Finally!

After five months of living in a shoe box on my dresser, my jewelry finally has a home.





I found the Guatemalan shelf at the thrift store on base at Ft. Hamilton. The framed decorative grate is Pinterest inspired.

I still need to find mini S hooks or figure out a way to rig some craft wire so I can hang bracelets and my necklaces with thinner chains.

But really, I'm just excited for any little thing that makes our apartment feel more lived in.

Happy Movember!

I promised myself

That I would blog this weekend.
So here it is just in case I don't get around to something more substantial.




I love Redhook. If I squint at the buildings I can see Spot Collins shoot a marble from a sling shot peeking out from a roof top. It's so old and charming. That reminds me, I need to blog about Newsies at the Play Mill in NJ along with the last 10 months of my life. Fabulous.

I wonder how old these cobble stones are.
