looking up

Sometimes, my friends, it is good to spend time lying on your back in the grass, looking up at the sky through a tree. I think that as adults we collectively don’t do this enough – let’s work on changing that. Have a lovely weekend!

Eliza & Nathaniel

This past Sunday I got to coordinate the loveliest wedding. I’ll write more about it when the pro-photos come in (which I am *so* excited about, because I love the photographer’s work), but suffice it to say, they got it right – love, commitment, ceremony, joy, and community. And some pretty damn delicious mini cupcakes [...]

rock collections

I am really digging these rock collections by Cori Kindred. The perfect thing to slip onto a bookshelf, or place on top of a dresser along with some framed photos. photo: Cori Kindred originally found via Emily P-S

a glimpse of myself at work

I almost never get to see photos of what I look like when I’m working (appropriately: I’m not usually also a guest, and so I work hard to be both easily accessible and out of the way, which means professional photographers don’t always capture me,) so I’m loving the photos popping up on Facebook from [...]

tigers

Tigers What are we now but voices who promise each other a life neither one can deliver not for lack of wanting but wanting won’t make it so We cling to a vine at the cliff’s edge. There are tigers above and below. Let us love one another and let go. -Eliza Griswold This has [...]

books I’ve read lately, June 2011

I’m a reader, and always have been – my childhood best friend has memories of playing with my little sister during playdates because I would just want to sit around and read books, and she hadn’t learned how to read yet. Lately I’ve been so slammed with work that I haven’t been reading as much [...]

giant gold balloons

I think that giant mylar ballons make every party better, so when working on the plans for a graduation party I did this weekend, I knew immediately what the main decoration should be: Pretty awesome, despite the terrible iPhone pic, no? Everyone should probably see their name in giant inflatable letters at some point – [...]

fancy jello shots

While I’m not quite sure how I feel about these being a wedding trend, I definitely feel like I would like to try some of these fancy jello shots. Regular ones taste so terrible, but I’m assuming these wouldn’t: I mean, come on, that looks delicious. Right? photo: Jelly Shot Test Kitchen: Jell-ing Classic Cocktails-One [...]

found baseballs

One of my favorite things about summer (if you’re not getting the picture, I really love every single thing about summer) is that it’s baseball season. I realize that a lot of people out there think they don’t like baseball, but let me tell you why you should give it another chance. 1) It’s played [...]
