Treasury tool supported by the dog house

lately, blogging has felt more like a chore than a pleasure. i have found so many inspiring things [like the beautiful etsy treasury i put together above], but i just cannot seem to bring myself to write about them. 

so bare with me while i find my words.

sometimes...

via

ampersand love.

i love ampersands. obviously. so when i saw via twitter that grace bonney just posted about these beautiful wooden ones, i knew i had to share.

bonus? they're only $15 right now. 

well, what are you waiting for? get to shopping! and pick one up for me, will ya? :)

sunday quotes.

"I have found that, just as in real life, imagination 

sometimes has to stand in for experience."

~ Steve Martin

"Know this: Our problems can be solved. Our challenges 

can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it 

leads to a better place."

~ President Obama

"Accept who you are, and revel in it."

~ Mitch Albom

"Believe in yourself. Dream. Try. Do good."

~ Mr. Feeny

i hiked in my tom's.

when i put this list together back in may, i really had no idea what hiking entailed. in my head, it basically involved ugly hiking boots, sweating, bugs and wheezing - all of which i hated. but, i figured that a lot of people loved doing it, so i should experience it.

so on thursday, a. and i packed our bags and headed two and half hours northwest to asheville. our first stop? chimney rock state park.

chimney rock [where the flag is] is approximately 2,280 feet high. no, we didn't climb that.. we took the elevator up and then climbed to exclamation point - a .7 mile/150 foot uphill hike. pretty difficult, but well worth it.

after our hike, we spent the afternoon in chimney rock, and the evening and following morning in asheville. on our way back home, we stopped at dupont state forest.

i have never seen waterfalls up close [except niagara falls, if you can count that], so i was super excited to see triple falls. the clincher, though? parts of the hunger games was filmed there! yes, i am a geek. 

the hike was about a mile round trip - and then we decided to climb some of the rocks. can you find me? :)

so yes, there was some sweating and some bugs - but no wheezing and no ugly hiking boots. i did it all in my tom's! and you know what? i loved it. i am already trying to persuade a. to go hiking with me once a week :)

autumn.

autumn, to me, is harry potter.

music monday.

happy monday, dears.

today calls for photo editing, yoga & mexican hot chocolate because it's cool and rainy - an actual fall day in my neck of the woods! i love it.

this music monday post comes from delta rae. if you've never listened to them, you're missing out. they are raw, deep & super fun. this is their first single and my favorite of theirs.

enjoy!
