my week in objects (mostly).

five little things that made my week:

1. this little bird hook.

{rescued from the top of the closet. just needs a fresh coat of paint and a few drywall anchors.}

2. this book.

{because an advance copy arrived to my house this week. ps. preorder this weekend if you want to make sure you receive a print in time for christmas!}

3. this lightbulb.

{because we rearranged a bunch of bulbs. a tiny exercise in homemaking which made for an overall brighter apartment come 4:00 pm.}

4. this bit of pine.

{because wintry window boxes deserve a little something festive too.}

5. these stories.

{because my mom brought a bagful of christmassy ones with her on the train for faye-girl.}

other things: 

whale fall.
the art of subway bacteria.
do the work.
the trouble with the word ‘freelancer’.
humanity.
socks make *great* gift. here’s proof.
a gif channel!
2016 is looking promising.
