housewarming tender_square erin suggested a trip to homesense to look for a gift i would give to myself. i had tossed around the idea of a wreath for the front door or a statement chair on the porch. earlier that day i had looked for those items in the thrift store. found a large blue wreath wrapped in yarn with small yellow flowers, another glued with indigo pine cones and sangria straw, a lemon painted wooden chair with curved backrest. none of the pieces were fitting. in the seasonal aisle of the decor store i considered fake leaves and their sizes, how their shades would blend with the brick of the house, the jam-tinted mums i'd just bought. i settled on a neutral spray of natural straw and baby green sprigs of wildflowers, indulging in a brand-new piece to mark the occassion. 230904 what's it to you? who go blather from
