From a few weeks ago after thinking I have no talent/no one wants to hire me/blahblah, things have really turned around for me.
1. fulltime freelance work from an old job that I loved!
2. selling large prints at my etsy starting next week
3. wallpapering my bookshelf (types of ferns) and dresser (inkwell pen nibs in red for the top drawers, old Italian alphabet capitals in the bottom drawers.) Turns a simple Ikea piece of furniture into something beautiful. I also added these knobs that look like coated pieces of coral from Anthropologie (that I cannot find on their website)
4. Tim Walker: Pictures, a book for $125, but getting it for $50 on sale at Anthro. Oh yes. Extreme markdown on my second favorite photographer’s book!
5. happy friends
6. drinking champagne on New Year’s Eve
7. large omelets on New Year’s Day
8. good books – The Child Thief by Brom, HI by Ray Fenwick, A Year in Japan by Kate T. Williamson, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (from Ame), Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits (from Grandma Mary), I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, Pursuit of Love & Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
9. good music – Ivana XL, Acid House Kings, Taken By Trees, First Aid Kit, The Like, The Smiths (haha which one is not like the others? Sad boy singers in the 80′s versus soft girl singers in the 00′s)
10. FFFFOUND! This site makes my life/freetime.
11. apartment finally replaced our leaking radiator and leaky kitchen faucet! Warm apartment without drips anywhere.
12. My mom was on My Parents Were Awesome! One of my favorite tumblrs.
13. happy cats that sleep next to you and on you all night :)
Lucky 13.
