2) A Fine Frenzy's album Pines. I've always loved Alison Sudol. I think she is adorable and her music has always seemed really organic and sweet to me. Pines came out in 2012 and at first I felt it was kind of whatever BUT in recent weeks I've fallen in love. It's calming and simply lovely. Please check it out! Riversong is my favorite. I have it on in the background as I finish my final projects for school, decorate our house and quilt.
3) Keeping with the Sudol trend, I've been watching this video on repeat. It's called Lost Things and it's beautiful. I don't have much else to say about it except WATCH!
4) When I'm feeling particularly worse for wear, I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. For some reason watching Sara Michelle Geller fighting demons always makes my problems and frustrations about my lack of gift ideas seem particularly small. Unfortunately I've become a Buffy fangirl. My husband... has not. I'm hoping the more I watch it the more it will grow on him. Although I don't think it will.
5) Now I've just started this book called the Diviners by Libba Bray. I've always loved Libba. Her Gemma Doyle Trilogy changed my life. I'm only about 1/4 of the way through this new book and so far I love it. It takes place in 1926. My only warning is you might want to brush up on your knowledge of 1920s slang before you jump in... Sometimes I find myself having to look up meanings for things BUT I'm getting the hang of it.
6) Last but not least... ALL of our pictures are finally hung! Our apartment is starting to look... well like it's actually lived in. It makes me so happy to look around and see everything put together. I'm an absolute nutcase when things aren't put away.
Hopefully some of things things will help you chase the December blues away. If they don't, no stress. Put on some Bing Crosby and Nat "King" Cole and call it a day. Tomorrow just might be warmer!
