market monday | shelf decorating

Hello Lovelies!! So much change is occurring which is a good thing, but when I get stressed, I reorganize and decorate. I know…. it's atypical, but its where I get my zen. This weekend I was an editing machine and between breaks a snapped a couple images of the current state of some shelves. Being a creature of habit, I can never have enough white and light in my space for those of you who haven't noticed ;) . Accessorizing shelves + and table tops is Jewelry for the home. Hope you have a wonderful week!! Xx

| when a door closes | find a more beautiful one to walk through

Hello Lovelies!! First, I hope the week has been well. Second, I need to dedicate this to all the amazing women in my life. I think it's so important to nurture and find gratitude in friendship. I have been blessed with wonderful friends who inspire me everyday. My heart is full because of the love we give one another and I am grateful for the all the doors in life we have walked through together.  So….. when one door closes, a more beautiful + purposeful door will open for you next!!!
