One day, we'd love to have a beautiful pair of bookshelves handcrafted by Black Swan Carpentry, but, for now, these will have to do because the spines of some of our books are in need of sitting upright on a bookshelf. Too, we'll be able to remove unpacked boxes of books that have been sitting behind the couch this whole time. I'm quite pleased with the new shelves, especially since we customized them with the Japanese decorative paper. This Halloween will mark two years since we've moved in. Progress is achingly slow, so when we get a little closer to making the place come together, it is quite gratifying.
As we age, we procure more and more stuff. I try to be really picky about what we let into the house, opting to not settle for landfill junk items. That said, here are some things that got through our doors:
I love stationery. I still send letters via the US Postal Service once or twice a week. So, I got this thing, since we've laid roots here in AR and it's been decided that I will keep my name.
A little before ATM and I married, my friends treated me to dinner, cocktails, and a little hen party embarrassment. I'm only getting around to recognizing what they've done for me because we wanted to keep the details of our day private. I am so, so grateful for this bunch of women who know what I like, know how to have a good time, and make me feel loved.
Here is the bracelet that KMHD & Brittany got for me.
Too, major thanks to Heather, Keiko & Leigh for enabling me to acquire my new favorite kitchen object, a grill pan. Uhn! I've already used it a thousand times and I just find it insane that I've just now gotten around to having one. Also, they got me a penis cookie cutter. I can't say that I've used it a thousand times or even once, but I think certain folks will be getting some real special holiday treats this year.
