  30. I LOVE fall! It's a great time to quiet our inner critic, let out our inner child, and play in huge piles of leaves! :) It's also a really lovely time to stop and think about the past year, maybe even life in general, and see where you are at with your goals. Am I the kind of person I want to be? Am I doing the things I love? Am I maintaining meaningful relationships? Refocus the unmet goals, and celebrate the victories!

  37. congrats on hitting 1000 followers, your blog is gorgeous so it's easy to see why. at the moment i can't get florence and the machine out of my head, a song from the album called howl
    ...if you could only see the beast you've made of me, i held it in but now it seems you've set it running free, screaming in the dark, i howl when we're apart, drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart...

  38. my current favorite song is "Lauren Marie" by Girls -- and I'm loving this snippet from it: "I could make myself go crazy crying over times I've chased my broken dreams
    but what is life without a dream and even i know dreams can still come true"

    ReplyDelete
  39. I adore your blog so much! It's so cute and inspirational. Congratulations on your success!

    I'm kind of sad that winter is soon approaching, because I love fall so much, and fall was fleeting this year. Too much rain. I love the sunrise gradient of the leaves, and the smell!!! But winter is okay. Hats!

  42. Hello!
    I recently started following your blog after meeting you and shopping at your booth at UCSan Diego's vedor fair. I absolutely fell in love with your creations! I love to read your blogs and you've inspired me to write in mine more often. I am also gathering up courage in attempting to make my own accessories.
    Thank you c:

    encouraging thought: "How great is the love of the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! Thre reason the world does not knw us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."
    1 John 3:1-2

    Current Favorite song:
    Empire State of Mind -JayZ ft. Alicia Keys
    (all-time favorite song:
    Sunday Morning-Maroon 5)

    fav thing about winter:
    -Starbucks' red holiday cups!
    -rosy cheeks wrapped in warm hats and scarves
    -gaining lbs from holiday food

  43. My favorite thing is hot toddies. Until a week or so ago I always thought hot toddies were a specific spiced rum sort of drink, but wikipedia recently told me that it's any hot mixed drink, so my hot chocolate + baily drinks count :)

  44. Firstly, I should say "Thank YOU!" for sharing your work, words and inspiration with the rest of the blogging community. You're amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm so happy for you! Your blog deserves every one of its readers.

    My favorite thing about this season is time with people. I miss the things from America like smells and chilly hat-wearing weather, but we can pretend its wintry here too, and have cider gatherings with friends.

  51. The holiday season is so magical--lights, old friends, MAIL!, pretty candy, packages, bows, creativity, gifts...
    but of course the real meaning of the season is remembering the things most important in our lives, making meaning out of all the pretty things that come along with it.

  53. AFTERNOON! I am going to tackle a few of your questions!

    right now I am being consumed by the song Furr (Blitzen Trapper) sigh.... it's perfect for the weather that is gracing Stillwater oklahoma's streets.

    As winter is approaching, and fall is sadly leaving, I am starting to adore my knitted slippers. From the second I walk inside they're on my feet! When I was little, my parents said I scooted around in my footie pj's and that you could hear me coming from a mile away!

    and.... I have a few really big things that have just happened i my life! 1. i got engaged to the coolest guy ever and 2. i got a job in paris! so I am in a very happy place and feel like i could conquer the world!

    Goodbye!!!

    Something I'm looking forward to as we enter the holiday season, is the hot hot weather - I'm one of your Australian readers, and while I read about everybody starting to get cozy in their scarfs over there, our weather is just starting to show signs of Summer and I cannot wait! The holiday season for me is all about Summer bbq's, fresh seafood and fruit, and lazy evenings drinking into the long twilight hours :) Cannot wait!

  107. Congratulations on your 1,000 posts.
    Wow!
    Winter is a cozy season. Cold outside, warm and toasty inside. A season of smells--baking...simmering stews. Apples and cinnamon...pine.
    Hot chocolate with marshmallows.

  109. Something I love is happening right now: I don't work on Fridays, so I love going to bed on Thursday nights. I get to sleep in! I am especially happy tonight knowing my husband works late tomorrow and we can sleep in together (that never happens). Thanks for such a lovely blog & giveaway. :)

  113. So this is one of my favorite quotes "Be the change you want to see in the world."-Mahatma Gandhi- My favorite current song is "Are We Different?" by Priscilla Ahn. What I love about the winter coming are the decoration and lights, spending time with family and friends, the music, and just cuddling with a hot cup of cocoa by the fire. FYI I love your stuff (UCSD VENDOR FAIR) and blog, it's super cute! >_<

  114. congratulations on your monumental achievement! right now, my go to song is Christmas don't be Late, by the Chipmunks. I decided that if Starbucks can put out their holiday cups and drinks on November 1, then I can start listening to Christmas music. and Christmas don't be Late is my absolute favorite mainstream Christmas song. it just makes me smile :o)

  124. "you came with the season as the first swallow sang
    a brown headed stranger with a five letter name
    we planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
    my feet sprouted wings and i flew all the way home

    the fields where we wandered were golden
    now only muddy my boots
    now i know i should recover, you're a bird of the summer
    i was wrong to try and capture you"

  126. your blog makes me smile everytime again and gives me subursts of inspiration!
    i think one of my favourite songs is 'don't fight it' by 'the panics'. it's all about just letting go and letting things happen without making too much of a fuss :)

    ReplyDelete
  127. Congratulations!! You & your blog deserve the attention. :)

    My favorite thing about Winter is the smell of all the candles and wallflower plugs from Bath & Body Works and the snow but unfortunately it doesn't snow here in Phoenix.

  129. Hello friend:)
    Sweet November days are coloured raindrops, feeling the taste of tea curled up in my bed with a book, finishing assigments in the hope that i'm young and i have to live every moment, waiting for Christmas and ski camp, yet enjoining every single second of everyday of my life.
    I am young.
    I am 16.
    And i love my life.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Congratulations! :) That's a huge milestone! I've been following you for a couple months now and just absolutely love your posts. I invariably feel inspired by them - especially the photos you choose to post!

    I am currently addicted to the soundtrack of Glee. Their covers are just amazing :)

    ReplyDelete
  131. I love everything about winter, but I really love leaf-less tress. I live in the tropics, so the palms are green year 'round, but when I get the chance to go north, the trees are definitely one of my favorite parts.
    To me, two large, leaf-less trees next to each other look like a pair of lungs, or in the shape of an anatomical heart.

    And I find it so romantic.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I love your blog! Congrats! It's a really nice giveaway, and a beautiful idea for Christmas too :)

    ReplyDelete
  133. Your blog is the epitome of how I want my blog to be :)

    Inspiring thought [from me]: My favorite has always been "This, too, shall pass." I think of this for every good and bad thing that happens to me. So that I won't be boastful nor sink too low in depression :)

  134. Thank you for coming to UCSD! Although they're not always necessary in San Diego, I love winter coats and have the greatest appreciation of buttons.

  136. Your blog is amazing! I spent a lot of time the other day just looking through all your flickr photos and there is sooo much inspiration to take in! I love it.

    Right now, these lyrics from Brit Nicole's song "Have Your Way" are really speaking to me:

    "Feels like I've been here forever
    Why can't You just intervene
    Do you see the tears keep falling
    And I'm falling apart at the seams
    But You never said the road would be easy
    And you never promised that this life wasn't hard
    But You promised You'd take care of me

    So I'll stop searching for the answers
    I'll stop praying for an escape
    And I'll trust You God with where I am
    And believe that You will have Your way
    Just have Your Way"

  140. the best part of the holidays for me is all of my family coming together. this year however, i'll be missing my most significant one, my husband, who's serving overseas. so next year will be the biggest holiday celebration yet!!!!!!

  141. What i'm looking forward to this holiday season is spending it with my baby girl, Claire...it's her first Christmas! It's going to be amazing seeing her enjoying this lovely time of year.

  150. Congratulation, Danni!

    I wish I had some lovely quote to share with you... but I can't think of anything right now... this month I'm participating in NaNoWriMo, and trying to write a 50,000 novel in 30 days!

  151. Danni,

    Congratulations!

    I am really enjoying this season. It's so relaxing. I'm presently thinking a lot about how to simplify my life, including with regard to how we celebrate the upcoming holidays.

    In other news... While you are celebrating 1,000 followers (and then some!), I am about to post about reaching just over 100 :O)

    Blessings,

  152. Psalm 71:19-21 is beautiful to me right now...

    "Your righteousness, O God,
    reaches the high heavens.
    You who have done great things,
    O God, who is like you?
    You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
    will revive me again;
    from the depths of the earth
    you will bring me up again.
    You will increase my greatness
    and comfort me again."

  166. Big congrats to you! Something that was shared with me yesterday as a reminder was Joshua 1:9 ("Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.") As somethings are going on in my life and those I love, I am reminded that things are so much bigger than I am - and I need the reminder to not take it on all on my own!

  181. Danni, Thank you for being such an inspiration! I look forward to reading your blog every day and am so thankful I stumbled upon it. I would like to share with you a Bible verse that has been encouraging to me in hopes that it may encourage others as well. Psalms 33:20-22 "We wait in hope for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you."

  182. have you heard of jaymay? "One Day Loneliness Will Creep"- gorgeous. is it cheating to also mention that winter is my favourite season and that my favourite bits include snowball fights, winter woolies, hot chocolate and open fires?
