this week's wants

This week's number one want? Time! It seems to be evaporating. But, since I haven't been able to find it for sale, I present you with some gorgeous, timeless alternatives!

I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what sort of stone or glass is featured in this small pebble ring by les things. It's polymer clay with copper leaf! And it is gorgeous, don't you think? It could be brand new or a hundred years old. I love the pale blue and the amber together with shiny silver. That's what I call timeless!

This photograph of a peony by Lena Brown is staggering. I absolutely love everything about peonies, especially their delicate petals and scent, though neither lasts for long. Indeed, she has managed to capture time in this print! (Wish I could smell it!)

Time in a bottle! These porcelain milk bottles remind me of those deliveries by the milkman when I was a kid. Why don't we still have that, I wonder? What a fabulous invention to have gone by the wayside. These bottles would make fabulous vases for wildflowers, but I think I might prefer to drink a swig of cold milk from them. Find them (and much more) at alyssaettinger's shop!

Certainly, I would have more time if I flew everywhere, by umbrella or otherwise! I love this "flying umbrellas" print by roadside projects. I've wanted to fly by umbrella for years, ever since I witnessed Mary Poppins alight on the Banks family. I still haven't found a gust of wind sufficient enough to hoist my person (though I have had several umbrellas turn inside out). Nevertheless, roadside's print still inspires!

Thanks for reading! May you have all the time you need today,
