Reproduction mercury glass candlestick, $24 at The Sheep's Nest
So it’s today, and in the chokecherry this year:
the first leaves turn to ochre, there, by the open gate.
I grab the sweater you left on a chair, wrap it
around my shoulders, and – as I did for days last year
until I couldn’t keep up with the season – I pick
every single rusting leaf, each fading flower
and hide them in my apron pocket: their crush
clandestine against my belly. It’s a simple gift
for you – for us – such an easy thing to do
for a few more days of summer.

Stine’s in charge of social media at Living, a Norwegian furniture retailer. Check out her Living Blog and Facebook page. It’s her first job as a young interior design/journalism graduate and she shares “the latest news, trends, and inspirational pictures” and does it well.

I visit her blog Vintage Chic regularly…not only is her home’s renovation fascinating to watch, but she divulges all the European magazine photos that drive me crazy and inspire me to no end.
May Stine do so for you as well.
Until next time, stay shabby!
