flowers in her hair

images shot with spectra soft tone film
I hadn't used my spectra for months, but it's always been my favorite ever since I was little.
I brought it to the last day of elementary school, and all my friends were fascinated.
I still feel butterflies watching the images develop.

blue

spring, please come soon! I'm feeling a little tired of always being inside.

garden party

here's a little, well, quite large playlist for you.

mine and kyle's three year anniversay was a few weeks ago, he got me those nice flowers.

waldeinsamkeit

a book I finished last month. Waldeinsamkeit is the german word for "the feeling of being alone in the woods". Interesting that we don't have a word for that in english!
It took forever for me to find that little music box. I installed in into a cheap wooden box, which holds the book. Watch the video to hear the little song.

thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes. it's taking longer than expected to get my paypal changed to the right name (it's still my maiden name), so apologies for the long etsy delay.

twenty-two

today I am twenty-two.

blizzard people

the blizzard is so bad today, work got canceled! a nice little surprise for my first weekend of winter break.

i've lost count of all the people i've seen stuck in the snow so far this morning. it's fun to see strangers helping strangers, giving high fives of success and huddling together to shield the wind.
poor kyle has to walk home from work while i stay in and wrap christmas gifts/make paper people.
we actually cheated a bit last night and each opened up one gift (woops!).

etsy opening in four days!! (i'm still narrowing down on my shop's name! hmmmmm)

dark

a little book finished a few weeks ago.

we were little tigers, hiding in the night
catching fireflies under quiet street lights.
a velvet ribbon, in the dark
fell from my hair to the meadowlark.
quick like rabbits, we ran out of sight
until we couldn't find anything but moonlight.

only one more week of school for the semester, and then next week, good news--
i'm opening my etsy shop!
books, prints, and other little things. full details next week.
