Big Moves

Wow, 2012 has started off with a bang! Vitaliy and I just experienced two huge moves and it’s not even the end of January. The first was transferring Prokopets Studio over to Pictilio. The second was downsizing from a two bedroom to what could practically be considered a studio. Both moves were made in order to continue following our dreams.

It was a lot of hard work and we’re pretty exhausted, but extremely thankful. We’re settled into our new place and couldn’t be happier. We still have a ton of boxes to unload and things to organize, but it feels good.

Dreams take hard work and sacrifice. Relationships are no different. If you want to follow your dreams, just like if you want your love to last, expect to exhaust yourself fighting for both. But rest assured, they’re worth the fight. Don’t give up.

I’m off to Alt Design Summit in Salt Lake City, Utah. I’ve decided to give my husband a much needed and deserved break while I’m gone. So you won’t hear from us until next week. Talk soon!

While we’re away, check out A Subtle Revelry’s new issue of Styled. We made the cover! We’ll share more on that next week. If you’re planning a celebration of any kind this issue will leave you inspired.

 

 

Syrup Saturdays

One of my favorite things to do is go out to breakfast. The quietness of the morning paired with the sweet pleasures of anything dipped in syrup, leave me in a state of pure happiness.

McDonald’s isn’t our go to spot for such happenings, but on this particular day it was for which I am thankful. It’s moments like this that inspire me. They leave me to dream of growing old with the one I love. Still making time to sit across from one another on a Saturday morning to enjoy syrup, and each other.

Our Life. In Focus.

All great changes are preceded by chaos. I read this on Facebook yesterday. It’s definitely true of our lives right now. A trying and yet very exciting time.

Our Life. In Focus. is the start of a new series that will give us the opportunity to intentionally focus on the little things in life. Those things that bring you a smile throughout your day, but that are easily forgotten in the midst of the so-called chaos of life.

Here are a few things that have brought a little sunshine to our lives this week.

→ Homemade popcorn and cookies, essential move night treats.

→ A little bubbly, fun project to be revealed next week.

→ Books, my current favorite home décor waiting to be boxed for the move

→ Love notes, cute stationary that will surely catch the eye of my love.

→ Moustache pillow, my Christmas present to V that always makes us laugh
