the asteroid belt

I planted these precious plantitas (zinneas in the clay pot, basil in the boot) the day I moved to Chicago, and with the help of the tiny shepherds, look how much they've grown in just two months! In just two months, look how much I've grown...

happy easter from my new chicago abode! my first week in the windy city has been quite a whirlwind, but more on that later. my cousins are here and grandma just turned on the polka- duty calls!

i've had many homes throughout my small, seperate lives, but grand old house on grand street is the one i'll always come back to. in a house that's seen more than a century, it's the perfect place for a dreamer like me to feign a life of decadence, right down to our golden apples.

out of that orange-colored view

didn't edit any of these photos at all. convinced that this city is magic

no one's porch beats mine on a sunny summer morning~ oatmeal, tea, my neighbors and me

this year i'm thankful for friends in every corner of the globe, and my family who's right here with me :)
