craving: Overdyed Kilim Rug

Now that we officially have our place (can everyone hear that sigh of relief? Because we are STOKED and feel like huge weight has been lifted) I'm already jumping into decor and planning things out in my head. And while buying a completely different rug yesterday (after weeks of looking for "the one" that both J and I loved), I stumbled across this little jewel and fell in love. Bold, quirky, and traditional at the same time.

If only it was larger, I may have talked myself into it. Good thing it wasn't though because there is no way I can justify purchasing another rug when we have a lot of other things to collect!

Craving: Boot Pull

this boot pull via smiss miss

So I don't really have a need for this just yet, but one day when we're living where it snows a lot and I'm cursing at myself for having such tight boots on ahem, I mean, wrestling with pulling off my super cute (even if not the most functional) snow boots- I will have a need. And when that time comes, how nice will it be to have something as handy as this?

Of course, I can also see myself placing my boot in it, performing a wildly too dramatic tug (because of aforementioned lack of functional boots that I just had to wear) and then losing my balance and tumbling down to the floor only to be rushed to the hospital because I managed to break my leg or something important like that.

But because I will do this is the comfort of my own home, when y'all see me limping around on (even less snow capable) crutches I will tell you I broke my leg after running away from a bear/mountain lion/rabid raccoon. And you'll have to believe me because I'll live in the mountains.

Maybe I'll even use wild hand gestures and make bear noises (because Lord knows I'm a hand talker and I love a good sound affect.) Hey, while I'm at it maybe I'll toss in something about saving a baby or a puppy or something with as well. You know, for good measure.

Anything besides saying I tripped on the boot pull I just had to have.

Come to think about it, maybe I should just stick to something smaller like this instead.
