rustic & vintage
My mood is usually set by the music I wake up to. This morning, it was soft folk, which translated into a rustic, vintage, full-of-fresh-flowers kind of day. Fresh, warm cinnamon rolls for breakfast — even though planning ahead is necessary, as well as a bit of work, they're so worth it — following my morning Bible time and I was in heaven.
This morning I became lost in thought, dreaming of country brunches, white farmhouses, fragrant fields of wildflowers, and drinking sweet tea from mason jars.
While I'd already known I loved food photography, this morning I realized my passion for it. I mean, getting to use pretty antique silverware, arranging flowers in jars, food, and a camera? Yes please.
After my refreshing morning, I felt a little daring and courageous while I was picking out my outfit. Thus, I mixed stripes and florals together today. Gasp. But really, it didn't look as awful as I thought it would. I was rather fond of the combination, actually. Thoughts?
Sometimes stepping out of one's comfort zone is nice.
The winner of the twenty five dollar gift certificate to New Fashioned Whispers is C!
The winner of the rosette bobby pins from Blythe is Michaela!
The winner of the four 4x6 prints from my etsy shop/blog is Mia Helen!
Congratulations winners! Please email me and we'll get your prizes to you as soon as possible. (note: If I don't hear from you within forty eight hours of this post being published, I will have to pick new winners.)
I've also "restarted" my project 365 blog, embrace. It has a fresh look and is now more of a visual journal than just a project. I'm excited, y'all, I'm not going to lie. I'd love if you'd stop by!
Happy Wednesday!
