loving lately:

just felt the need to share a few finds that i've admired as of late...

scallop necklace, $14 & flower necklace, $18 by mollie dash. i love her repurposed jewelry designs.

seltzer bottle, $38, from alphabetcocktail -aka a san diego cedros favorite, solo. i love the worn lable and weighty glass.

2009 spring collection, built by wendy oh, how i wish she published patterns for these!

the simple designs found at looolo (and the gorgeous couch used in that second picture!) -i think i just might be stuck in a stripe rut...

the ever inspiring ms. katie & her darling blog of her family & sewing endevors. sigh, such tallent...

on a related note, i've just recently started a little link collection over off to the side bar. it is my good go at gathering my favorite places on the web for all sorts of (often quite humbling!) creative inspiration. it's just a start & there will be more added from time to time. any suggestions out there?

hope it is a lovely saturday for you! i am off to a(nother) wedding! :)

down south:

a few snaps a the bridal shower of the soon to be mrs. evans! may she always know of the love that surounds her by those that held her close that day.

made it:

oy! there, finally caught up! the only other worthy-of-mentioning thing to happen to me in the past week was the new glasses i now (try to more consistently) sport. ;) chad took this great pic while we were on the seattle underground tour... just ignore the bail bond sign behind me... :)

on other fronts we are seeing significant progress! as of this friday we will (other than a bit of school debt) be... debt free!! yay! it was our goal to "skinny up" our finances in prep for the potential late summer purchase of the perfect fixer-upper house. :) as we get closer expect to see more posts on all things home related! :D

on the crafty front i've been busy busy... some day i'll have the courage to post about that too!

last day:

here’s a smattering of our last day, hiroki breakfast & downtown seattle/ pike market. we sent our friends back off to la early sunday morning. what a treat it was to have them here! we have them in our long range forcast of friends to visit & will miss them in the mean time.
ps- to give credit where due, all pics taken by whoever had the camera! (myself, chad, will or sara) we continue to love the new lens!

more still:

second day friday was equally as packed. first stop: underground…

we finished off the afternoon with a ferry ride to bainbridge & a late lunch.
