Things I love this week:

• Tea party planning & execution
• Taking care of all of my new tattoos
• All the trees in my yard are blooming and they smell so delicious!
• Still being in vacation mode because my Paris trip turned into SXSW extravaganza when I returned home
• Violet pastille cocktails at the East Side Show Room
• Hanging out with Anja from Clever Nettle and showing her all of my Austin favorite spots and eating Frito Pies!
• Dancing at the Sock By Sockwest Sockhop despite many many blisters
• Veiled netting on vintage hats
• Teaching my Brazilian roomate to say “I’m going to bitch slap you outta here!”
• The Punks are officially here: we have a freezer full of dumpstered food and the Coal County kids dropped off a puppy. New puppy! I think her name is Sadie, although it keeps changing every time I see her
