sunny

It is once again a bright summer day in Oklahoma.

And I was too impatient to wait until it was better lighting to take pictures.

And that is all.

peace&love,

grand opening

Summer Tea Earrings

I just opened my new shop on Etsy yesterday and I am so excited. I decided earlier this year to stop sales at my previous Etsy store and it has only been recently that I have considered getting things going again. Check out Favoring Brave and let me know what you think! 

peace&love,

words to remember

We bought this print on our honeymoon and now it hangs over my desk. 

Love it.

a girl and her satchel

Husband (!) and I went garage saleing (is that a word?) last weekend to find furniture, because it is now inexplicably exciting to us to be all grown up like that, and instead we came home with a huge print of the philosophers at Athens for the dining room and this lovely red bag. 

It was love at first sight. It made me want to come home and clean out my collection of superfluous purses because they would all lose their luster next to this red leather drop of perfection. It has the perfect number of pockets, the perfect depth for a magazine (or small business tax permit forms, as was the case today), and the perfect built in organizational systems. This is a serious relationship we got going on right now. 

Also I felt like wearing houndstooth and velvet together today to the office, so that's fun.

Clearly faces are not important to me... oh well. You know what I look like anyway.

peace&love,

Jill

to have and to hold

Every blushing bride needs a bunch of flowers to hold on to, and I was no exception. But I am the exception in the fact that I get to keep my flowers, looking just as fresh as ever, for as long as I like. Like what you see? Tutorials for most of them coming soon!

The vase was a wedding present from my aunt and uncle, the rosary was a gift from my grandma. All flowers handmade by me.

peace&love,

Jill

let's call this home

{I love that my husband is cool with having a teal kitchen.}

married.

Well, we did it.

And now my project is this blog. 

This blog, and finding what I want to do with my life, since I know who I want to do it with.

So here's to new beginnings, trusting God, and favoring the brave.

peace&love,

Jill
