Today’s tidbit: “The beauty and mystery of this world only emerges through affection, attention, interest and compassion… open your eyes wide and actually see this world by attending to its colors, details and irony.” ― Orhan Pamuk

Here is part 3 of my impromptu afternoon photo shoot, which focuses on color: bold & bright {green + light blue + teal + yellow + pink}. There is no shortage of detail, color and charm. Although I know I will be back, it was a nice way to close the chapter on living and working in Old Town, Alexandria.

So where to? Although it isn’t a very far move, for now I will be heading to Maryland. As I’ve mentioned, this summer my childhood home was sold and I moved out of the house I was renting. While it has been quite the roller coaster things seem to be starting to work out. Yesterday my dad had the final walk through and closing on our new house. We will be moving this weekend (happy birthday to me!) with our final day in my childhood home of 20 years on August 20th. I will be doing a recap post in the next few weeks.

Isn’t it beautiful? I love the vibrant color and little details! If you’re in the area, I recommend taking a stroll around Old Town, Alexandria. Enjoy your time and stop to pay attention to the undeniable charm surrounding you.

Happy Thursday! Off to drop off some Mary Kay products and finish packing…
