Abigail Glaum-Lathbury Tesla Dress
…bring May Flowers? I hope so. My May birthday was beautiful last year, but usually in Seattle April showers just bring more showers in May.
Above: Tesla dress, stumbled upon while digging through BonjourItsTina, & finding Sunday Brunch Dress, which is just too nice.

I’m studying Anastasia Young’s Workbench Guide to Jewelry Techniques, & have taken up my sketchbook & pencil, just in time for Spring. ♥
I’ve also rediscovered mo+mo Living:
“Surrounding ourselves with only that which we consider essential, valued and beautiful, brings luxury and simplicity into everyday living and supports an underlying sense of calm and ease.” – words to live by.
In the spirit of mo+mo living, this weekend I will:
- make a list of unfinished tasks
- schedule time to complete your list
- let go of projects that no longer interest you – this is a hard thing for me to work on.
- repair or replace anything that is broken
Weekend after next: avoid rebuilding the clutter you’ve just eliminated:
- be consistent and declutter when needed
- purchase high-quality enduring products – seriously. You end up paying more in all the cheap things you buy to either replace the other cheap stuff or to fill the void in your soul from consistently denying yourself the thing you actually want. Save up, eat ramen and peanut butter for a month, do anything but keep filling your life with the equivalent of happy meal toys.
- compare and consider before purchasing – especially if you buy the quality and often more expensive things.
- don’t keep gifts if they don’t appeal to you – this is an ethical dilemma, but if you consider an alternative: keep the spirit and goodwill in which the gifts were given, and donating or repurposing the thing itself makes little difference.
