Long overdue reading log update! Haven't been reading a ton but we're chugging along. Really enjoyed le roman de silence
WOW Le roman de Silence sounds fascinating, I immediately stuck it on my to-read list!! * __ *
OMG I'm so happy you found out about Yde et Olive via my zine : ) Spreading the word!!!
Thank you for posting your small joys! This is a great idea <3 Frozen thin mints are such god tier cookies.... also pls get into perfumes!! Would love to know what kind of scents you like! It's a very fun rabbithole to go down!
I love your idea of focusing on small joys! I have surprise daffodils in my yard & just finished/sent out my backlog of film, too. Waiting for & finally receiving my scans/negatives is one of my fav joys. Also, perfumes! I love choosing an indie maker & getting a bunch of samples. Like cloudcover said, it’s a really fun rabbit hole to go down (I have lots of recs if you, very specifically, wanna smell like a bakery)
Nice journal entry. I'm also awaiting the arrival of spring. My area has a bit more of winter yet, but there have been glimpses lately. It's really been keeping me going. Also, love your collections. I also collect old postcards, though my collection is not nearly as cool as yours!
Couldn't agree with you more- it is small joys and radical optimism that will help us make it through. I hope that you get into perfumes! I did sometime back in 2023 and it's been so much fun. My one major advice for you would be to buy samples before buying full sized bottles.
Thats an awesome Camera Collection! great finds! I love shooting film it is so fun ( i hope to build my own darkroom one day)
