new office nook + fly fishing!

I created a little satellite office for myself up in a small nook in our attic master bedroom. I still mainly work in my closet office, but I like to chase the sun when I'm working, moving here and there from one little space to the next. This desk came from my childhood. I remember it well and now it's in my home - love the history.

Hello Courage - a good reminder to me to stay connected + open when I work. Still loving the diy lampshade my mom fashioned. The hello courage wall piece is part of my home decor collection with creative co-op! This is turning out to be a great space to sit by the window and write or catch up on some reading.

There is something about having our own cozy spaces, however small, that feel like forts - like the forts we used to build ourselves when we were kids. We all need those nooks that are ours for play, rest, and imagination. The magnetic shelf wall piece is also from my home decor line. I can't tell you what a treat it is to actually use pieces from my line in my house! Seems unreal and I wonder if it'll ever sink in.

In other news, if you're a newsletter subscriber, you may have noticed our twice weekly short + sweet notes in your inbox. We're trying something new this holiday season to keep you guys in the loop on all the new products we've been getting for the shop (hard to keep up, so much goodness!). Inspired by the twice weekly newsletters I get from Garnet Hill (new fave shopping experience --> great sales and their pima cotton dresses are amazingly soft and wash very well), we're trying it out ourselves. So be sure to sign up if you want to stay in the loop - there may just be a secret sale coming up just for you!

PS: Did I tell you John took True and I fly fishing? I caught a tiny little fish and then let him go.
