H is for Happy Holidays

Top to Bottom: baked my favorite Vanilla Spritz cookies, a new ornament, lucky stars (reminds me of being a kid, we used to make these all the time!), lights 

Happy Holidays!  I seriously can't believe its already Christmas Eve...where did this year go?!?  I've made a lot of difficult, challenging, and exciting decisions this year and can't wait for the new year to start.  I started reflecting on a few things recently and most of all I am thankful for friends (old and new), family, and living again in the Pacific Northwest.

Although I didn't really get too decked out for the holidays this year (no tree...) I did manage to do a few things.  Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday season!!!

Hello!

My name is Emily and this blog is about all things I'm enamored with including fashion, photography, food, places, etc.  I admit...I like a lot of things so I'm excited to start this blog and share them with other people.

A little bit about me:
-I'm originally from Seattle but have been recently living in Phoenix, AZ for the last several years.  I just moved back to the NW and currently live in Portland, OR
-I'm left handed
-I don't eat meat (I just don't like the taste and texture of it)
-Dessert is my favorite meal
-Rainy days are a favorite of mine
