I really like the month of September, because of the season change and hopeful, back-to-school-and-the-holidays-are-coming feeling, but probably mostly because of my birthday (I hope you enjoyed that sentence). My birthday is September 26 (hint, hint). I’ll be 24 this year: my last year of frolicsome youth before I become a quarter-of-a-century old and start graying (hopefully my hair will hold off a bit longer than that). This is also birthday month for my family (and also everyone else in my homeland, since most U.S. babies are born in mid-September).
Things I intend to enjoy this month:
- Hot espresso drinks
- A Birthday outfit
- Understated jewelry
- A Birthday cupcake or two
- Taking pictures of events and changing landscapes
- Boots
- Mums in full bloom
- Snuggling in my hand knit blanket (thanks, Daniel’s mom!)
- Printed bags
Daniel and I are heading over to a Local Artisans Festival in the next couple of hours. Masters of guitar making, banjo playing, and cobbling (to name a few) will be present along with their newly graduated apprentices. I love living in a place that publicly values local craft and culture.
