Hippie Pasta

September 30, 2015

When it comes to going out for lunch or dinner, friends and family are forever saying, "Your choice. You have more restrictions and less to choose from." As a vegetarian ten years ago, this was definitely the case. And maybe in some smaller towns or cities, it still is. ...

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
