Thank you so much, Teresa! I will confess that I regularly make stuff and think, "Is this adding anything to all the noise online?" That it felt like that to you means a lot! xx

Such a long two weeks. That Portugese pottery is beautiful, and Violet has such an eye for color (just like her mama!). Hoping that the next few feel less long. xx

I spawned a total artiste over here, and it makes me SO happy. She asked me to pick her up early from school today so she can come home and work on an art project she's excited about. 😍

Also—hang in there!!

Loved this. And that plant pot...was just talking about how we should finally starting adding indoor plants to this house...and that note from Violet 😭 I know she and Marin are so close in age and omg why does it feel like all of a sudden they're growing up SO fast?!

What's funny about their ages is when V was born, I felt like Marin was basically a teenager. But now, at this age, ten months is not that big of a gap! They'll be in the same grade this fall which kind of blows my mind, really!

Always love your curated Substack posts and your thoughtful design eye. Now I’m off to comb Etsy for a Portuguese flower pot! Also, that throwback digital note from Violet in September 2023 made me smile and almost weep from the sweetness. :)

This was like a vacation for my eyes. Beautiful as always.
