black earth prairie girls.

I have wonderful friends and one of them is hidden in the prairies of Black Earth, WI. I drove up the drive way to find myself surrounded by yellow flowers and smiley Emily running to meet me! I was giddy the whole weekend..from walks around the prairie and seeing the magical woods where Emily grew up, eating pears from the pear tree, finally stepping into Halle's Vintage, a mystical mecca in Mazomanie, where 2 giddy girls played dress up for 2 hours and came out with some of the cutest loot I ever did see, a Wisconsin small town extravaganza tour featuring Spring Green, a charming town with a main street full of old cars, and Mt. Horeb, a Scandinavian hub with a mustard museum..yes please!, lemonade spritzer and This American Life...I was refreshed and happy. Love you Em!

yes please.

J.Crew pre- fall. Yum.

journals are here!

hey hi! I have more pics to post of my apartment, etc. but for now an update..my journals are in at Barnes and Noble! It isn't the colors I chose, but it was fun to walk into the store and see it! They have little blurbs about the artists online here! Hope you like it!

i'm here.

I am living in Minneapolis..finally! Here are some snapshots from my first week here..My apartment, the fresh flowers I bought at the market on Thursday sitting in my kitchen, the Walker Art Museum that is 2 blocks away from me, and the cherry sculpture at the Walker Sculpture gardens!

real strawberries.

One of the last things I did before I left home was pick strawberries with my mom. Let's just say the strawberries they sell..anywhere...are not real strawberries. They are teeny and sweet as can be and it was a treat to taste what they really taste like.

little things.

There are lots of little things in the garden I have been seeing everyday...like this little bud peeking open, little droplets of water, and little sweet clovers.

delighted in d.c.

What a great weekend in D.C.!
Some Favorites...
-Georgetown was full of quaint sights that reminded me of Savannah
-My first trip to a Paper Source store
-Wonderful sights at the Museum of Natural History like the wall of shells of every kind lined up perfectly
-Seeing a handful of my favorite paintings at the National Gallery of Art
-A beautiful wedding that couldn't have been more fun! Hot pink peonies, historic setting, dancing ALOT, beautiful wines and champagne, new friends and memorable company, new reasons to visit England, Ireland, and Scotland!

So the big photoshoot was today! The dresses are done and the girls looked absolutely precious! It was a wonderful day...My lil sis was in town and we were getting ready and running errands getting ready. Of course one of our stops was at Michael's to see if Martha had anything to add... and of course she did. If anyone is having a party or just wants to do something fun and happy, go get Martha's tissue paper pom pom kit! They were amazing and added so much to our shoot!
