Photos from around the house

--I have always thought that a cool photo project would be a bunch of black and white photos that were         of things that we associate strongly with certain colors (those flowers are really yellow). 

--The porch is real nice this time of year. 

--These days I cannot drink enough coffee. 

--Big week for shows. Unfortunately Bird Man was canceled, but First Aid Kit rocked the house. 

--I got that plaid skirt. It's from Pendleton. I love it. That skirt is vintage, but I found one like it here. 

--It's amazing how lighting candles changes the mood so much. 

--I love keeping flowers in the house. 

--Handmade Napkins. 

--So happy about something. 

Love in the 70's

My parents met in San Francisco in the summer of 1969. Their first date was a Peter, Paul, and Mary concert. You get the picture.

When they got married they didn't send out paper wedding invitations, instead they cut large rounds of plywood into large puzzle pieces and sent those out. They asked people to decorate the puzzle piece and then bring it to the wedding. When all the pieces were together again my parents planned to glue them together and use them for their dining room table. This didn't quite happen and the pieces are still in boxes in the attic. But we got them out the other night and I was so impressed and wowed and generally blow away.
