    Grays Harbor Lighthouse

    On Saturday, I surprised my husband with some donuts and coffee for breakfast– we woke up around seven am and laid in bed for a while, and then I told him to stay in bed until I got back and I journeyed off to the store while he lay there wondering where the heck I’d gone– and then I asked if he wanted to come away with me. I’d been considering surprising him with an adventure all week but I didn’t decide to actually do it until that morning. So we went off to Westport, where the tallest lighthouse in Washington can be found. My family has gone to Grays…

    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Vintage

    This is the first photoshoot I have ever done by myself in a semi-public place. It was on a country road (I live in the country… ish…) in front of the doors of a community building, so people were driving by every once in a while (staring), and I drove by three times before I convinced myself I was brave enough to stop and take pictures there.

So these pictures are nowhere near the loveliness that Mr. Owl’s are, and it has been FOREVER since I’ve taken my own pictures so I’m totally out of sync with the camera… and also, an essential piece of my tripod is…

    Things I Want: Red and White

    Red Dress/Owl Sweater/Lip Balm/Teacup/Gloves/Heels/Whale Case/Red Skirt /Cream Dress/Bow Heels/Rose Earrings/Heart Spoon/Bow Sweater/Owl Dress I think I have finally been  bit by the Modcloth bug. Since purchasing my very first Modcloth Items — these tights, for my wedding, and these shoes… because I needed them…– I have been unable to leave the site alone, and I’ve been drooling over SO many items lately. I think my Modcloth Wishlists might become a weekly thing. I bought the Mariachi Knows Best dress for my wedding rehearsal, because I’m definitely one of those people who will dress up for ANY occasion. Plus, it is the perfect dress for holidays– Christmas and Valentine’s day, especially–…
