i thought i would share some lovely images this morning. most of these were taken at my favorite local vintage shop–ruby rose.
Hello sleeping all night with a serious cuddle bug. When we are out of town, Steve and I spilt up and each take a kiddo in the hotel room. Matthias and I were snuggle buddies–that kid is like velcro!
Hello waking up to an incredible LA sunrise. The sky was bright orange. I wish I could have slept a bit longer–but if you have to wake up at 6am, you might as well get a gorgeous sunrise!
Hello heading over to UCLA for a pulmonology appointment. David is on a new inhaler {flo-max} and he seems to be doing well.
Hello David being healthy! After being sick for almost 8 weeks straight, has been so happy and engaged. It makes my heart full.
Hello eating healthy. We really splurged around the holidays and enjoyed all the yummy food. Last week we ate lots of fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats and cheeses and scrambled eggs. Does bacon count as a lean meat? I think so…
Hello menu planned for this week. I am planning to make meatloaf with ground turkey and a veggie lasagna {it uses zucchini instead of pasta}. And we’ll have enough for leftovers–so I’ll only cook twice.
Hello clearing out–our closets, drawers and toy baskets. I’m making things more organized and giving myself more headspace. It feels great.
Hello 7 bags to take to the salvation army. What?!
Hello music. Have you heard The Civil Wars? Oh my word. They’re magical. Also The Head and The Heart. My sister just got it for me. Love.
And Hello to David’s sweet piano tunes. Well, sometimes they are sweet and sometimes they are really LOUD and crazy. And sometimes he gets stuck on one note over and over and over.
Hello crystal chandelier. We don’t have a chandelier above our dining room table and I kinda think we need one, don’t you?
Hello clean house. I am working on dealing with lots of paperwork and junk and having a place for everything. I am so motivated.
Hello friends. Hello new week. Hello ideas waiting to be discovered.
What are you saying hello to this week? Link up in the comments or let us know in the comments section.
Love that “flower” necklace! Where can I find something like that?
Thanks so much for the music recommendation, I’m totally hooked!
Hey Lisa! Love this store, every time you blog about it I wish I lived close by. One day I WILL make it in! 🙂

Hello, Monday. Hello to showing “Super 8” to my film class. Hello to a little girl who doesn’t want to nap anymore (whaa!). Hello to making plans with close friends. Hello to my youngest’s first visit to the dentist. Hello to watching my 8th grade niece play basketball, and to my older daughter’s Daisy meeting (the one where it’s time to sell Girl Scout cookies!). Hello to some sledding in the Cascades this weekend!
I love the “hello ideas waiting to be discovered” line.

Yesterday at church, a friend was wearing one of your necklaces. She was surprised I knew who had made it. You’re business must be doing well here in MA. Congratulations.

I’m saying hello to a quiet day of home school and cheddar potato soup. It’s cold and rainy here so on my blog I posted pictures of warmer, sunnier days.

Hi Lisa! Happy New Year! I love your website, and I lLOVE my new Family Tree necklace. My girls bought it for me from your shop. I received it for Christmas, and have yet to take it off!
I hope to see your shop one day, when I visit my daughter & her family….
I love the beautiful pics you posted! Just wanted to say if your dining room doesn’t need a chandelier, mine does! I have been on the hunt but am having a hard time finding any around where I live!

DOZENS of new products being sewn * sunshine * cozy slippers * a healthy, giant salad for lunch
