the dog days are over

these are taken with my new color shade push film from the impossible project.  they didn't come out as bright as i'd hoped but i knew that would happen  because of the distance.  but this was once my favorite buildings in cleveland.  you see it driving in and out of the city across the cuyahoga and they are taring it down to make room for a new bridge or something stupid.  there were loads of people gathering around  in the flats taking pictures and grumbling about how awful the whole thing is.  

when is this old world gonna do me right?

just a few albums i'm listening to right now.

what are your newest favorites?  

i feel ok

this is just the most adorable idea ever.  i found them in the vintage store in durham i used to work at.  the owner is always discovering lovely little local artists to feature.  

you turn around and you don't know where you've been

my lovely durham farmer's market.  it's one of my favorite things to do when i come home. today i had a wonderful brunch at my favorite french restaurant, vin rouge, and later my parents and i are going to see cave of forgotten dreams.  i can't wait!

from noon until noon again

i hadn't checked out the matt and nat site in ages and these caught my eye.  they've been my favorite bag designer for ages now.  everything they do is eco friendly and vegan.  plus they're super gorgeous.

i was so tired, i didn't notice you there

 my newest creative endeavor

 i'm embroidering "blow me" on vintage hankies

 funny!

 and this sofa is my new baby... i rescued her from a nursing home where she was sure to be thrown away.  she is most likely from the 1930's and i love her so much!

i leave for a visit back to north carolina in two days.  it's a trip sure to be full of good food, baseball games and sweaty southern weather.

too much of your light, make me blind

i may be a little late but i've just discovered the lovely music of oh land through the music issue of nylon.  i'm completely in love.

if i fell in love with you, would you promise to be true?

what i've been up to lately... 

 drinking coffee

 spending time outdoors

going to fun outdoor festivals

my lovely friend steph took all these photographs.  she is a photography major at school with me.

i'd love to hear about your favorite summer activities.
