Hi, my email is wonky.
I am fooling around with my domain and the email through the site, so I hope I can figure it out.
In the meantime, if you need to email me - [email protected]

Best,

junk style

I like these repurpose project ideas for the summer garden by JunkMarket from an old issue of C.Home. Can't get to any of these ideas now though, my primary goal for the backyard is vegetation.

He really likes reading about cars

M {flipping through an old Martha magazine, landing on a car ad} -Mama, I have read that many Jaguar enthusiasts think that this model is the worst. With the trapezoidal headlights and the...not having the trademark grill...it is a car fit for a hag.

What can you even say in response to that, besides chuckle and say I love you?

initial idea

I have some new cake toppers and decorations I will be adding to my shop and site in the next few days. I think that this monogram topper was featured in Martha Stewart's Art of Cakes on the Style Network, along with some other toppers. { I missed the show, boo!}

The base is velvet and the hand cut letter is covered in german glass glitter, embellished with paper leaves and antique buds made of woven metal thread. And, of course, it comes in any letter.

This story

is so touching. What a brave girl and a good deed. Here.

I want to be friends with his friends

I think that Chris McVeigh is one lucky guy { you know, besides being talented} - he gets to spend time playing with chipmunks. Just looking at his photos make me happy.

the beginning

Yesterday evening I picked up G from work {sans boys}, drove to the other side of town, stopped the car and gave him a kiss - same exact spot as our first kiss, exactly twenty one years ago.

Feels good.

from the top

Ladies Day at the Royal Ascot 2009. Love this shot of the crowd, the beaver pelt top hats and the fun ritual of it all. And the ladies hats, wow.

 

To the moon

Love the simplicity and saturation of these vintage Russian matchbox labels. Via Sci-Fi-O-Rama

magic crayons

The wonderland project by photographer Yeondoo Jung is from a few years back - children's drawings brought to life and the amazing photos that result. A perfect visual paradigm that what you imagine can be made real.
