small, pretty things

in a small, pretty list

the three-spoked prongs on the beetle antennae that I saw for the first time this past summer. how cool!

stamps

puddle reflections

an intentional hairpin

asterisks

when dish soap breathes a little bubble

the cows on this 1950s cabinet that I want so badly it pains me

perfect paw prints in the snow

Le Labo labels

black sea salt

a kiss on the cheek from an old man with a beard

ginko leaves

this vintage rocking horse brooch

the simplicity, promise and hope of a Scrabble letter

pillow creases on skin

matches

“you’re welcome”

embroidery of any sort

this paperweight by John Derian

those little tiny meringues form Trader Joes

blueberry magnets

winks

heartbeats

a cord of leather

robin eggs

the boxes by ByFinn

tortoise buttons

calligraphy

braids

bedside ring dishes (especially when they’re magically from your future mother-in-law. thank you Tishy)

⠀ `· . ୨୧⠀ ← that

an arm-grab from excitement

lunchbox love notes

him

Chiquita banana stickers

when the moon is its most slivery

polaroids, regardless of capture

etchings on a key

a used-up crayon nib

Edison bulbs

fish scales

the fleeting, bright blue underbelly of a live flame

seed pearls

chocolate chips (mini)

clovers

wrinkles from years of emotion

baby lips

gift tags

brushstrokes

pointilism

Pillsbury crescent rolls

the tiny rainbows that flock across my body thorough my shower window

smarties

a Chick-fil-a fry

vegetables, in any capacity

even in a $550 LOEWE peapod charm, yes

granulated turbino sugar

& shimmering flaky salt atop a cookie

a cardinal spotted amidst the snow

laugh lines

the dimples in hammered metal

pocket notebooks

the eyes I’ve been randomly drawing for years

and the miniature ones by Richard Cosway of 1742

those translucent squishable pills

mason jars

knuckle freckles

shaped sprinkles

stars (from afar of course)

when watercolors blend together through a quietly-obnoxious water droplet

watch clock hands

“..made me think of you”

the little cherry’s stained-glass pebbled skin that I photographed this week

those pearlescent caviar spoons

drops of oil in water

terrazzo specks

Mignonne Gavigan’s designs

Emma Bridgewater’s coffee mug illustrations

a rogue eyelash

the travel painting set that Jake got me for christmas

Coke bottle caps

pink ice melt salt

Sabre flatware

a stick of butter + its wrapper

checkers

the mark of a kiss

spurs

and you!

xoxo, me
