Such beautiful words

And now you are mine. Rest with your dream in my dream.

Love and pain and work should all sleep now.

The night turns on its invisible wheels

And you are pure beside me as a sleeping amber

No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams.

You will go, we will go together, over the waters of time.

No one else will travel through the shadows with me,

Only you, evergreen, ever sun, ever moon.

--Excerpt from And Now You Are Mine (Love Sonnet LXXXI) by Pablo Neruda

BIG friendship

Bright color + great packaging + big type = the big friendship bracelet. Plus a little love from me.

So quaint.

I am loving Olga Naiman's sweet little kitchen. It seems so Parisian even though she's in Brooklyn. Love that.

Stripes

Two weekends ago, the roommate and I trekked it out to Promove to look for apartments. We found one we liked and applied for it, then unfortunately they called us later to say they double leased the apartment. We were extremely disappointed and forced to start back at square one. So this past weekend, we got up our energy and drove around Atlanta again. Good news, we found one! She and I were jumping up and down we were so elated! We absolutely love this apartment.

Now that that is in order, I'm excited to think about painting. I just in love with striped walls lately.

Little bits of love.

The boy has been a lot of trips recently. Currently he's at Lake Sinclair with family. Here are a few pictures his aunt has sent me. Isn't the one of him and his cousin so darling?

Happy Birthday, America!

I had a blast on July 4th! Here are some fun pics from our day at the lake!
