"Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals but it is also a refuge from society. It's a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why it's good to go outside of the city and the suburbs."

-John Muir

too cute.

just leave it to the Spades....

This shelf is genius. I think it would greatly benefit my minimalist kitchen.

Unfortunately, it looks heavy. It would probably bring my entire wall down with it. I don't think my apartment is all that sturdy....

I wonder if it would be easy to make?

Check out the back on this little sundress from Steven Alan. I'd like to think that my sewing skills are this advanced, but I think I would need a pattern to pull it off....

This would be the best summer dress ever.

I never thought that I would like cutout sleeves, but Jenny has a way of making even the trendiest of trends beautiful and classic. What a lovely spring collection from Wikstenmade!

Check out those white oxfords, Rach....

Voluntary Simplicity involves both inner and outer condition. It means singleness of purpose, sincerity and honesty within, as well as avoidance of exterior clutter, of many possessions irrelevant to the chief purpose of life. It means an ordering and guiding of our energy and our desires, a partial restraint in some directions in order to secure greater abundance of life in other directions.
