"I'm a modern girl but I fold in half so easily" - Rilo Kiley
I am always thinking about how weird it is that someday the things we use everyday will be vintage and antiques. I love finding old interesting things to put in my home and I can't help but think about the girl who will one day stumble upon my old recipe box or whisk and think its an amazing find.
I am a modern girl. Now. But not forever.
We are a generation of portable computers, social networks, and having the internet anywhere we go. We are also a generation of instant gratification. Think about it if you ever have a question about anything you go on your phone and google it. When a page is loading on your computer for more than a 30 sec we start to get antsy. We are constantly texting our friends and when we don't get a response it drives us wild! When all the while we could just call them. When something new comes out we run out and buy it that day. We are a generation of must haves.
I am trying hardest to remove myself from all the clutter that the media throughs our way. I want to spend more time in my kitchen. I was making salsa the other night ( seriously so good) and as I was chopping away I was feeling so content and so happy. There is something very calming about taking time away from our screen's and just do something that makes us happy. I want to cook more meals and have fellowship with friends over the dinner table. So come over anytime! ;)
I was just contemplating this the other day. Someday, someone will purchase a kitchen aid mixer from an antique store, one solitary attachment, crusty knobs, gooey cord and all. It will be placed in the corner of a kitchen counter with some other random finds. A little still life, of our generation. It's intriguing, and odd. Happy and little sobering. Pretty photo!
