As we wind down the year, I thought it might finally be time to post some of my favorite things that I’ve been meaning to share, and somehow just haven’t gotten around to it yet. In the same way that I feel like I have so much to say sometimes, I also feel like I have so much to share, and then end up not sharing at all. Silliness, I know, but oh well, here goes. This is my first in a series of a "few of my favorite things"

I’ve had 3191 included in my links for most of the year and have been meaning to share it for the longest time. This is an idea started by Stephanie and Mav, artists and friends who live 3191 miles apart, (one in Oregon and one in Maine) who also like to get up early, who also take some of the most wonderful photographs I have ever seen. I love all of them, all of them, all of them!! They are simply beautiful. And by simple, I mean just that. Stephanie and Mav have a way of capturing simple bits of every day and making them beautiful. Visiting their blog is this little reminder to stop and notice what’s around you every morning.

It was incredibly hard to even choose which photos to share with you. The one above is from yesterday’s post. And the one below, from November 9, stood out to me. You know how I love negative space to begin with, so I think the colorful magnetic letters positioned towards the bottom of the image on the all white background really caught my attention, and then that combined with a photograph that makes q-tips and cotton balls stunning...how can you not love it?

....I so hope they turn this into a book...maybe? and if not....maybe they’ll continue next year. In the meantime, enjoy! There’s almost an entire year of mornings for you to see.
