Sharing the Love.
Today, just one of those days. A blah day. A tired day. A rather be shopping kind of day.
Come lunchtime, still dressed in pj’s and a pout, the postman brought around a whole lotta Krysta love in a box. You may remember, I live for these parcels. There’s no telling what might have caught the girls eye and knowing she has the most fantastic taste in everything, I get giddy with excitement waiting to see inside. An annoying habit of mine though, I like to savor. I made myself wait a few hours, wash my hair, clear the house of the noisy people and sit down with the Box of Happy and my camera.
Now, see why I get excited?
As always, there was so much to love..I didn’t get time to photograph everything, the noisy people came back rather quickly, but here’s a few bits of gorgeous..
A journal with a Monique Duval quote that says “Then swing your window open, the one with the fresh air and good eastern light and watch for wings, edges, new beginnings..”
Catalogues. Anthro & umm. That other one. That has everything I need to own. That I can’t think of because I’m still tired. Less blah but more tired. Tap, tap, tap. Urban Outfitters.
Oh, brace one’s self. SPRINKLES cupcake mix. When I met Krysta last year in California, she forced these morsels of wickedness upon me. Now you know my loyalties lie with Carousels but, if I’m on the other side of the World and have to make do..Sprinkles come pretty close. I know, I did a comparison check six times over.
The MOST gorgeous Janie and Jack dress for Ivish. I would have shown the front except she was too busy happy dancing to stand still..Check the link if you want to see it properly! (And excuse the floor that’s waiting for carpet.)
Yes, I do love my goodies very much but more than that..I’m so incredibly grateful for this amazing person who lives on the other side of the World and right in my heart, all at once. Who, in her own missing of her beautiful Dad, still thinks of me. Thankyou sweet girl. It isn’t enough but all I have.

I hope you know, in your heart of hearts, how much you truly help others by sharing this blog. Of course there are beautiful pictures to look at, and you write so well…but because of Ava, who I never knew (but even in pictures I can see she looks like a beautiful, sweet ange) you are able to share things that help others…how amazing. And my motherly heart knows you’d rather have her here, than help all the people in the world. But since she did leave this Earth before you and is waiting patiently to see you all again, I’m so thankful for you and your blog…it may sound silly, but it is so true. God Bless your beautiful, precious family.

I think anything that comes with a bit of colored baker’s string wrapped around it is a wonderful thing. I’d join you for the cupcakes when you mix them up, if you like. =) There’s just something so right about little girls dancing in cute dresses. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Oops! I tried leaving the above comment and it posted as Katy, but really it’s me who would join you for Red Velvet cupcakes. Anytime. =)

What a most excellent pick-me-up!! :o) Those Sprinkles cupcake mixes are divine. Enjoy. :o)
-
What a treat! Personally I don’t think you could have gotten a better shot of the dress, I
love the behind view:)
-
I agree with Donna – leave the floor. It’s like covering up beautiful hair with a hat; or a big, juicy steak with ketchup (I know you’re a veggie, but you get the drift). The picture of Ivy is adorable, and I love the color of the dress.
Chin up, Sunshine. :)

Oh dear God, I WANT a cupcake now!! What a lovely care package (aptly named, aren’t they?). I needed that Monique Duval quote today.
-
I actually really like the wood floor too… probably not what you wanted to hear. I love your pictures and how well you capture the innocent joy of a child.
-
ok i just want to reach through this computer and hug miss i – she is a precious precious child dancing away in her new dress. i feel her joy completely. xo

Oh My Sheye – How happy I am to see that your love in a box arrived. How I wish you could see the smile on my face knowing it made you smile. How I wish I were there to dance with Ivy. How I wish I could share in the cupcake goodness. You are so deserving darling and it’s the only thing I can do across the vast miles to show I love and miss you today and every day.
Yubs,
K xx

I love seeing in frames, I love the beauty in the ordinary, I love my camera, I love that when I see images I hear too. I love the latelight, I love finding moments I didn’t imagine and I love creating moments I did. I love learning more every day, I love sharing what I’ve come to know, and I love making pictures pretty.
I’m so glad you stopped by. xx
Hi Sheye…love this package…can you tell me if that’s a bathing suit for a little girl and who makes it??? I have a 3 year old that would love it! Also, as an interior designer I LOVE THE WOOD FLOORS, leave them rustic, white wash them, or ebonize them…no need to cover with carpet!!!!
