my week in objects (mostly).

mussel shells, fallen apples, brass candlesticks and other things.

1. mussel shells.

{for always being perfect.}

2. this brass candlestick.

{and the unofficial start of reading-by-candlelight season.}

3. the fallen apples in this driveway.

{marking back-to-school for me since 1992.}

4. this blanket.

{and finally bothering to put in on the bed on the first chilly night of summer.}

5. this flowering mint.

{plus approximately one million pollinators.}

other things:

the sterile world of infinite choice.

my hobby.

they built their optimism around us.

the practice of taking pleasure in aesthetics.

one-in-every-color capitalism.

you’re not for everyone.

been sleeping on my mom’s flower pillowcases lately. newly tempted by these.
