the best thing about today

the best thing about today was that I got to run. 

like really and truly, as I haven't been able to do since november or december.

I started early, right as the sunrise was coming up, and went for twelve miles. not without some huffing and puffing, let me tell you. but it's been a long time and my ankle feels happy again. running trails and not on city sidewalks is probably the safest way to heal everything.

and then I ate almost a whole watermelon.

introducing the new extra tiny cards, in my favorite color scheme yet.

these little guys are very small but totally big enough to write an important note for someone, or to tuck a real letter inside.

I'm super excited. paper things are a complete obsession for me, but I also love small versions of regular things.

ta-da!

made with gouache and watercolor paper and plenty of chai-powered imagination.

 find them in the shop here.

happy monday!

 I hope your weekend was great & I will soon share some bits and pieces of ours with you. 

for now, some perfect cuteness. 

I literally cannot stop watching this video.

5/17

it's friday!

I hope you have happy plans for this (hopefully!) sunny weekend.

today I might go to the beach by myself and read. and paint.
and then maybe try out a new recipe I've been thinking about....nothing too serious....

have a great one! see you monday.
