i'm hooked


i've been super busy the past week or so.
finally tackling some projects around the house.
{which meant the shop suffered from a bit of neglect}
nothing MAJOR since we'd don't plan on staying in this house very long.
just a few things to help keep this tiny crib {somewhat} organized.
we're short on closet space
and i'm big on long sweaters
so hooks are a nice solution.
especially since this wall
was bare nekkid.





i have my heart set on a simpler set but decided to use these
since they were on hand
{bought them a long time ago at anthro, very on sale}
and i won't mind leaving them behind.
aside from our bedding
we didn't have much going on
as far as textiles.
hanging cozy sweaters and lids seem to
soften the space up a bit too.
you like?

blazing a new warpath.


old dutch military bunker + giant saw?
poetic and strikingly handsome.
just slice that thing in half.
boom... place of contemplation.
that's good work you guys.

there's something to be said for anyone
who can elevate something as basic as a gif
brandon jan blommaert blew me away with how beautiful these are

hello, lover.


what a great weekend, eh?
we had an early lunch in the park on saturday
because the taco truck i'm in love with
was parked on the other side of the park near our house.
solid!
the bright red maples are incredible right now.
some are a super pretty dark pinky romantic-y red
and some are practically neon red.
just beautiful.

was it my love for the gorgeous fall reds 
that drove me to buy this bright ass lipstick
over the weekend?
i'm not sure what has possessed me.
i'm not really a lipstick kind of girl...
even at my wedding i wore a natural looking gloss.
whatever the case may be
i'm kinda in love with it.
it's a whole lot of color!
this one in particular smells like cupcakes.
yes, cupcakes.
and it lasts forever without drying your lips.
it's called "lover".
haaaaaay.



the other theory about this whole bright lipstick thing
is that i'm feeling nostalgic 
about the freaking nineties...
oh yeah.
oh no.
it can't be.
my friends and i had super deep mac shades
falling out of our messenger back pockets like crazy.
although, i did find this gem of a shot from 1994 and 
apparently this is not my first love affair
with bright red lipstick.



what's up palazzo pants?
i loved those.  little cream & yellow flowers all over.
this was really pretty dressy for me in college.
lots of great things here people.
the matisse from the poster sale.
my t-square.
the flip & fold lounge seat.
jane's marlboro mediums.
{i was a parliment light fan at the time}
and the shortest haircut i've ever had.
that was a really bad idea. 
it was SO hard to straighten.
besides the red lipstick
this photo falls into the "lesson learned" category.
let's hope for better use of fall reds 
for now...
and in the future.

puff. puff. give...


we've been late to the game on a few seasons of some really great shows.
sometimes they're on channels we don't have.
sometimes we just aren't up to speed.
either way, we just put them in our netflix queue and catch up
marathon style.
we like the rush of watch things marathon style.
we become addicted.
i.e. "tell me this isn't the last episode on this dvd. it can't be!"
and "where's the frickin' mailman already? it's not sunday, is it?"
this happened with mad men, eastbound & down, and true blood
to name a few.

a few weeks back my cousin suggested breaking bad
and gave us a copy of the first season to borrow.
have you seen it?
love it.  i'm so involved sometimes it makes my shoulders tense up!
highly recommend.
the storyline revolves around a chemistry teacher
who hooks up with a former loser student
to cook & sell methamphetamine to pay for his cancer treatment.
trust me. it's good.
we're addicted.
speaking of which...where is my damn dvd,  NETFLIX?!?!?

to show our appreciation for introducing us 
to breaking bad
i decided to make some rock candy 
that looked like meth
and send it to my cousins.
classy, right?




i had never made rock candy before
and when i added vanilla for flavor it changed color.
ideally, it would have been colorless for a more authentic meth look.
oh wellsies.



typed up a little note.



found another excuse to use washi tape on something.


another excuse to use my stamps.
{still working on a straight line}


and sent the care package off to my family
so they could rot their teeth out.
if they eat all that rock candy
{which is a total sugar bomb}
they're going to look like they have meth mouth.
i hope they throw it away.

i had so much fun pulling this package together.
time well spent, right?

the REAL question is:
who's gonna be the lucky recipient of a batch of boob cookies
made from leftover candy cane twist cookie dough 
around the holidays?
