Charmed Life

I found these two photos in a dusty corner in an antique shop not too long ago. I love those white flower plumes. They reminded me of popcorn balls, or dainty lace doilies--which have been on the brain lately (the lace, not the popcorn balls. Ok, maybe the popcorn balls...) I'm thinking tea stained summer dresses? Yes sir. Something that would look just as nice as that sassy little girl scowling amongst the hydrangeas...

Pearls of Wisdom

Pearls & shells have been inspirin' me up the wall ever since I got back from the West Coast. I think I've caught some form of ocean fever...very strange considering my aversion to water. But some necklaces have gone into production   because of all this (photos soon!). You know what else I heard?? That whole "grain-of-sand" thing isn't real....mind blowing.

Ok here we go. Project No. 1: Woodenpearls

I've been working on putting together a mini-collection for the summer. (Think cotton things. Think see-thru things. Think cropped things. And sailing knots. LOTS of sailing knots.) It all started during an epic drive to the ocean a about a month ago. I fell in love with the colors and textures and thought they were a perfect thing to work with during these sunny months. It's a pretty simple (and I'll be honest--overused) concept, but think my take will give you more of a "the-mermaid-from-Splash-meets-Tom-Hanks-in-Castaway" feel, Like magical driftwood or something. You'll see...I'll be posting a few finished pieces later this week. Holla back.

parties. sweet parties.

2 mo' collages on children who party hardy--as they should.

like that one french movie...with that girl with that haircut.

Yes. It's true. Though we swore we would never tell anyone, Haley and I did attend the 2011 St. Catherine's University DewDrop Bop. And yes it fullfilled all of our wildest dreams. And yes we waited in line amongst chatty girls, and snotty kids to get this photostrip (which was nothing considering I've been waiting all my LIFE to get my pawz on one of these). And yes we got free ice cream--which provided awesome pose inspiration, as you can see...And yes it confirmed that I will never miss all-girl-private-catholic-school-end-of-the-year carnivals ever again. Ever.
