On the fly

Lately it seems like so many things are up in the air. I’m graduating tomorrow and packing to move to a new city soon, so it seems like so many of the pieces of my everyday life are in transition.

It’s what Diana and I like to call a “logistical interlude”—when you leave your everyday behind for once-in-a-while things like packing your whole life into a car for a very long one-way road trip.

It’s such an exciting time, but I’ll feel much more at ease when everything is in its place again—in its new place, I mean. I can’t wait to call a new place home, settle in, and stay awhile.

Anyways, in the spaces between packing and graduating, my mind’s been drifting to comforting things that make a new place feel cozy.

Like mobiles, for example. I always think they’re so pretty and sweet—not just for hanging over baby cribs, but for grown-up bedrooms too. 

What do you think? Would you hang one in your room? Here are a few of my favorites.
