Procrastination Links 01.14.19

I’ve so appreciated the outpouring of support and comments on my post on An Eternity of Dry Januarys and How to Cope. It is comforting to know that I am not alone on this journey, and I am so grateful for our community of online readers. If you need a little distraction this week, check out my favorite procrastination links from around the web…

I can’t imagine the Instagram founders could have predicted this kind of photo and caption.

This woman has me so excited to grow taller and more willowy as I age.

Antiques of the Week: Le Parc en Decembre. Love this set of shot glasses. God knows we need our vitamin C, so get it here! Local peeps, this is a horrid photo but if you love needlepoint like me, check this out!
