daylight savings gets me every year. there is something so strange about it getting dark at 5:20 p.m. one would think that after twenty three years, the idea that it will half the year get dark at 6:00, the same time it does three hours later the other half, wouldn’t be so hard to grasp. yet, somehow, every year, it is. i can’t count how many times i have said to camden that it feels like ten o’clock when it’s about seven.

on a completely different note, have you ever heard of the artist pete murray? i found this australian singer/songwriter on myspace (remember myspace?) back in high school. the song below is one of my favorites by him. enjoy!

i wore: jacket, anthropologie // sweater, anthropologie // shorts, american eagle // tights, j.crew // boots, frye // purse, vintage coach // necklace, american eagle

we had a very quiet weekend at home, well at least kramer and i did. camden spent most of his working, as usual. i sometimes wonder what it would be like having camden here on the weekends, actually having the same days off, you know? although the ones spent alone can sometimes be on the lonely side, it does make the ones he has off that much more special i think.

i tend to be a homebody. i find i am most content spending my extra time within our home, working on projects or just relaxing. i found this weekend was especially that way. it was nice to have nowhere to go and nowhere to be. to just curl up on the couch with a good movie and a flickering candle. some weekends are nice this way; quiet, cozy, and full of thought, just what the doctor ordered.

+ my favorite winter candle from target – natures wick in holiday wreath – wooden wick crackles as it burns
+ kramer napping on his favorite sheepskin fur
+ beautiful elastics, my new favorites
+ slowly dying sunflowers
+ club soda with lime – my favorite drink

winter

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
every year as soon as halloween passes and the calendar flips to that first day of november, a little battle within begins, the battle of when to start decking those halls. if my heart had it her way, a lit christmas tree would already be strung in white, snug in our house as a charlie brown christmas played loudly on repeat, all the while peppermint brownies would be baking in the oven, filling the house with the perfect christmas scent. however, my head tells my heart to shut up for a bit because it’s only about three weeks to soon. usually about ten days before thanksgiving my head starts slowly giving in and letting a bit of christmas sneak in until it admits full defeat as they both just can’t wait any longer. i would say by about november 20th, the christmas holiday has almost taken over our home. well, as tradition would have it, today i couldn’t help but dream about where our tree would fit in our new house and i didn’t stop myself from purchasing my favorite winter candle at target and lighting it as i do every year just about now, for the very first time. a strike for the head and a win for the heart. to ease the strain just a bit, i made a little winter wish list for this up coming snowy season, a few beautiful things for the winter holiday. . . how soon do you start celebrating the holiday season?
