a special grouchy person gave my artsygirl her first commission. i made a journal from the drawing. that will go to the special grouchy person (but the artsygirl will come with us).
i found this big letter a downtown and i love it.
memorabilia, ephemera, stuff. old plane tickets.
travel books. they always go.
a candleholder from one of my trips to portugal + some of my favorite rings: the colorburst from mirthmarket, button stack from my soul can dance, and the plastic one from a little shop on south congress in austin.
my haiku doodle book in progress. these little doves have become family to us this summer.
our epic failure of a summer reading program.
if i can find the tooth fairy's response to this question, i'll post it :)
crating up all my favorite books. jennifer lee's right brain business plan is a gem! definitely one that will stay in my library. highly recommend it.
this beautifully hand painted journal was a gift from manon of m comme muses when we met in montreal in march. lots of Ms in that sentence.
a super old marker drawing of a village -- maybe 10 years ago?
my favorite banner from earmark. it has been hanging above our front doorway for the last few months and it must have known that adventures were awaiting us. it will go with us to the new house. the little birdie girl in the picture will too :)

woo hoo. to infinity and beyond, banner in hand.
unearthing treasures is my favorite part of moving too. i also enjoy the great purge!
happy laboring!
I'm going to miss having you nearby to see your inspirational home in person.
I love these posts of yours so much.
The glimpses into your life (and heart) are so precious.
That banner is awesome and I must tell you, as I was looking at your books, I thought to leave a comment asking about that Jen Lee book and milliseconds later, I read your next sentence. Love that!
what a fun post! the failed summer reading notecard made me laugh. :)
Good luck with packing and sorting thru things. I have found that by the end I just start dumping everythin!
:) precious. thanks for sharing.
i do so love and hate moving exactly because of the same process. it is very emotional.
this grouchy girl has a big smile on her face.
i'm so glad you like the ring! and i *love* that you shared the summer reading program.
good luck as you sort through it all!
My daughter's summer program of making a small lap quilt with her girls never got off the ground either. It's better to plan too much and not do some of the things than to not plan and do nothing.
Love that crabby person drawing!
We had doves above our porch light a few moves ago. The nest kept falling off so my husband finally built them enough of a platform for the nest to stay safe.
A lot of people recommend the Right Brain Business Plan. Although I don't plan to go into business right now I guess it would be good for the future.
I just bought the book to read on my PC or kindle. Thanks for the quick review. A book that makes the grade for a move has to be a good one.
Great post! Thanks for sharing all these delightful pieces of your home and life. Good luck with your laboring efforts this weekend. (The epically failed summer reading program made me smile!)
I'll have to check out that book!
HAPPY DAYS.
Char.
no worries we were a massive fail at summer reading as well.. seeing that empty list gave my heart a hug!
I LOVE that grouchy person...I think she might be visiting me...my younger one has been a grouch lately!
I'm glad the birdie girl gets to go with you! Good Luck with your new adventure Aimee.
I had to laugh out loud at your comment regarding the summer reading program!! That's the way it goes here too :P
We just completed out move last month and we're still rearranging and fiddling around...Happy Labor Day, Aimee!
I bet lady gaga has her eye on the tooth fairy's teeth collection for her next gown. isn't going through your stuff fun?
i love all the stuff of aimee.
XOX
moving!!! wow, i need to get caught up... i love the sharing of these treasures you are unearthing in the process... would love to hear from you to catch up when/if you have time! :)
You and your way of looking at life are treasures! Lawrence's lost will definitely be the Northeast's gain!
yay! thanks for the shout out :)
such goodness. I need an adventure awaits banner at our doorway too.thanks for taking us on a tour through all your stuff! that drawing of the village makes me thing of Susie's work. Im'ma get me that book, stat, and speaking of book, I howled at your girl's reading program gone wrong.
boom! comment barrage on your ass, bitch.
Awwwww, I love reminiscing with lost treasures like these. Especially if they are happy memories. That Summer Reading Program CRACKED. ME. UP!
