my week in objects (mostly).

1. this napkin.

{and putting the “special” things into regular rotation.}

2. this tape measure.

{for being my trusty companion.}

3. these plans.

{for being in the works.}

4. this direct-to-metal primer.

{because some things just need to be painted.}

5. this hat.

{for protecting the tiniest head.}

other things:
