Glass Jars and Butterfly's!

I had to share these Beautiful images from interior stylist Lo Bjurulf (found moments ago via Bliss! who seems to always show beautiful things!)
This first is my favorite! I love glass jars and bottles and the butterfly's are magical and sweet!

I am so captivated by the colors and the juxtaposition of casual and older pieces mixed with lovely new and modern items! Or the neutral, washed colors paired with bold and bright shades! I just love these and I hope you do too!

love, Emma

Winter in the City

Feeling inspired by some winter scenes I found this morning! Aside from this dazzling photo of the flower and it's little blanket of snow I am feeling really moved by winter in the city type photos today! I think snow falling among the buildings and all the people is just
so romantic and peaceful!

What is inspiring you today?

Love, Emma

I saw this adorable cottage on Olivet (wonderful!) and I had to find more. I don't know if the day to day life of living in an old cottage would actually be sweet and cozy but it sure seems dreamy and romantic to think about! Cold weather and the seasons that come with it always make me dream of living in a quaint cottage! I found some very unique little houses around the internet. Aren't they lovely.

My plan is to go to bed and have cozy cottage dreams!
I hope your dreams are cozy tonight.

A Memory

Our small hands pressed the brown-grey shells together until our knuckles turned white and the hard covering split open between our palms. We pulled out the divided pecan meat while we laughed at the events of the afternoon. Although the soft nuts did not fill our stomachs as a hearty meal would we were satisfied. We could have cracked through an entire bumpy carpet of thick oval shells that lay under their trees and return tomorrow to be greeted by newly laid ground coverings. It seemed as if the mossy trees could have held no more nutty shells yet everyday the ones we had emptied the day before were replaced there on the dirt and grass.
While we laughed and cracked and ate it rained. Only an afternoon shower, light. But long and steady enough to filter it's drops down through the mothering trees, sliding down leaves and gliding around the lush curls of grey moss. We did not move. We stayed and cracked and ate and listened to the wet slip from leaf to leaf to head. The rain trickled through our hair and we tasted the cool drink when we were able to catch some on our flat toungues.
Soon, the clouds drifted past, finding new trees to cover and new upturned mouths to fill. Maybe this time it would see a wood full of pine trees. It's droplets would not struggle through curls and leaves but effortlessly slide down thin needles to a soft bed of fallen brown.
Our hair stuck wet to our necks. Our clothes clung to our backs, our chest, our sides. We felt a chill in the once gracious shade of the trees and decided to move to the space between their overhang where the sun had room to warm the wet ground and our bodies. There in the weedy green, with satisfied bellies and wet tongues, with the sounds of nut shell falling on nut shell, our clothes dried in the sun.

Photos found on Guayayaba. She is pretty Great!

I hope you weekend is full of memory making moments!
