Since I was a kid, I've adored the magic of the pe

Since I was a kid, I've adored the magic of the personal workspace. A safe little nook with notebooks and art supplies and wifi. A place where ideas turn into tangible things and, just for the time you're there, the turbulence of the outside world can't reach you. Being there is permission to focus on doing something creative. I especially find that being in these spaces on a rainy spring day is the perfect formula for a happy sigh, even when the space isn't "perfect". 🌼

Best recent purchase? A mini heart-shaped waffle maker. Now I want an industrial one that will cook like six at a time. 😁🫐🧇❤️

There are a lot of creative things I'm hopelessly fickle about, but one love I've had since I was a tiny human was decorating tables and prepping special little things for celebrations of all kinds. It's truly my favorite thing in the world. 🎉💐✨

An epic evening out with the one and only @lashthelioness! ✨ My first-ever vlogger friend and a kindred spirit to be sure. Many laughs were had (and plans to form an NYC vlogger meetup were ruminated over, hehe).
