this side table beside my sofa.
i think i love this space because everything on it comes from all over the world and from different parts of my life, but is still woven together by my absolute favorite ocean-deep shades of blue.
(the color of calm!)
(the color of calm!)
lamp: from my mother's childhood
teacup: picked up and toted around painstakingly while traveling in india
spice tin + blue ink bottle: from a thrift shop in rural north carolina
swedish ivy: grown and sold by one of my students as a fundraiser for a school program
and of course, the side table itself -- thrown on the side of the road and saved by my mother's keen eye for hidden treasure.
