My Seventeenth

This is me right now. Yes. I had eight teeth (yes, eight!) pulled on Wednesday. What do you think of my new chipmunk look? Days 2 and 3 following the surgery were the most painful. Glad to have that part over. But now I'm just so tired of being in bed. So today, at last having a bit more energy, I resolved to do something fun. And thus this post. But I couldn't resist sharing the pictures of myself. It's a sight to behold, I think. 

 This post features pictures of gifts I got for my seventeenth at the beginning of the month--September 1st, to be exact. :) Anyways, I was given lovely things, and wanted to share a few pictures with you all. 

Little spice jars...for anything!

Good reads to anticipate. 

This is a little pot whose shape and color delight me! Is it not adorable?

Antique candelabra. Gorgeous. 

Linen dress. Lovely and comfy. I'm SO in love. 

Glass water bottle! Been wanting one of these. :)

Earrings--adorable with any outfit. 

Lapus Lazuli ring from my Mama. 

Pearls. Nothing can beat their loveliness. 

Lanterns! I got seven of them. They create such a nice, cozy space. 

An antique fountain pen. So look forward to learning how to use it.

All in all, I was a very blessed lass on my seventeenth birthday!

Now, with my loss of teeth, I'm trying to fill my time. It often becomes a conglomeration of reading, Pinterest, and eating soups and smoothies. If you've got a favorite recipe, let me know! :)
