My Favorite Room


Not only does this room have the most sunlight pouring in, but it holds many of my favorite things: books, childhood knickknacks, music boxes, blythe dolls, love letters from my husband, photo albums and our piano.

Eventually I'd like to add a mid century modern love seat of a fainting sofa to this room, so I can read in the sun.


Have you heard the Civil Wars? They're amazing! You should check them out if you haven't heard them.

Mint


I'm obsessed with mint these days, though I don't own anything in mint.
Hope you have a mint-filled spring!

Italy


I am gearing up for my trip to Italy and the Mediterranean; the weeks can be counted on my fingers. This photo of Cinque Terre, Italy is making me more anxious!

Day Dreams


Daydreaming has been on my mind.

I could win a prize in daydreams; I go into depth of what I want to happen. But, let me be frank, often my daydreams end up disappointing me, because they aren't real, and they probably won't happen.
I daydreams come in wide variety:

• I've been an actress in a rave movie and gotten past my fear of people watching me.
• I've moved to California and become a great designer/photographer.
• I've been a highly desired photographer, doing shoots for fashion and travel.
• I've casually run into various famous people and made a difference in their lives.
• I've owned tiny elephants.

Right now I can't help but daydream about jobs. I get so caught up in a daydreams about various companies that have open positions that I qualify for, but they require a move; something harder to do as a couple. I daydream about the ways it will boost my design, and career.

The daydream I need to get lost in now is my trip to Venice, Italy and the subsequent Mediterranean cruise. It's not far off (after 2.5 years of planning it), and it's real.

What sort of daydreams do you get caught in?

Redesigning

I redesigned my Mallory Nicole Design & Illustration logo today, refreshing my portfolio and resume as well. I feel better. I've also been working on a wedding invite.

Today's February Photoaday prompt was "sun," but I forgot about it until the sun set. So, in honor of my missed photo, here are a couple of West Palm Beach photos I recently edited.

Oh, Hello

I'm alive. I promise. One of the worse sicknesses I get are a case of the lazies. Seriously, it is hard to shake. For a couple of weeks I have only taken care of what I needed to. It's bad. But I feel like I'm back on track! So I leave you with photos of my awesome dolls. (thinking about putting the first one in the guestroom.)

The Wiegands



I am usually a sucker for design blogs, but for a couple of months now I have been reading a blog written by Casey Wiegand; she has a beautiful soul, full of compassion. God has used her posts to comfort me and challenge me to have more faith.
At times, when I get caught up in daydreams about a new car, or the couch that I want for my library I get overwhelmed by the lack of freelance work I’m getting. I worry about how I’m unable to get nicer things, forgetting that I have more than I need already.
Casey and her husband have so much faith that God will provide what they need when they need it, not just for them, but their two beautiful children. Reading her words has moved me in many ways to be a better person.
I don’t want to give away all of her awesome qualities and details; you can check that out on her blog here.
Photos are from here.
