hello friends! as the last day of the august break, i thought i would break my silence a little early! i just want to express my gratitude to you for allowing me to partake in the break and share the month with you through my camera lens. i hope you all had fun seeing more of my ‘real life’ as i think it created a more personal space here. it also allowed me a little rejuvenation time and opportunity to be deeply inspired. i value each and every one of you and always look forward to waking up and chatting with you, and for that i am grateful. please stay tuned for september, as i have several exciting things to share (the first one starts tomorrow!). love and light to each you!

how has your august been? did you partake in the august break?

sneak peek of our bedroom! we made the headboard from scraps behind our local market (following these directions), so we only had to purchase a few hangers. with strung lights behind it, i like the rustic-chic feel it gives.
