A Girl After My Own Heart

Dancing AND playing the violin?? Who knew such a talent existed. While I was searching for musical inspiration for my violin lessons I stumble across this crazy wonder. Meet Ms Lindsey Stirling, she's amazingly spirited and brimming with talent. Hope you enjoy her as much as I did.

Easy on the Senses

Even though I know that I will only get to enjoy them for a week or two I love cut flowers. I always feel guilty about buying them though because I know they are a frivolous expense. But they make the atmosphere in the apartment immediately more cheerful and so I indulge.

I also love flower arranging and get a kick out of playing around with new flora. These beauties are straight from the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. I adore the flowering cabbages.

The eucalyptus and pine branches make this one a delight for the olfactory senses as well. Looking forward to coming into our bedroom at the end of the night :)

Our Newest Addition

Since moving into our current apartment I have been very slowing building our nest into what I someday want our future house to be like. After much debate, some finessing, some (I'm ashamed to admit) pouting, and finally victory Mr. Mine and I purchased a new rug for our bedroom and have therefore solidified the colors of our bedroom for many(many, many, many) years to come.

Here is our new love child:

Because I am a bit of a nerd here is the approximate color scheme we chose:

Mellifluous Muse

I can listen to this over and over again. Simply just marveling at the beautiful resonance that I can only hope to one day achieve. I heard this for the first time about a month ago as part of a mash-up. I could play this daily and just be happy. Since I had my first violin lesson yesterday I have been thinking about the suggestions my teacher made. She suggested that I find a piece of music that I want to work towards. Perhaps this should be it!



Oh, and here is the original mash-up that I found it through!
