on a day full of good things...

Ah, yes. Today was a good day.

To begin with, I didn't roll out of bed until after 10:30. Granted, I've recently become somewhat of a night owl, given my never ending crafting and my slight addiction to watching TV shows online into the wee hours of the morning. (I recommend risking nightmares by watching Law & Order: SVU. You may be pleasantly surprised by a dream involving Detective Stabler sitting next to you on the couch, giving you a completely platonic and quite pleasant back scratch.) In any case, sleeping in that late was completely delightful. Even though I was actually awake a bit earlier than that, I sunk down under the covers and pulled my hoodie up around my head just to enjoy that cozy feeling of being half awake, half asleep, having no reason to rush getting up.

Once I finally got out of bed, I was thrilled to discover that one of my leafy felt wallets was featured on the etsy front page - not once, but twice! How is that for some morning giddiness? Beginning my day with a little happy dance is always a good thing.

After I put myself together for the day, it was off to the post office to pick up my chartreuse vintage style tea table (that I previously raved about). I could hardly wipe the smile off my face when I went to pick it up. I'm sure the lady at the post office was all, "What, are you here to pick up your first born child or something? Calm down." But she couldn't keep me down. I WAS SOARING ON A CHARTREUSE-COLORED CLOUD OF BLISS. (Contrary to popular belief, there actually is such a thing.)

I tore open the box when I got home and immediately busted out my second happy dance of the day. It is perfect! I adore it! Here it is, in all its glory:

Seriously, guys. I'm in love. I think it adds just the right amount of color to the room! And it's a perfect contrast to my teal shelf. Now I just have to decide what to put on the table, because I'm realizing that a bowl full of fake mini-pumpkins may be a little out of season, now that it's December. Ah, well. I'll come up with something, I suppose.

I do want to say that the shop I purchased this table from, Uncommon, is ridiculously adorable. Everything is created by a husband and wife team who are all creative and in love and I pretty much want everything from their shop! According to their shop profile: "Ours is a marriage of love and, also, of love of good design..." Um, adorable much lately? I'm presently saving up for one of their mirrors. In chartreuse, obviously. Because its my new favorite everything. Amen.

As for a bit of a crafty update, here are some new items that I created pretty much in the middle of the night (why my creative juices feel the need to flow at 1AM is beyond me):

Hope everyone else's day was filled with many good things, as well!
