I’ve had great luck with good quality, vintage, wood furniture on Facebook marketplace but I also no longer use facebook. I am a huge eBay fan lol. Thrift stores, vintage stores, etc. are an amazing place to find some unique stuff. I’ve gotten some great lamps, coffee table books, glassware/vases, framed wall art. A lot of vintage stuff is going to be built better and of course more unique because it’s older, wasn’t mass produced to the scale that things are today, and especially with the way many people probably though theirs away leaving fewer to find. The price points when thrifting are also great.

Thank you! I saw a local flea market i was going to go to this weekend. I definitely it has higher quality products that’s another reason I want to get away from the other store.

I don't think our spaces are meant to stay the same forever. And if you buy things used you won't feel bad selling it for something else used at some point. 1-2 times a year I sell and swap out a few items of furniture and then rearrange. It does wonders for the brain and sparking creativity/joy.

I know I’ve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she won’t be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work weren’t even as good as the other person’s normal writing was. #2 let’s say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasn’t even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact. Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and they’ll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all over🙃

Today was one of those bad days where it causes a headache and you feel exhausted from everything, but somehow a nice long walk outside made things seem a little better. Fresh air and thinking or daydreaming while listening to the sounds of outside. I sometimes find myself taking for granted the place that I live, I work or I’m too tired and I use that as an excuse to not go outside more. Yet every time I get the chance to spend the time outside, I can’t say I ever regret it. I’m going to make it a goal for myself to try and take a walk outside at least a few times a week.
