Yorktown Road is one of those lovely Etsy shops that just makes you want to click on everything! I first spotted the gorgeous bags on the Etsy front page and I instantly had to check out the whole shop! Carol, the genius behind Yorktown Road, does a beautiful job making impeccable clutches and handbags that [...]
Oh my goodness, today has been one silly day of work! My positivity and patience were getting a little worn out so I went digging for some pretty things and I found lots! I thought you could use a bit of pretty to get you through that last and slowest part of the work day [...]
Can you believe July is more than halfway over? I hardly can! It’s still super hot here and our once bright green grass is more of a crispy brown. Everyday I rush home from work to give our poor little garden a good drink. Just watering in the morning isn’t enough these days. I must [...]
We went to see Inception Friday night and it’s a great movie, but that’s not what this post is about. This post is about a commercial. I’m sure you seen/read/been surprised by the Levi’s Go Forth campaign. That marketing camping mostly makes me want to run outside and discover new-to-me places and I never mind [...]

So today I’m finally going to let you in on a little secret, are you ready? Okay here it is: I’m getting ready to apply to the most amazing MFA program and I am so excited! Getting my MFA has been one of my goals for a few years and I spent a lot of [...]
Today I’m back to the ol’ office, coffee in hand and a small pile of data entry work in front of me. It’s not very exciting, but it’s kind of a nice way to ease back into the daily grind after four awesome days off. Lately Joel and I have been talking about some exciting [...]
I almost feel like I need to tack a little warning to the front of this post, something like “Warning: this post contains seriously gorgeous photos and you will want to buy them all!”…so consider yourself warned! I’ve been hooked on collage walls for ages now. They’re such great ways to add energy to your [...]
