Welcome! I hail from Northern California where I'm in love with the simple things of life; a slower way of living. 

This blog is all about a simple but good life. While it began years ago as an outlet for my creative writing - and there are a lot of articles on the craft of writing - it is ultimately about everything that happens in my life centered around slow living.

I still often write about books and the art of writing, and here are a few past posts about writing and how to write well. You can find many more throughout this blog. Look for the search bar and type in “writing.” 

Along with doodling down ideas and dialogue for stories, and articles, I also love vintage clothing -- both wearing and selling it. 

If you're interested in slow fashion and vintage fashion, visit my vintage blog called Perennial Vintage Supply. 

This blog covers all sorts of things active in the vintage community from dating vintage items, to background research on specific designers, to sale updates in my online vintage shop.

If you love vintage and slow fashion like I do, this blog may be right up your alley. I post almost every day; a vintage journal, if you will.

If you're interested in more about minimal living, visit my minimal living blog called Simply Minimally. This is where I get to the nuts and bolts of the minimalist lifestyle. While this blog, A Work in Progress, does cover things that deal with minimalism, it focuses more on all aspects of slow living. 

If you want more of this, head over to my minimal living blog and sign up for blog post updates. I would love to have you alongside me while we journey through minimal living and the minimalist lifestyle together.

Contact me if you have any questions, or have an idea for a future post. Email me at hjspiva (@) gmail (dot) com. I love hearing from my readers.

I’m so glad you’re here.
