things that fall.

things that fall
me, for you.

I like it a little dirty.

Vestiges of winter.

what spring does.

You do to me what spring does to the cherry trees.

It was a sunny day so my roommate and I decided to do some exploring and ended up finding the most gorgeous views of the city, ever. We thought about picnicking but all I ended up doing was buying the most expensive watermelon juice in my entire life.. I should've gotten a Coke too.

Coca Cola.

I love sunshine.

nothing is better than

nothing is better than the taste of your laughter in my mouth 
and the settling of your fingertips on my skin.

On the weekends I try to find time to walk the city, grab a coffee and buy some flowers for myself.

Will you have some tea with me?

Bread pudding.

swedish.

When I speak to you, my mind becomes an alien thing 

and I don't know where to put the words 

like this is the first time I've spoken English, and maybe I really speak Swedish and maybe I don't.

rustic.

It's wool, warmth, slightly prickly. It smells like coffee grounds that I haven't yet thrown out. It's gingham. It's your bed and your hands and me curled up in the space beneath your chin. Rolled sleeves, a slight touch of hand, the fraying leather strings on your shoes.

more than what you do.

I want you to tell me about every person you've ever been in love with. Tell me why you loved them, and why they loved you. Tell me about a day in your life you didn't think you'd live through. Tell me what the word 'home' means to you.

See I wanna know more than what you do for a living. 

I want to know how much of your life you spend just giving. And if you love yourself enough to also receive sometimes.

bow ties and pins.

My friend Grace recently finished a Kickstarter project designing tops, bow ties, and jewelry for Sew Love, a startup that focuses on crowdsourced clothing.  I hopped over to her apartment in Oakland to say hello and caught her finishing up these orders, just in time for the holidays.

Suede bow ties

Notice the tiny pin stuck in the neck of the body form? Such a tiny detail, I love it.

Hipster heaven.

Ladies and gentlemen, how to properly tie a bow tie.

Morning light is gorgeous.

There's something about this image that I love. It's quiet and calming, and there's a hint of blue in the shadows of the wall that pop with aqua and teal of the painting underneath the kitchen island. 

Setting up for jewelry making.

A surprise birthday gift for me! Beautifully and lovingly wrapped, 4+ years and counting.
