photo decor

I like this idea. If you have lots of fun polaroids you should do this.

time.

Boo. I haven't found the time to do any posting. I miss it.

I've been slammed at work (Which is actually a good thing. I've been working on some exciting design projects) and by the time I've belly danced and managed to get home, I'm worn out. On Sunday I finally caught up on folding 8 loads of laundry and as a reward I read some of my new book, The Time Traveler's Wife.

That's all that's really new. That and birthday parties, dinner gatherings, and celebrating our 6 month anniversary (which is actually very exciting!). This weekend I'm heading to Ohio to see some people who are very special to me. And then Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. I'm making all the desserts this year, I'm pretty excited. I would love is my treats looks like the ones in these images. One can hope.

I'll be back to the blogging world soon, I hope.

xoxo

Tamara | Senior

This girl is so much fun. She's a natural model! Tamara is graduating this December and we had the pleasure of taking Tamara's senior pictures. I'm not even done editing these but they are so fun I couldn't wait any longer. Thanks for an awesome afternoon Tamara!

friends

We love our friends. And it's so nice when some come live with us for a week!

Aaron and Rika, who got married 2 weeks ago, are about to embark on an awesome adventure in Taiwan. How fun! We're a little jealous. Anyway, while they have been here we've had loads of adventures. Mostly cooking Indian feasts and playing outside. The sun was so pretty Sunday evening we decided to capture some sun flare and jumping action. To read more about their adventures (and see more photos), click here.

etsy fun

Every now and then I find something that I truly adore on Etsy. Today, it's the Heart of Light shop. I think I just may get a bunch  of things and give them away as presents (or keep them, tee hee). You see, I'm not a the best present giver, and this year it's been horrible. I'm behind on 2 birthday presents (I do love you both)! Anyway these are super fun, no?

...and heh. These items can be found in many other colors besides yellow. After I  wrote all this and posted the photos I just realized I must be partial to yellow. :) It is my favorite color after all.

Happy weekend!

tea towel calendar

I know that this calendar (and more like it) have already been plastered around the inter-web, but I love it so much that I actually had a dream about it last night. Haha. I think it's beautiful. Maybe I'll make calendars next year. I really need to start my etsy shop...hrm.

One can purchase this lovely piece and others like it, here.

Jeremiah + Emily | Engagement

We had so much fun this weekend! We had the opportunity to shoot our good friends, Jeremiah & Emily, for their engagement session. It was a beautiful fall day and they were a blast to hang out with.

Here are a few pictures from the shoot - isn't this couple gorgeous!?

home style

People often ask me what my style is at home. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I love design but sometimes it overwhelms me. And when it comes to style, I like our home, but I also know that everything in it doesn't necessarily uniformly fit into a specific style. I know that I like modern things, splashes of bright color, homemade art pieces, pictures, glass, woodsy textures, black and white, clean surfaces, and lots and lots of light.

Today I found this flikr set and I love it so much. I'd move in. Also, I think I've realized that I my ultimate dream home would have real wood floors. :) I wonder what husband thinks... :D
