out and check those two things off my to do list.

320/365 :: Saturday 16 November 2019
the stickers that arrive every month and always make my day. I love these mid-century couches and chairs.

321/365 :: Sunday 17 November 2019
morning sky painting.

322/365 :: Monday 18 November 2019
and it was then, as I tracked down my photo for this day, that I realized that I, as usual, forgot to change the time on my camera a few weeks before.

309/365 :: Tuesday 5 November 2019
sunshine stripes and still reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

310/365 :: Wednesday 6 November 2019
I don't think it's supposed to snow when there are still leaves on the trees.

311/365 :: Thursday 7 November 2019
my bedroom window in the house that I grew up in did these frosty things too, and I just think it looks so pretty.

312/365 :: Friday 8 November 2019
weird, and I know it's not even properly lined up, but I just love the lines from the blinds and sunshine, and then the weird dark spots on the wood floor that are under the hole to the attic.

313/365 :: Saturday 9 November 2019
it really does like this sunny room.

314/365 :: Sunday 10 November 2019
I've only had these jade plants for maybe a month and a half or two months, but I'm just really proud of myself for managing to keep them alive.

315/365 :: Monday 11 November 2019
I initially checked this book out of the library back in May before I moved out of my apartment, but then I didn't even have time to read that one before I had to return it. so six months later and I'm finally reading it. (it was okay; not a favorite from this year.)

302/365 :: Tuesday 29 October 2019
I scouted a few cemeteries for when the weather is nicer. because, you know, snow and not yet frozen ground is really gross to wander around on. but this memorial garden in Appleton seems like it'll be a nice one. they even had a duck pond, which was a surprise for me.

303/365 :: Wednesday 30 October 2019
any guesses on how many trick-or-treaters I ended up having? (eight.)

304/365 :: Thursday 31 October 2019
​my new friend, George.

305/365 :: Friday 1 November 2019
freshly made bed and sunlight streaming in.

306/365 :: Saturday 2 November 2019
I love that the windows have their own way of blurring what's outside sometimes.

307/365 :: Sunday 3 November 2019
I took this photo in the hopes that it would remind me that I still need to order a photo book from my vacation that I took in March. I still haven't done that yet and it's been on my list of things to do since literally late March.

308/365 :: Monday 4 November 2019
this is why I hang out in cemeteries.

295/365 :: Tuesday 22 October 2019
I can't get over how adorable this dog is, even if he barks angrily at me. I'm sorry that your legs are so short, buddy.

296/365 :: Wednesday 23 October 2019
a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

297/365 :: Thursday 24 October 2019
​diner blues with Leilani and Gervis.

298/365 :: Friday 25 October 2019
​I never know how good the pictures are until days later when I'm editing them in Lightroom, but sometimes I get the shot.

299/365 :: Saturday 26 October 2019
it's taken many years, but I think I'm finally finding my spot at these shows. I really like the perspective from over in the wings.

300/365 :: Sunday 27 October 2019
​mirror rainbows.

301/365 :: Monday 28 October 2019
​skulls and books.
