It's a Bon Iver, earl grey tea kind of weekend.

My couch/cuddling areas have been looking particularly cozy.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

pattern play

Fave floral ever- this perfect vintage fabric caught my eye a few years ago "unusual daphne" Nothing could go more perfect with the couch's unique shade of green.

chartreuse crushed velvet

I can't resist that tail and those little mitts.

Hope you had a great weekend!



puppy party

Copper's 5th birthday!

we were just hanging on the deck when...

His cousin Mogwai came to play!

My little bro(19!) just moved into his first place, it's on my street!

he's a silly little piggy

Lumen and Zizi stuck to higher ground..Lu's not sure what kind of creature Mog is yet but..

he does not like haha

Z reminds me of the black wolf from The NeverEnding Story and the snake from Beetlejuice haha

Happy Weekend!

weekend winsome

I used to love to post these little recaps religiously every Sunday night, I haven't done one in the longest! I blame my bad blogging on the broken down laptop. I swear I was so much more productive when I could watch tv/netflix and do work..being in my studio is too secluded!

tasty treats-

 Do you know the joys of jello 123? Luke has this desert down.

Remember the Book It! program in school?  I used to go crazy for the personal pan cheese pizza. Luke's been trying to get me to read The Count of Monte Cristo aloud before bed. I made it through a few chapters, I earned it. haha

(favorite thing in the 90s scholastic book club was the mineral book with specimens)

                                           

Lu's getting so big, like a teenager haha he's 4lbs now!

little black bean toes

this was my life this morning haha there's a bunny in that mix too!

whomp fest

watching-

Saturday morning Luke and I got sucked into watching a "Too Cute" marathon on animal planet. Baby animals and a whole episode on sloths!! I adore their perma smile, these people literally have my dream job!

Buttercup the sloth is the coolest.

Did you guys watch The Walking Dead premiere tonight?! So excited that I was actually caught up with a show enough to watch it "live" haha I'm always late to the party.

Hope you had a great weekend!

We've been watching this lately, the fair is in town so it's perfect timing! I can't really even begin to describe my love for this show. It combines my interest in depression era fashion and furnishings with circus shenanigans and mysticism, a supreme battle of good and evil. It's all around awesome, albeit a bit dark..one of my favorite shows ever. Based in the 1930's it follows a traveling carnival and it's troop of misfits around the United States during the dust bowl. It's one of those great HBO shows that was canceled far before it's time..I think it would be better received now in the wake of crazier shows like True Blood. I'm really sad there's only two seasons..and I'm a little sad for you if you haven't watched this show yet!

*voice of mr.krabs!!

We had the most perfect, cool weather this weekend. As I'm typing this the chilly air is rushing through the open windows..it's 70! I get excited about things like that. We even slept with the bedroom windows open the past few days. Luke tried to wake me up this morning.."get outta bed sleepy head." I just snuggled in further saying "but it's sleeping weather" haha I just love it.

Took Clemmie out for a midday bike ride..Z rode in the basket for about 1 minute haha

Lets roll.

Playing with my new favorite vintage camera, it matches my bike!

Even though I was dying for a ferris wheel ride/funnel cake it was raining on and off so we decided to grill and make our own at home instead!

a few shots from last year..

Pretty darn good.

I hope you had a fun weekend!

gloomy sunday

We had an awesome, low key weekend. I kind of love the days when there is really nothing to do but whatever sounds good. There's been a crazy heat wave for weeks and the rain finally came on Sunday. It was that light, steady rain that just cools down the air..we threw open every window. Chilly days in the summer are my favorite! The rain curbed our plans of a little day trip to Grafton for the riverside flea market,hummingbird festival(!), and blackberry picking..sounds awesome right?! We stayed in town instead and pretended like we were on vacation.

 Homemade gooey butter cake..The best. The recipe's from high school home ec, my favorite class.(grandma Betty's plates)

Fresh picks-this is what I normally strive for when thrifting: 60's florals,sweet flats,anything tooled,cute/pretty glass things &

enamel brooches! These are kind of hard to find lately so it's extra exciting.

60's scrabble..original owners notebook

Most of the time was spent outside on the deck being our future old people selves. An entire game of scrabble,coffee,little sandwiches, animal friends..it was perfection. To be fair we played the loose rules edition..

honey peanut butter+strawberry jam

 Zizi's getting back to her feisty self, she had a sick spell and made me worry like crazy. I love this sweet girl. We took her in a few years ago and she's had my heart ever since Luke plopped her rumpled self down on our bed. She's the creepiest/cutest thing I've ever seen..her profile is so sinister. And she has this weird little goatee. My tiny bearded lady. I want to restore the eaves on our 1860's house with little gargoyles of her haha

Gave myself some fresh fringe/color. Such a weird in-between stage, all I want to do in this heat is throw it in a tiny ponytail. Growing it out from a pixie is tough!

Happy Tuesday!

hark!

♪ Careless in our summer clothes,

splashing around in the muck and the mire ♪

hang me up to dry

I'd be more inclined to do my laundry if it looked like this all of the time! haha The only good thing about this dry, scorching heat is the lightening speed line drying. Summer sun laundry just smells the best.

We have this little brick area between the carriage house and deck that is the perfect hidden spot for a clothes line..and globe lights,courtesy of Luke. I took a solo trip last spring to hang with my oldest friend in Charleston and came back to a clean house and these strung up! What a guy.

Kitty rescuer..zizi loves to be with us in the yard but likes to explore a bit too far haha

It was his golden birthday yesterday, 29 on the 29th! 

We hung out in the air conditioning watching whatever he wanted..

I know I can't be the only one who gets sucked into watching adventure time and regular show?! Lumpy space princess kills me.

♪ It's summertime and you know what that means ♪

it's been in my head for months..haha

Baxter dug around in the dirt and plants on the deck this morning while I was watering the garden and had himself a munch of lettuce..followed by a bath!

I adore his little acorn nose

It's so hot here..like over 100 degrees. Record breaking temps! I'm a winter baby, Fall is my comfort level! It was 108 on Thursday and is forecasted to be in the hundreds for at least a week straight. My glob. I'll be inside doin my spring..er summer cleaning and watching ridiculous tv shows. After exhausting all of my options on netflix instant I clicked my way onto pretty little liars..it's too much, I kind of love it. I just wanna know who A is! haha I'm 1/2 watching while cleaning my room, it's like I'm a teenager all over again. Kind of.

Stay cool!
