Small Morsels:

(Gerbera daisies for handmade wedding centerpieces)

      Hello dear readers! (Are you still around?!) I'm so sorry for the lack of proper posting these past few weeks. I took an unintentional break from blogging after my computer was broken in an unfortunate accident and I just recently got my precious piece of technology back from the repair shop. I'm really excited to start posting again as well as visit all of your lovely blogs and catching up on comments!

      The last few weeks have been a bit difficult and while I'd like to say that I can handle tough situations with elegance and grace... that isn't always how things go down. Perhaps one of my least graceful moments was when the first floor of my apartment got flooded and I was able to stuff a multitude of profane words into one sentence (a sentence that was as long as a paragraph)! Another ungraceful moment would have been my reaction after finding out that my computer had been damaged by someone other than myself. Needless to say... the last handful of weeks have helped me to have more patience during stressful situations. I have also learned that Murphy's Law always applies and that I should really savor the small morsels in life while I am able to! Here are a few things that have kept me positive as of late:

(Cut up hello kitty socks for my peep toe booties)

(A cheeseburger that was truly a religious experience!)

(Birthday consignment shopping at Simply Chic in San Francisco. Walking
into this boutique is like stepping to Carrie Bradshaw's closet!)

(An all veggie sandwich made by my neighbor)

(A truly edible coffee table arrangement made with
 rosemary, marigolds, and chamomile from my garden.)

(My love for upcycled vintage furniture continues with this bar cart.
When I received this little piece for free from my boyfriend's mom,
I knew it would be perfect painted gold!)

      I hope everyone out there is well, safe, and doing everything they can to see the beauty that is all around us! 

Yours,
Nico
