Alice in Her Wonderland

It's going to be an exciting week! Of course we've got the 4th of July tomorrow--always lovely to celebrate now that we live near family and Jared is no longer in his training years. For Jared's 7 years of medical training we were either living in a country that didn't celebrate, or living on the opposite side of the country from any family, and more often than not Jared still had to work all day. A moment of silence for all those people working jobs that don't stop for major (or minor) holidays.

Then our TEN YEAR wedding anniversary is on Thursday! Wow. I'd say it flew by, but no, that did feel like at least ten years haha. Cheers to no medical school or HG in our next decade (though of course there will be other challenges). We're going to keep things low-key on our actual anniversary because we will be driving through the night to Utah that evening (not the first time we've spent our anniversary doing a long drive). But we are hoping to have a Lagoon date while we're in Utah, and then we're going to take an anniversary trip sometime down the line (either Hawaii or a cruise that departs from Seattle, maybe Alaska again).

This week I have some pictures of Alice and her "finished" bedroom. I'd love to add a pretty flush mount light, a butterfly mobile hanging from the ceiling, and window trim at some point. Those are low on the home projects priority list for the time being though so we're calling it finished and enjoying it!

Here is your official room tour:

^^Two art prints: an "Alice in Wonderland" still and an Alpine Larkspur for our little Alice Lark.

The only things we bought new for the room are the wallpaper, the drapes, and the rocking chair. Pretty much everything else is thrifted (the rose mirror was in Jared's sister Annie's room when she was little). And now, here's our little Alice Lark in the dress my mom crocheted when I was a baby. Thought about doing her hair up in a bow, but we love when her hair looks like this so we kept it this time to remember this little wavy mop of hair with the cutest cowlicks:
