netflix.

So, those little red envelopes now come to the house. With increasing frequency.

I'm normally not that much of a movie person so I didn't completely see the appeal...until this month. Now, I think I'm hooked. At least until the really nice weather hits.

From here on out, I'll be listing the movies I've watched that month along with the books. To start, here's January's:

*Priceless
*The Valet
*Slumdog Millionaire

In love with this belt. I've visited it a few times at Shine Collective. It's too pricey, though. Especially as I'd be obligated to buy some more comfy-chic dresses to wear it with.

Our new dining table. It's solid and sturdy and the strips of wood seem to shimmer in the light and I've been visiting it at the store as long as I can remember, and it's finally ours.

Unfortunately, it was acquired on the eve of Bluehouse's demise. I'm really going to miss our local little green eco-store.

new to me.
