Security Blankets for the Boondocks

If you too live in the boondocks, somewhere deep in the woods, off the grid, in no man's land, then this post is for you. In quite possibly the slushiest day of the year, Haley and I decided to embark on a photo quest. So, we packed up my recently made "Security Blankets" (reconstructed blankets and afghans into cozy shrug sweaters....probably crocheted and knitted by somebody's grandma, long long ago...maybe even yours. You know the kind I'm talking about.), a fur hat, a bottle of Absinthe (for aesthetic purposes only), my Lomo camera, a poncho, and some rubber boots and got in my Bug and drove into the Kinnikinnick State Park to snip snap some snapshots--midwestern style. 

It was a chilllllly damp day, but that was no match for Haley Blayne Prochnow. Oh no no. She managed to look toasty and cozy like summer never left. Not to mention she un-stuck the Bug from the soupy ice mess we were working in. What a champ. Here's some proof of our labor to feast your eyes on:

unnecessary necessities with Haley Prochnow

After a melancholy night of watching Animal Hoarders  and sipping on cheap vodka, my counterpart, Haley and I decided to escape the cave, and do some much needed supply hunting.  Appropriately, we went to one of our favorite spots in Minneapolis--Hunt & Gather (just great, guys. Seriously, the best. Every time I go, I can't believe this place is real). After rummaging through piles of stamps, maps, and old photos, and fur collars-o-plenty, we both found some unnecessary necessities to feast our eyes on. Here are a few of my take-homes. The nostalgia makes me swooooooon. 







(the day was punctuated with quesadillas from Los Ocampo, and lemon-buttercream cupcakes from Salty Tart. Yum.)
