Hi, I’m Elly!

I’m curious about almost everything.

I love going places I’ve never been, making ordinary days feel a little special, collecting stories, laughing until something becomes an inside joke, and noticing the tiny things that are ridiculously easy to miss.

I’m a traveler, a homebody, a chronic noticer, a maker of things, and someone who is perpetually becoming a slightly different version of herself.

The Living Part is where I keep pieces of all of that.

It’s part journal, part scrapbook, part love letter to being here.

There will be adventures and quiet days. Things I’m making and things I’m figuring out. Places I love. Little obsessions. Big feelings. Bits of beauty. Probably some nonsense.

I don’t really believe life begins once everything is figured out.

I think this is it.

The messy middle.
The tiny joys.
The changing your mind.
The going somewhere.
The coming home.

The living part.

I’m really glad you’re here. ♡
