spring, please.

It's been really nice lately—warm enough to ditch the winter coat yesterday—and I really really hope that's a sign that winter is over. I've started to feel a lot better and excited about the weather that is to come! All I want to do is lay on the grass. Today it's raining, but that's okay as long as it's not snow. (I actually kind of love the rain).

Above is a picture of a stencil I made yesterday. Not entirely sure what I'll even use it for, but I like it. I've been very tree happy lately.

And, it seems I have a boot obsession. This is the fifth pair of boots I've bought this year—except I didn't buy these, they were a gift from my mother-in-law. Yay! She was shopping in the States and picked them up for 20 dollars! They're not real leather, but I love the colour and they'll be good in all that rain. The best part about them is that they have a horse and horseshoe on the sole, which fits in with my other obsession right now: all things equestrian. Those are probably the same obsession, though.

And lastly, my pretty little owl plaque I bought on Etsy from VintageEmbellishments. Who doesn't love owls? It's cute and kitschy, and I have no idea where to hang it yet.



spring, and by summer, fall

















I'm feeling really warm lately, Autumn is my favourite season.
Maybe it's because the radiators in our building haven't been turned on, and we're cozying up with blankets and wool sweaters.
It'll be over soon (it will be winter), and way too soon.
Is there a place where it's always fall?
