five little things that made my week.
1. this train window.
{because even though getting rides back into the city is awfully nice, this window offers a pretty spectacular view of the hudson}.
2. these test tubes.
{because they make perfect little flower vases}.
3. this cookie.
{because it’s not one cookie. but two. with nutella in between}.
4. this barbed wire.
{because it’s pretty cheery, as barbed wire goes}.
5. this glass.
{because water with lemon and mint was just about the only thing that could make this week tolerable}.
{because water with lemon and mint was just about the only thing that could make this week tolerable}.
and tonight, birthday candles. because it’s my birthday. just saying.

Yes! I've been missing my week in objects. I love this series. Happy birthday to you. The barbed wire is the best I've seen. If you must have barbed wire, this is the set-up. A few objects have felt special to me lately. A lemon in a small white bowl. A hopeful stem in a Mason jar of water. A couple of books resting on my table, The Apple Trees at Olema by Robert Haas and Excellent Women by Barbara Pym. Enjoy your celebration this eve.
Happy birthday! Hope it's a good one!

Hey there! I've only just discovered your blog today, so I wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed it! New York is a place I've always wanted to visit, but it's not an easy task as I live in Australia. You've transported me today with your beautiful photos though, so to that I want to say thank you and keep sharing – i will be looking forward to more posts!
Happy belated birthday too!
