a fresh start

i have read and re-read every comment left on my last

 post and to say i'm blown away would be an understatement.  i honestly had no idea that anyone cared that much about this mediocre blog.  and while i'm at it i'd like to define what i mean when i use the term mediocre.  to me mediocre means ordinary everyday objects.  this perfectly describes my life, my style, my blog.  i'm just an ordinary person.  i'm not well-travelled or well anything for that matter. 

i like making things like bread from scratch.  building gardens and creating homes with very little.  i love saving money.  i don't like clutter.

i consider myself a vegan even though i do have a handful of animal products in my home.

i will always try to buy leather second hand over newly made in china vinyl products.

i make mistakes all the time and i'm learning new things about myself everyday.

i do strive to be consistent - but i'm far from perfect.

thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words and mostly thank you for reminding me just what it is i love.  the internet if full of outstanding, beautifully written and photographed blogs by very talented people and it's hard not to become envious or feel less than while reading them. your comments and emails remind me to stay true to myself.

this past weekend i was walking past a yardsale and saw this old camping stool.  i fell in love with its simplicity, color and its fifty cent price tag.  i carried it home and it's living here with me now.  my tall black boots are always filthy this time of year so they are on the porch.  oh and you will notice that the white curtains are back in the living room.  change is hard for me.

 

i hope (key word is hope) to post my project 333 summer list tomorrow.


you are all so lovely - thank you again.
