Columbia visit: Part I

This week, while visiting my best friend in her lovely town of Columbia, Missouri...

I indulged in copious amounts of this:

(mostly in my favorite flavor, lavender honey!)

darling vintage cloche

Sometimes we just have to reward ourselves...

& that I did.

Somehow I miraculously managed to make all A's this semester, even though I went to school for 21 hours, worked at a restaurant and on campus, and was sure I would not get through my seemingly tough art history class, as well as my fourth semester of french. But I did, & i don't want this to be an entry of me bragging about myself, but I am just proud/shocked!

So because of this, I bought this darling vintage cloche in my very favorite color.

I love it, & am anxiously awaiting its arrival on my doorstep!

Just a little bit of natural happiness for my Monday full of studying & anticipating summertime:

a darling little feather on my local egg!

These are the little things that inspire my way of eating & talking to the others about the importance of doing so, as well!

Happy Monday & happy almost summertime!

My goodness. It has certainly been too long.

My life has been a wild mixture of happenings-getting by on three hours of sleep, writing too many papers, struggling to make time to see my family/boyfriend.

& then, certain events come along:

- like watching the sunrise with my love two weekends ago, after not having done so since the first time we spent all night together, nearly three years ago.

-& other amazing experiences like visiting my best friend (who lives 6 hours away) for the weekend in honor of her 21st birthday.

There are those days when I feel like i'm just never going to get my head above the water to embrace summertime...& there are days when I get those beautiful breaths of fresh air that know just how to renew my spirit & make me feel whole again.

I am so in love with the amazing GREEN in all these photos!

It is so comforting to see the Earth alive again.

P.S. Here's a little sneak-peak at my latest series:

...to be continued!

I have not had the most fortunate spring break- getting sick with fever & a double ear infection that left me to lay around the house for three days straight & all. But I am trying to be positive about it, 'cause before I know it, summer's freedom will be evident in my life, & i couldn't anticipate it more!

After going back to school on Monday, I will have a mere 5 weeks of school, finals, and then I will open my arms to embrace the warmth & liberation.

I have been quite the slacker on this blog here this past school year, but it has been my busiest thus far, but soon enough I will (hopefully) be posting more frequently & feeling a little more fulfilled!

There are a lot of exciting things to look forward to this Summer:

1) I have decided to not bog myself down with work. I have been working 3 days a week at Bosco's & if that has been able to sustain me through the school year, I have no doubt that it can during the summer, where so much more money is to be made in the restaurant business.

2) My very talented boyfriend/DJ & Producer, also known as WOLF-e-WOLF will be playing at Wakarusa Music Festival in June. And lucky for me, he got us each a free VIP pass(that are worth 500 a piece! crazy!) He is also opening for one of the biggest names in electronic music right now, Bassnectar. This guy is seriously huge & so incredible.

3) Possibly taking a trip to the beach with the family + my love + sister's love! & hopefully making a trip to Austin with Nick to stay with a friend & explore the city we may move to in a few years!

Abandonment II

I finished a few more prints for my After Humans series. I'd love to continue the project, but I'll have to set it aside for a while to finish other ones I have in the works!

(p.s. some are spotty due to dusty scanner!)

I just literally laughed out loud to myself about this post that a wrote a few months ago, when Beatrix Kiddo(formerly known as Don Juan) first came into our humble abode.

I'd forgotten to write on here that after taking Don Juan to the vet, we discovered he was actually a she, and promptly changed her name to Beatrix Kiddo.

She loves it here, and we love her.

Now, we just have to work on getting this stubborn one to get along with her a little better : )
