It's good to be home. Today is for relaxing, organizing and getting ready for the week. We woke up early and did some grocery shopping. Sundays are my favorite day of the week for so many reasons. I'm feeling refreshed and inspired after our little trip to Chicago. How was your weekend? Elsie
Pictured: Fabric for a project I want to do this week (via this Etsy shop), books and journals, this amazing tea (it has cinnamon, chili pepper and pink peppercorn) is so spicy and amazing, i made a cold brew today (my cup is from this Etsy shop), my parent's yearbooks (last week i told my dad i was sorry for keeping them for so long. he said it was ok because high school wasn't the best time in his life and that the best time in his life was raising kids with my mom... *best moment ever*), beet + ginger + apple juice, homemade salad- i tried a new salad dressing recipe today, pretty lights in the bedroom.
Being home and just chilling out on weekend is the BEST!
Oh I love your fabric pick, so lovely :)

Lovely pictures, is that your own printed fabric at the top?
I love being able to take stock and prepare on Sundays. I have a weeks holiday this week so I'm looking forward to seeing friends and getting some stuff sorted out.

So this has nothing to do with this particular post, but I was googling images this morning to help my husband write a sermon and I googled "dancing colors". Up came a plethora of paintings but a few caught my eye so I went to the website. From there I was just so impressed with all the great work I was seeing I put the blog into my reader so I wouldn't miss any. I went back to the blog and as I'm scrolling down, impressed by all the work, there is a picture of you (Elsie) with the artist. Found out this is your mom! So funny that my longtime favorite blogger is the daughter of this great artist I randomly found. So cool. What a small world!

Lulu- the tea is from David's Tea (added a link to the post- oops!)
Heather- that's so sweet! Nice you "meet" you and I am so glad you like my mom's work. :)) She's amazing.

Sounds like a nice relaxing sunday!
What are those round, kind of wooden looking things hanging? They are really cool, whatever they are:)

Looks and sounds like it was a perfect day! Nice that you had a little getaway to Chicago. Elsie, I know you and J like salads ... I have one on my site today, featuring hearts made of cheese. The perfect way to add protein to your greens! :)
