take 5: #15 Estelle from Under A Pink Moon

1. Indulge - In rest: Naps, meditation, baths, quiet walks alone. Whatever, just checking out for a few minutes (or hours) is the ultimate indulgence for me.

2. See - The possibilities in every moment: We are rarely left with only one move in life, but it takes a really open mind to see all those options.

3. Know - What makes you happy. Do that. As often as possible. (I love to make stuff.)

4. Wear - A vintage prom dress: I still have not crossed this off my list, but when I do I expect to feel just like this image.

5. Love - Your home. Whether it’s a rented room or a sprawling palace, make it you own private sanctuary. Your favorite place to be.

One of the things that happens in the blog world is you encourage each other. There are many days that I feel tapped out and uninspired. Estelle is an example of a sweet blogette that reach out to me and we have encouraged each other to keep creating and do what we love. Thank you for a beautiful 'take 5' Estelle and I think you should cover your house in those stars {wink}.

Have a wonderful summer weekend. ox

  8. I have a lot of vintage things, but a prom dress isn't one of them. Guess I have something new to be on the lookout for. Thanks Estelle!

  9. I found your blog through Simple Lovely (I'm the lucky giveaway winner over of your Art Barn treasures over there), and just wanted to stop by and say how much I am really loving reading your stuff! This "take five" feature is especially delightful and inspiring.
