pink shower:

i've just sent out invitations to a dear friend's baby shower. as always, it was a bit more elaborate than i intended.. but i just love how they turned out! :)

leslie lane:

we had a lovely time trapsing about the hills of eastern kentucky. here's a little taste of our time there, starting with gran's breakfast table.. homemade buscuts & hamburger gravy, fried apples & orange juice. :) in many ways it seems to stand still in time.. here's a few glimpses of the nic-knacks & odds & ends that make this little corner of the world near and dear to our hearts.

home grown & canned last season.. green beans on the stove.

the two tiny rings at the center are gran's wedding set. the pink child pictured below is chad's mother. :)

grans neighbor gracie always deserves a visit. somewhere along the line it seems as though everyone is tied to a branch of the same wide reaching family tree.

treasure hunt:

one of our favorite things to do in ky is poke around the junk shops & antique markets with chad's uncle steve. there are plenty of treasures to be had!

i picked up a whole set of these 3" plaster letters for 75 cents! i'm still not quite sure what to do with them, but they were too cool to pass up...

poking around in louisville...

(i couldn't pass by without paying my respects to col. sanders.. now that i think of it, i had to practically step on the man to get this shot..)
