Whew! This summer has been absolutely crazy, chock full of great things, some tougher things, lots of life.

Along with much of my free time, shopping and internet time have both gone out the window, for the most part! Though I have to go to a wedding in a little over a week and I had to have this dress:


Fantastical dress for a fantastical summer. Will try to post pics of the finished look once I have it in my hot little hands!

Landslide

Yosemite looms large in my memory. As a child we made a yearly jaunt every spring and it remains my favorite place on earth, and one of the most evocative of times past. Having breakfast at the Ahwahnee Hotel was always a highlight on our trips. I spent countless hours exploring both the interior and the grounds and its intricacies have been etched in my mind.

The decor in my apartment today is in many ways influenced by its design. I'm always looking for more ways to create the feeling of being in Yosemite in my tiny place (which is hilarious when I think about it -- our apt is so tiny and dark!) and just found out that Pendleton has a special Ahwahnee blanket! Love it.

Not in the mood to appropriately match the post to music today! More in the mood to just stick what's on my mind there instead...Can you tell I'm tired?












Such a sweet little charm bracelet!






















And such a lovely tea towel!

















These napkins are pretty fab too!

p.s. where can I watch the Tusk documentary in full?? It's a seemingly lifelong quest.
