happy summer.

i had a different post planned for today. but last night, as we finished the dinner we brought to enjoy by the river, this happened. on the first night of summer. and things like this just can't go unrecognized. here's to a summer full of happy accidents.

from new jersey. just a smattering of the things we saw on our mini-adventure to the garden state. and proof that even a gray-skied day can finish with a pretty extraordinary sunset.

stinky.

bread and cheese
this weekend, some rare time off to enjoy the wedding of a friend and a luxurious sunday stroll through our new neighborhood. in the late afternoon we popped into stinky bklyn to taste their selection of stinky goodness and came home with an aged gouda and a delightfully crystalized prairie breeze cheddar. just what we needed.

< two fifty: life in a tiny apartment.

air plants
the apartment we moved into just more than a week ago, is under two hundred and fifty square feet. and that includes the loft where we keep our bed. i'll give you just a moment to contemplate that level of coziness.

digested?

needless to say, squeezing ourselves into an apartment roughly five times smaller than the last one we lived in has presented some challenges, so i thought i'd start a little serialized survival guide. nothing extraordinary, just a few tips for keeping sane in a tiny space. i hope you'll indulge me. 

here goes:

survival tip #1

tiny pots. 

every apartment needs a little something green to liven up the place. and when you live in under 250 square feet, there needs to be a definite emphasis on the little. no room for your grandmothers beautiful stoneware crock. on my day off, i made my way over to grdn on hoyt street and picked out three tiny air plants to fit inside my tiny mudpuppy pots. so far, the little beauties are getting along just fine and taking up decidedly little space. which is a good thing, because that's all there is anyway.

roses from around my new neighborhood. some of them are past their prime, but all of them robust enough to allow for a monday morning photo shoot. it's my first day off since we made our move to the big city and so much has happened since the last time i last wrote. we're busy nesting and exploring and finding our way, but so far we couldn't be happier in our new city. many good things to share with you all, soon. thanks as always for sticking around. xo.

city girl, country girl.

citycountry
well, i think i've held you guys in suspense long enough. i still have some photos of the listen closely project to share, but i couldn't hold in my exciting news any longer, so those will have to come later. i'm headed back to the farm for the summer, and could not be happier. james and i scouted out apartments in the city last week and we're going to become brooklynites by june. lots of things to do between now and then so posting might be light for awhile, but i wanted to let you know what i've been up to and get you excited for lots of city girl, country girl posts! xo.
