this weekend was spent hiding under my quilted rose blanket next to the fire, drinking hot coco, reading books about giant pumpkins, naughty rabbits, big blue whales and wild things. while i watched the rain fall today, i made my christmas list, which includes: a gold antique pocket watch, silver teapot necklace, shabby chic blanket trunk, a new quilt, a braided rug, embroidery and needlepoint books, and a white rod iron quilt rack. what are you asking for this christmas?
i hope you are all doing well and staying warm xx

my grandparents live on the most beautiful farm in minnesota. acre after acre is overflowing with corn, tomatoes, apples, lavender and so much more. chickens and cows run around everywhere. they have three beautiful horses, two dogs and a bunch of cats who have found their way to the farm and never left.
my grandmother wrote me a letter just the other day telling me how much she loves life on the farm, and how she'll miss it so terribly when they move. they are planning to move to the north, and live near itasca state park, which really is the most beautiful place. i am sad that i won't be able to spend time on the farm in the summer, or watch the snow fall on the barn in the winter while we sit around the fire sipping hot coco. but i am looking forward to long hikes in the forest, and walking through the headwaters of the mississippi river. she said that she knows her and grandpa are getting "too old" to farm now, but i swear they're as young as the day they bought the farm.
her letter got me thinking about the kind of life i would like to have. there are so many places i would like to live, so many jobs to try out, and so much to see. my grandma always tells me she wouldn't have it any other way, that she knows she made the right choice moving from germany to live on the farm with grandpa and raise a big family. i wonder if i'll ever find that perfect life. i dream of a snowy cabin in the mountains, or a ranch in the heartland, or maybe a house on the lake. what does your dream life look like? where would you like to spend your days?

went to disneyland for my birthday today.
it never changes, no matter how many times you go.
it will always be just the same as when you were five years old.
magical and amazing.
originally i had planned to dress as a faerie for hollowe'en, i even made my whole dress already, but at the last moment i found a perfect blue coat, and knew i had to dress as peter rabbit. i even found a perfect carrot sequin bag, and vintage bunny ears. i'll post pictures of the whole outfit soon.
what are all of you dressing as for hallowe'en?
have a wonderful night everyone ♥
went for a walk this morning, it was so beautiful. i felt like i was in a magic forest, somewhere deep in the amazon. it was so dark and damp, the smell of wet leaves and moss is still stuck in my nose. i think i would like to walk there every day.
i promise to read all of your wonderful updates soon. xx

i'm going back home to california for a few months, i don't know how much i'll be around, but i'll try to post once a week or so. i hope you're all well ♥
this video for the toast autumn 09 collection has put me even more in the mood for fall. it is such a beautiful video. i have watched it over and over again, dreaming this was my life. please oh please hurry up snow.
today is the autumnal equinox, when day and night are the same length. you can feel the chill in the wind. it's time to pull out all of my thick sweaters, tights and boots. i have missed my soft vintage gloves, very favorite brown leather satchel bag and the feeling of a warm scarf wrapped around my neck.
i want to dance the night away.
i want to dance the night away.
i have been spinning round and round, feeling dizzy with excitement.
i feel like i haven't slept in days. my eyelids are heavy, but it feels nice. i don't want to sleep life away. the rain is pouring down, as the sky sparkles and cracks with lightning and thunder. i am huddled on the couch under a quilt, with images of witchy women, black finger nails, pumpkins covered in glitter, pointy boots, and old worn, tattered books filled with ancient words dancing across my mind. today i am happy to be here.
