Sprightly in the Sun

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

Old books! I just love how they look and smell.

    Ladies, I was one happy gal yesterday! The temperature was above zero, the sun was shining ferociously, and the snow is rapidly melting. Seriously, I was not fibbing when I said you will notice an elevation in my mood; the winter blues is like a disease, curable solely by the sun! And I know winter is truly done with when I have my first walk around downtown. 

   I spent yesterday afternoon with my friend Alex. We stopped off at a dusty, independently owned bookstore. It was overcrowded with books; on the windowsill, on tables, and the floor (which is how a bookstore should be). The store even had a cat! A chubby white one that sat on a chair by the window. It all felt oh so bohemian! I then dragged him to a vintage shop literally a block away from my apartment (how convenient, eh?) and reveled in all the beautiful little things I wanted to purchase. 

   The weather continues to warm up, although I shall be stuck in boots for a little while longer because of how wet it is. But look! I am wearing a spring jacket :D This is the time of year I veer away from chunky wool scarves and opt for lighter, softer hued scarves and pashminas. This blue one is definitely one of my favourites, it's so bright and happy! 

Until we meet again!
