on obsession


I talked about it briefly the other day

I get something in my head
then I want it
then I start seeing it in places I didn't expect
then I want it more

it doesn't have to be a "thing"
it could be a song
or getting my nose pierced
these red chairs might make the list

this chair has been on it for quite some time

I don't use the term lightly
obsession
there are things I like
passing fancies
the desire fades

but my obsessions are lifelong

and I usually find a way to get what I want

what's on your list?

yes please


the very very best part of May's House Beautiful
was not a house at all

these fences are super fantastic


and they don't look like they would be hard to construct
right honey?
I love that it is not modern or traditional
like my house
and me

I also really like the mix in the first photo
I never would have thought of having two kinds of fencing
but it makes so much sense

because while I adore my neighbors
I need to sunbathe in private

the table is pretty great too
and I agree with Lisa
I like things that are big

outside

how does that happen?

 I'd never heard of a fiddle leaf fig
but now I need one

it's mentioned on one blog and then another
and I hardly notice

then one day I find myself google imaging it

and then the obsession starts
and now I am sneaking off to plant stores and nurseries 
on my way to work
between errands
just one more stop

please you guys don't start blogging about meth
I am very suggestable
