Goodbye Little Apartment...

And so it begins...the season of change! Today is my last day in my apartment after three years. There's no better way to end a stressful week than with a big move before final exams, right? Ok...that was a little sarcastic.

I experienced ups and downs in this little place, but I am so thankful for the time I spent here. I was really able to grow and learn how to be myself. I studied like a mad woman, shuffled around in my socks when I had a cold, knit my fingers to the bone for my first craft show and watched a lot of Netflix. I can't believe my time here is over! For now, I am back at my parents house as I finish up final exams. I can't wait to see where I end up next! I'm sure that place will be just as important to me.

I will always remember the blog posts and knit projects I dreamed up while sitting on that couch. Most importantly, I will never forget that I finally found myself during the time spent here and how I learned to appreciate the kooky-colorful-knitter that I am.

Thanks little apartment! It was fun!

P.S. - I just wanted to thank you all again for being so supportive during these next few weeks. My mind is running in circles and your kind words really help me slow down and smile...if only for a moment. :)

  3. Such an absolutely gorgeous little apartment, I can see how you made many wonderful memories there and I know that you'll make many more when at your parents' house (that's where Jen and I live right now - with her parents) and in your next charming space. <3 Take time and breath, lovely lady!!!

  17. That couch! And those pillows! I want them! Such a cute little space.

    I always have a hard time leaving every apartment I've ever moved out of. It's such a sad thing. So many memories! But you will create new memories, for sure, and you should probably move to DC because we're pretty cool here and we have SO MANY CUPCAKES! ;)

  26. It looks like such a sweet little place! Reminds me of my apartment in college. As long as you have those things that make you smile, wherever you are will always be home :)

  27. Oh good lord! Could your apartment be any cuter? I think not! Darling and oh so stylish! Best of luck with your move! Can't wait to see your new digs! :]

  28. Wherever did you find that record player? I just went through all my dad's old records but my parents' player is old and heavy and clunky. I'd love to find something like yours. Much luck over the next few weeks. I graduated college in 2007 and will never forget it - so many emotions. I felt like I had just finished a marathon but was really sad to reach the end. No one really talks about how you handle post-college life so give yourself some time to experience all the joy and the sadness.

    1. I got the record player from Urban Outfitters!

      Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I really appreciate it. :)

  29. I love your blog! I found it recently, and there is so much prettiness and inspiration here!
    Good luck moving! For a couple of years there, I was moving during finals week every. single. semester. It's rough, but you're graduating! How awesome is that?! Last time you'll have to deal with this! (Unless grad school is in the cards) :)

  30. That was a very cute apartment! Everyone seems to have said most things I have thought while reading your post and looking at the pictures. I'm betting you've got some wonderful adventure ahead and once you find a new home it will be fun to decorate. That last picture is my favorite. The record player is just awesome and I remember reading your post about making the crochet borders to save the adorable calendar images (which was an amazing idea btw). Keep up the positive thoughts for the move and exams!

  31. Here's to great adventures and finding somewhere new to feel at home!

  32. Then buy a couch that looks exactly just like that, and put it in your next apartment. Those knitted stuff are pretty cool. Which among those three was the longest to finish?
