things that made my day.

here's a little peek at some of the happy little moments this month thus far.

1 february. snow day! massive amounts of snow. reading Israeli mysteries and drinking thick hot chocolate.


2 february. a vintage booklet on how to tie scarves. equally informative and amusing.


the beginning of new art classes.


3 february. getting extra credit for taking pictures of the massive amounts of snow.


5 february. visiting a greenhouse. I love this place so much.


11 february. matching red-toed socks.


14-15 february. hot rod themed valentines day.

things that made my week.

this last real week of break has been fantastic. I'm really sad to see it go, but I think (I hope) that I'll enjoy this next semester.

10 january. a beautiful snowy day. curled up in a flannel shirt reading agatha christie. spending time by the fireplace (shocker).



12 january. spending time at "I love a mystery," and this amazing necklace that reminds me of something nefertiti would have worn.


15 january. wearing my favorite big sweater from my grandma while watching "miss potter" and writing letters.


delicious fruit tarts made by my little sister and my dad.



(another thing that made my week: some nerf wars. always a good time.)

"snowflakes in the air"

. . .or at least on the windows.
last weekend we all decided to make snowflakes. some used patterns, and some did freestyle. some used normal paper, some used newspaper, and some even used candy wrappers haha. they all turned out pretty well though.










a little christmas baking.


the finished snowflakes.
