Thanks for all of your support for our big move! Lesson learned: a move can be just as stressful with movers. I had visions of the move finishing by early afternoon and going for a fun celebratory lunch in the new neighborhood. Instead this is how it went down: the move took twice as long as we expected (lovely, as we're paying by the hour), one of the movers knocked a glass table at the top of the staircase of our old place — sending pieces of glass everywhere, Dan and I spent the next hour sweeping up the puddles of broken glass on the stairs, I got lost returning our Zipcar which charges you if you're not right on time, oh and our new apartment building doesn't have its city certification so we're crashing with friends for a few days (the big unpack will have to wait a few days.) But on the bright side, our stuff is all moved in (done!) and we're seeing this time as a treat to get to stay with friends we never get to see enough. Our friend Ali made cheeseburger sliders last night and she baked a chocolate raspberry cake that was so good (and is dangerously in the refrigerator right now!). Amazing how a great dinner at the end of a bad day can turn all the stress into a memory. We sure enjoyed a sweet ending to a tough move.
And as another treat, I was so excited to see the new Print + Press collaboration. This month, Abby paired with Tricia, who designed this fantastic strawberry creamsicle print. I love this month's pretty pair! And it's hard to dwell in the yuck of moving with visions of summer like fresh lilacs and melty popsicles. I'll be sharing Tricia's organizing ways for Lost + Found up next.
