Emma’s space

This is Emma’s space. She blocks it off with chairs and we have to be invited in. She has moved her basket of kitchen toys over there and now sets up dinners and tea parties at the table while I am cooking. It is a multi-purpose corner. Behind the cabinets are books and art supplies. The white table is now officially Emma’s to make messes on and create.

It is interesting sharing a one bedroom apartment with a family of three and we are lucky that it is quite a spacious apartment. We use our bedroom solely for sleeping and so our dining/living room is essentially her play room. Having her things around doesn’t bother me and I am happy that she has carved out areas for her play and her things to stay. Every once in a while I wish that we could move and have two bedrooms. Both for privacy and so that we could have whole rooms all to ourselves (I even made an Etsy board for my little daydream of decorating). In all truthfulness though we love our home here and will probably stay as long as we can because its worth it to us to be where we are right now.

cooling off with aromatherapy mist!

Cooling off with aromatherapy mist! We purchased a couple of these from Muji in the last year, one large and one small, and we love to use them. We have many different fragrances and they can be cool in the warm house or assist us when we are feeling congested. They fragrances from the essential oils lift our moods and comfort us since now they remind us of home. We went through the lavender oil from Muji rather quickly and restocked with a set Kis oils from Amazon.

In September we visited Book/Shop in Temescal. It’s a neat little place with a curated selection of books and I have about five minutes in there when visiting with Clover. I always want to stay and admire some neat vintage design cover or gaze at the art prints dotting the walls for just one more moment as I am such a visual person. Well last time I spotted something that I wanted right away, a botanical print by Lucy Auge. We brought it home and decided to hang it over Clovey’s bed. It is simple and sweet and matches her cozy little space in our bedroom. Browsing the internets later I found more of Lucy Auge’s work. She has an Etsy shop of prints and is having a show in November. I am glad that we were able to purchase a small print with the typography, so that Clover (and I) will remember the artist.
