this little light...

posted on: 2.21.2013

and a whole lot of West Elm.  

This one's for you.  'Just totally and utterly yours. 
You know, just because...  


Because, Michelle who writes at This Little Light, here, is just the very sweetest of dear souls.  And because, when she said giveaway I knew we should share something beautiful to illuminate these last dreary days of winter.  



Because, my beautiful sister and I found ourselves, one wintry eve, wondering about the spaces of a West Elm store in the heart of Salt Lake City.  And somewhere, in that sweet design clutter, I learned a little something more of her and her light.  

And also, of her love for those rustic French rolling pins.  Oh those French and their pins.  Is there any more sensual way to set about rolling out a great mass of dough than with a French rolling pin? It's just all so... French?


Because, I'd thought I'd died and gone to heaven there, under those designer lights.

Because, everyone should feel, sometime on their walk across this earth, as if they'd just died and gone to heaven.  You know?  Just because.
   

Something about the winter winds blowing outside and the warmth and stillness within that space.  Because, when you're surrounded by thoughtfully selected pieces and good company isn't it really just such a dream of a moment to be in?  

Even if every dear piece has a price tag stubbornly affixed to it's bottom or dangling it's little tongue out at you, mockingly.  And even still, despite those quizzical glances from behind the cash register that insist this is just a store in an upscale shopping mall.    


I could have stayed, right there, in that divine little gem of a store for far longer than any reasonable person should, really.  
For.  Like.  Ever. 

You should have a little moment of your own.  I'm convinced.  

So, Michelle and I are giving away a forty dollar gift card to West Elm.  To add a little light to these last bits of winter.  You know, just because. 

You can get to know Michelle better here.  Do all sorts of West Elm dreaming here.  And, enter to win below.

Be well.
live sweet,

  1. Wow, I could spend absurd amounts of time in that store too. That would brighten a long winter day!
    Imagine decorating an entire home in that stuff, I'd just walk around with a dumb smile on my face all day lol.

    Following all, do I have to leave 3 different comments?

  5. I try to brighten my long days of winter by still trying to get outside and get some fresh air - snowshoeing makes me appreciate the snow. At least for a little while.

  7. The beautiful Texas sun lights my long days of winter, oh, and my 11 grandchildren! Really, we don't have much of a winter. It gives me more time to spend out in our back pasture, with my donkeys, and our cows, and my grandchildren!
