my week in objects (mostly).

April 6, 2012

five little things that made my week.

1. this beeswax candle.
candle
{because it was still chilly this week and reading to this guy in the evening felt cozy}.

2. this geranium.

geranium

{because i’m not sure if it will survive in the dimness of our apartment, but i’d like it to. its coral colored sisters, too}.

3. this coffee.
coffee

{because i’d gotten out of the habit of making it in the morning. and this week i liked the ritual}.

4. this magazine.
bride

{because it arrived unannounced and a quick flip through convinced me we’re doing this thing right}.

5. this bottle.
bottles
{because way back when i first made that salt scrub, i made some oil too. now i’m soft and scented geranium sweet}.

what about you? what little something made your week?

other things:
i’d really like one of these. please.
peach blossoms and book recommendations. favorite post {and comments} of the week.

    As I type this, I am enjoying a cup of french pressed coffee while a beeswax candle burns on the table next to several jars of flowers. They're all contributing towards making my day!

    Just stumbled upon your blog & I am in love! Everything in this post looks so comforting and is encouraging me to hideaway in bed all weekend long with a fresh book and warm drink!
