Gypsy

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

by Fleetwood Mac

















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.

Crystal

Been having a lot of crystal visions myself lately. Pardon me, I'm just going through this heavy agate and crystal thing right now.


Erica Weiner makes effing amazing jewelry in general and this necklace is out of control!


And this notebook is gorge.

These are actually hand made soaps! Love em!


Kind of in love with these rings too, but they seem delicate and easily breakable too for someone as klutzy as me...I'm no ballerina like Stevie Nicks.

Leather & Lace

Just a few things that are giving me a pick me up...Stevie Nicks works for me all day, every day. She could be my Silver Spring...
