comfort in chaos





Oh yes, that mess is real. And it is in my living room. TONS of vintage clothes and other junk from my parent's attic that has finally outstayed out its lease. Guess what's in the brown paper bag? Yeah, more clothes. In times like these, I find serenity in chamomile and mom's homemade pumpkin bread and apple butter and my most faithful of comfortable moccasins. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Ooo I'm actually jealous of you "mess"! I paired down so much to move over to Edinburgh that I wear the same thing every single week - bleh! I want to steal you bags of vintage clothes! Love the mocs and your mom's pumpkin bread looks awesome!
Hope you're doing well!

I'm sort of dreading the day when the stuff in my parent's house outstays it's welcome. There is sure a lot of it.
