SHARE ABOUT A COUPLE FAVORITE OBJECTS?

I’ve decided my thing is vases (collecting them and making them via my ceramic studio) so my weekly ritual of displaying fresh flowers via the chosen ones of the week is just the best
All of my photobooth strips of me and my friends make me smile on the daily, one of my favorites is one of my best friends Kendall and I from the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs which we took while she was pregnant with her baby boy Jack. Love seeing time pass through these lil strips of mems
Lastly, I <3 my song of India tree, she tall and strong and thriving.”
