The Introvert Hour {In The Studio}

so here i sit in my studio. soaking up some alone-time and writing in all lower-case letters. creating cards for beloved friends and reading books. listening to judy garland and ella fitzgerald. enjoying the organization of my studio, that never has been, and probably never will be again. dreaming of beautiful dresses that make you feel elegant and picture-perfect. dreaming of christmas and winter and christ's birth.  dreaming of the thing i should have forgotten, but continuing to dream of deeper, all the more. pondering my life's experiences and being thankful for the trials i have encountered, which have given me far more strength and knowledge than i could have had if i had avoided the pain and went down the easy road of life. being thankful for little sisters. being thankful for closeness with the lord. being thankful for the strength and patience he has given me in the past month. being thankful that he is sovereign and his plan is so perfect-- and that i can see that so clearly. and being thankful for you. :)

now here are some of the photos i promised:

i am also thankful for sunsets and silhouetted trees.

this is a lovely pearl necklace that my grandma gave me. i treasure it.
while we were at my grandma's, she showed us her old jewelry. she had rings with diamonds and real gold,  but out of them all, this ring (below) was my positive  f a v o r i t e . it has a fake jewel, and it's sterling silver, but it was just charming.

now i'm drinking tea and nibbling ginger snaps, compliments of my sister, babycakes. mockingjay is next on the agenda, so i'd better hop to it. this was my introvert hour-- thanks for tuning in. :)

much love and a hug,

lindsey nicole
