back in the swing of things

Hello! Hope you're off to a lovely fall and have been too busy enjoying yourselves to notice I took a few week hiatus. SO much has been happening personally, professionally, existentially, gastronomically, and socially that I've let for a song slip down my list of priorities.

In truth, one of the reasons I've been posting less is because the interesting things I love to do, and love to post about, aren't happening right now. Creative DIY's, little decor hacks and improvements to my home's functionality, and projects that involve a new skill take more space and time than I have available at the moment. While I appreciate our little apartment, our limited indoor and outdoor square footage (let alone the lack of storage) is just not conducive to big weekend projects that I find most engaging. I think, as a result, I've been apathetic towards posting regularly, because in my opinion, the best content is original DIY's, and I don't have too many of those to share of late.

BUT. I've decided to continue on. I still adore reading and cooking and drinking and traveling and dreaming about interior design, all things I can continue to post about until I have more physical space and opportunity.

Here's a few snapshots of my last month. See you tomorrow, for reals.
