wow wow wow…. I am so blown away by the response to my little 4 Simple Goals Challenge! It's been so much fun to read through different peoples small goals. Feels like a really healthy way to start a new season. Here are just a few goals that really made me smile! I've spent a lot of time looking at reader's goals… things like "get a professional massage", "create a space for me to live creatively", "visit a new local restaurant/shop each week", "have more tea dates" and "become a regular reader of a cooking blog".
these small goals have the potential to make daily life so much richer and happier! recently, i've been insanely busy due to a huge project in my life. i've been working 12 hours most days and have had very little 'me time'. in every season of life there is give and take! i'm sure i would feel similarly if i had a new baby or countless other big commitments/life changes. my work is a wonderful part of my life, but i've noticed myself emotionally 'checking out' from life due to being so busy and i really want to enjoy each day during this happy time! these little goals are my simple reminders to enjoy my busy crazy life, one day at a time! i'm honored that so many of you have joined in.
here's something pretty fun from my weekend. mr. larson and i found a pretty amazing vintage camera collection upstairs in our new shop. we were unpacking and cleaning them for the store and i fell in love a little bit with this sweetheart. here's a shot from above looking into the viewfinder…
it's a pretty magical view. HAPPY Monday! els
ps. i'll be sharing more shop progress photos today! we finished some exciting things over the weekend.

as a vintage lover and seller I am SO excited to see the inside of your shop! I dwell in Portland, but if I was even a state away I would be there opening day. Congrats!!

Elsie,
Are you guys going to be selling all of the stuff from the store online??? I SURE hope so…I’d be a regular online customer for sure!!
that camera is so cool!
sounds like the new store is going to be an amazing wonderland of treasures. 🙂
I know I’m late on this…
but OH MY GOODNESS!
Congrats on the engagement!
Y’all WILL have cute little crafty kids…and they’ll be adorable.
And no doubt the wedding will be awesome, as well as the marriage.
Oh my, congratulations.
I would find it so hard not to KEEP things if it was my shop! You have much more self control than I do :/
we just got one of those this weekend too and bought film at urban outiftters! we just finished a roll and should get it developed soon so check for a post later next week maybe! it is so weird taking pictures with it because of the mirror… it took me forever to even take a picture because i would move the wrong way or tilt it upward instead of down! photography is quickly becoming a fun new hobby for us!
xo,

Nike Mens Air Jordan 8 Original of Black True Red Hoja Publicado el 12 de enero de 2010 El nike dunk sb shoes es un muy subestimado clásico. Si usted es un fan de Blazers o clavadas debe haber un poco de amor se muestra a este modelo. Por suerte Nike Air Jordon 13 shoes black white da cuenta de la necesidad de un nuevo color pocas maneras y se caen los modelos de este tipo en us.The Hoja Nike Air Jordon 13 shoes black red está hecho de una simple gamuza superior hecho en un tono más llamativo de color verde que casi hace que uno anhele una Granny Smith manzana. La lengua se hace en nylon del mismo color, mientras que el revestimiento, Swoosh y suela se realizan en todo el blanco. http://www.nikesbox.com/
I posted my goals yesterday on my brand new blog. 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration! <3
