bohemian coziness

life just seems to be full of coziness and potential at the moment. our house has slowly over the past 3 months become a home. things have found their 'just right' places, the walls have been slowly speckeled with colour, photos, artwork, things that make us smile.
i can see that as the cool weather sets in the quilts and blankets will slowly make their way out of the wardrobe and soften each spot into further coziness. oh and dressing gowns, soft and warm. i miss my dressing gown over summer. i am a dressing gown person, around the house, out of the shower, out in the garden (even though it gets dirty and that means being without it until its washed and dry) when its cold enough i even wear it to bed. yes i get tangled but for that kind of coziness ansd warmth its worth it!

as we come into autum the world is full of promises that tomorrow will be even more wonderful than today. as the weather cools i know that i can start planting again! oh the excitement. the middle of a hot summer wasnt the best time to try to establish a veggie patch, their is still much room for improvment, and improve it wil-soon! i see with each new day more flowers opening and less closing and dying in order to help the plant survive heat. i can tell the plants are happy that its autum

we are cozy, benny and me. my days are full of comfort and bliss just to have him around (or know that hel be back soon) after being here with him just 3 months it feels like home just to be near him.

  1. hey karen!
    i'm making relish - two massive pots of it which should translate into millions of jars of it :) all ready for winter when we will have cheese and relish toasted sandwiches. mmmmmm
    i love the thought of coziness too. i don't have a dressing gown, but you've made it sound so fabulous that i might just have to get one - or, make one :)

  3. Even though you're headed towards winter and I'm headed towards spring, we're both looking forward to our vegetable gardens! How funny.
