my week in objects (mostly).

June 7, 2013

five little things that made my week.

1. this basil.
basil {because i finally stopped overwatering it and now it’s doing just fine}.

2. these corduroy cutoffs.
cutoffs {because i really needed them last weekend. also, because they remind me of my dad, circa 1987}.

3. this bathing suit.
bathing suit {because a year later a bathing suit bought at the end of the season is sort of like a bathing suit bought at the beginning of the season, minus the rigmarole}.

4. this new work computer.
computer bag {for fitting perfectly in my trusty satchel}.

5. this no-longer-there popsicle.
pops {because it’s strawberry season}.

other things:
i’d like to make this.
these are jaw-dropping.
greyhounds are everywhere lately.
this is sweet.

other things by me in other places:
meadow muddling.
french market totes.
my favorite planter.
a bouquet sans fleurs.
balcony lust.
strawberries are here! ceramic berry baskets.

    Wish I could grow basil. I am the world's worst at keeping plants alive. Jase bought me a beautiful orchid for our first valentine's day together, and even though they don't like too much water and I'm a serial underwaterer, I still managed to kill it by not giving it enough to drink!

    I have a pepper plant in my kitchen that I have overwatered/underwatered in rotation for the last year or so. I think I'm finally starting to find a good balance… feels good to see it looking so perky for once (we'll see how long it lasts)

    I'm growing basil too! I'm obsessed with checking up on it after work.

    Basil, man I cannot get that plant right. It starts out okay, but then there are flies. And then it gets all leggy and thin ad searches for the light….i suck at basil.

    Try sitting the basil plant on a saucer, and just watering the saucer: basil likes to take up water through its roots….I just found this out last week and my basil plant looks very happy
