evening glow

awe…
i just love the glow inside your home when the sun sets.
when lamps here and there light your path around each corner.
when your little treasures seem to come alive.
when you feel the closing of the day… and the hope of tomorrow.
there is a coziness that comes with the night.
an inner peace.
and there is something about a sunday evening.
a different feeling.
things are coming to a close.
but things are also just beginning.
the week is new.
and so are the possibilities.
one thing i know for sure…
today is monday AND…
monday means back to school…
which means mama gets two hours of free time…
AWE!
monday…
i know you like to be packed with a lot of punch… can be a bit crazy… but…
i am ready for you!
oh and…
there were quite a few of you that emailed me asking about the petticoat skirts…
you can find them here at the Junk Gypsy Company.
i will add… seriously… they are DIVINE!
SUPER full… VERY well made… way FUN… WAY better than i expected.
the girlies LOVE them…
AND…
the best part…
they come in adult sizes…
OH YES they DO!
here’s to crazy monday!
getting back to it… pretty sure we can do it…
with good ‘ol COFFEE ! :)

Ahhh. coffee makes every Monday good! Your Mondays sound like my Mondays. How much can I get in while the youngest is in school for a few hours? Why do I pack so much into such little time? It would be good for me to chill and refresh and refocus for the week... maybe next Monday! :)
I agree. I love that time of night that is just cozy. Your pictures captured it beautifully. Love those bright swirly skirts too. So fun:)
H A P P Y : ) M O N D A Y to YOU Carissa! Once again a LOVELY post by U! Truly setting an inspiring tone for this week.
BTW I've been enjoying looking at your older postings... thinking how much an advertising agency would be so LUCKY
to have YOU in their employ. Your daughters are adorable and they have a SUPER*MOM for REAL!!!
Hope you have a WONDERFUL Monday and that your free TIME is relaxing & rejuvenating! Thank YOU so much for taking the time to share your thoughts in such a BEAUTIFUL way~ Sincerely, Kimi
I just love coming to your blog Carissa. Makes any day better!
Carissa, this is so sweet!
I have a love/hate relationship with Sunday evenings. I like the feeling of a fresh new week about to begin. But that also means back to "work" (creating jewelry orders). And struggling with time management to fit my schedule around a 2 yr. old.
It's a challenge each week, but I wouldn't change it for anything.
I know what you mean... beautiful images... hello Monday!!!
xo,
LuLu
just reading that post gave me such a sense of peace... ah.... thank-you, carissa! :)
sweet pea carissa...you are the absolute best. look how sweet and darling

I can always count on you to put a big O smile on my face and guess what YOU did ... love the pictures of the girlies :) and I love the platestand from the red shoes! I know her stuff... love it ! happy Monday...

LOVE the petticoats! Lovely photos all-around, as usual :)
I think you've been reading my mind as I was just think about the coziness of evenings! I've been lighting candles (Williams Sonoma Spiced Chestnut is intoxicating!) Thank you for your blog...it's been an emotionally looooong day but you always manage to put a spring in my step. Off to cook dinner!
MMM.... Happy Monday! I am drinking a cup of tea and loving every sip looking at your blog!
Carissa, what lovely pictures. I love Jenn's painted pin...and yes, I am so about that evening glow as of late. The nights are longer and so our home becomes cozier much earlier. Love it!!! And now I'm off to check out those adorable skirts!
xo
Those skirts are A-MA-ZING. And you get to take pictures of two, how fun! Good Monday to you! Your thoughts always brighten my day.
I see you got a great treasure from Noodle and Lou...yay for you!
oh how i love your blog. mondays are one of my favorite days.
xo
Love the noodle and lou treasure!! I have one comming to:) Love all the pictures and photo's of your cozy home. Have a wonderful day!!
I don't know why buying lamps is so intimidating to me, but your post made me want to throw caution to the wind and go to Homegoods!!
Ahhh I can't believe you have Junk Gypsy on here. I have a necklace from them and they set up a booth at one of our Music Festivals that we produced. How Crazy!!!!
