The photos I’m posting today are nearly identical to photos I posted about a month ago, and for good reason – it’s a scene that plays out over and over again during the summer months. The elements are:

  • an old quilt that I love (the blue and yellow color scheme is so cheerful, isn’t it?)
  • a book (this time I had a perennial favorite, Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach, and a fun new book, Sourdough by Robin Sloan)
  • On this particular day I also brought along my bullet journal, my gratitude journal, and some fun washi tape (I love love love washi tape)
  • an icy drink (I’m really into iced coffee this summer, but ginger ale in a wine glass or poured into a tall glass that has been filled to the brim with ice first is also a favorite)
  • dappled sun filtered through the leaves of my favorite tree
  • a pillow, in case I want to take a nap

I’m a homebody. When coworkers tell me about their weekends of going here, there, and everywhere, it sounds nice, but honestly it also sounds exhausting. I think I’m a classic introvert – my batteries are recharged by staying close to home, surrounding myself with simple comforts, and engaging in quiet pursuits.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, friends.

Love,

Michelle xoxo
