my week in objects (mostly).

March 15, 2013

five little things that made my week.

1. this hot sauce.piri piri sauce {because i’ve been inventing reasons to eat it all week}.

2. this afternoon light patch.
march light {because there are a few weeks in march when the sun is high enough in the sky that it pours into our apartment. three glorious hours}.

3. these wax flowers.
wax flowers {because they dress up a room so nicely, but without being fussy. you know what i mean}? lemon water {this lemon and sage water with lavender essential oil for fresh scents}.

5. this clamp light.
clamp light {because we suffered a few seedling casualties this week, so i decided to bring out the big guns…so to speak}.

other things:
i had the pleasure of meeting this woman once. everything she does is inspired. this especially.
i’m into silhouettes lately.
james says i can’t link to sharks without mentioning this.
i’m in the market for a new book. all three of these sound terrific.
chelsea‘s beautiful bouquets, all in one spot.
this dress, all spring long. please?

and more from me, elsewhere:
hiding dirt, in plain sight.
tiny green things.
spring branches.

    How did you make the lemon and sage water?? That looks like it would smell incredible!

      Just a mason jar filled with lemon slices, sage leaves, water and lavender essential oil heated in a saucepan with water!

    The wax flowers are lovely. I like to buy babies breath by itself for a super easy flower that lasts up to 2 weeks.

    Erin's officially got me into the spring scents. Why did I only ever do this during the winter before? Boiling up something sweet smelling tonight.

    I love waxflowers. When I worked in a florists they were one of my favourites (and there were plenty to choose from).
    Pussy willow's good too. There's something about spare-looking stems isn't there? They look like a still-life.

    Siracha is my favorite hot sauce by far, but this one looks just as good! I love this post as well, so simple but very nice. Great blog too!
