Baby sheep, finals, and coffee addictions

My first  year at William and Mary is almost over!

This means more time for blogging as summer approaches

but it also means the arrival of finals and the need for a coffee IV

Much like the frenzied atmosphere of the college library the world outside has also entered Spring in full swing.

The temperature has finally become warm (dare I say even hot at time?!)

and our friends in Colonial Williamsburg have a couple new family members <3

Spaceman and I decided to pay them a visit in a celebratory in of classes moment

By the time I return from break this little guy will be much bigger, 

but I'm sure just as sweet

(we formed a real bond :) )

and I will have survived a three month long caffeine detox 

so I can start my addiction fresh in the Fall.

Cheers,

Cristyn

Love Actually...

...A few things I actually do LOVE:

1- Colonial Williamsburg; it is one of my favorite places ever. I am not a world traveler (yet!), but I know that out of all the cities in the world CW will always hold a special place in my heart.

It is beautiful and quaint, and it is never hard to imagine myself sitting outside reading, writing, or crocheting with all the lovely colonials!

2- Grey; something about the color grey just encourages me to snuggle up and take a nap.

Some of my favorite sweaters are this color and if I am ever in doubt (whether picking out cloths or choosing yarn) light cozy grey is always my go to.

3- That being said, I adore bright pastel-ly colors in a room. They liven up a mood, create space, and make me feel happy.

4-Thrifting; I frequent Goodwill more than is truly healthy and the antique shop in my home town is to die for.

I adore vintage, pretty much vintage everything. 

Why buy it new when you can buy it old?

5- Coffee; as a college student it is a need, but for me that rich aroma and bracing taste is just as calming and relaxing as it is energizing

6- Haiti; if you have never been I will not push you to go. Visiting a third world country isn't for everyone, however if you ever do go I can guarantee you it will be a life changing experience.

As an anthropologist in the making the cultural codes were fascinating and in contrast with my own, 

but as a human being the people were bright and friendly and full of life despite the hardships you could see all around them.

7- Crocheting
