self control

i went to Anthro today to get my mom a specific candle for her birthday this week, and it legitimately took every single thing i had not to buy numerous things. i took note of everything i wanted and even saw somethings i already had in my closet that just needed a lil jujjin up to be twins.

{candles for my old room mom's black + white sewing room}

{spitting image of my great-grandmother's old singer sewing machine, that my mom now uses...

also both stubborn irish-woman would say the exact same saying}

{shirt i am obsessed with, yet did not have in the store...on my chrismukkah list}

 

{skirt i could not stop handling over.. the detail and richness of fabric is unreal}

{one of the many titles of books i adore that are scattered throughout the store}

{hat that inspired me to add some panache to my own grey felt cloche: photo to come}
