ALIVE
really struggling here. playing with my camera, feeling so tired. taking pictures of all of these leaf hearts, getting the mail at dusk, roaming around my yard snapping silly.
but seriously, where's all the happiness?
i got asked that question by my best friend today and all i could respond with is:
"FOR REALZ?!"
it's friday and life is good for happinesssakes?!?
so we continue the search.
i am crushing on these photographs:here's to the heart that is lush, green, ALIVE and bursting at the seams with LIFE!

ticking CLOCKS

yes, i DO have a Vintage alarm clock obsession. i especially love the ones from other countries. above is a photo of some of my favorites. sometimes they scare you half to death if people have been toying with them and 5 hours later the SHRILL alarm goes off! seriously, it's TERRIFYING but they are so PreTTy!!!
here are 4 clocks i am tempted to purchase right now but i am exercising restraint

1. vintage dutch alarm clock $25
2. Black Waterbury Vintage Round Art Deco Alarm Clock $35
3. Vintage Russian mechanical alarm clock Vitjaz from Soviet Union period $24
4. Vintage White Alarm Clock $20

and just for fun, here is another shot in black and white that i really LOVE the composition of.xo friends, rachel

SUMMER PainT

yesssssss! we painted today- ALL day. listened to good music and just had ourselves a good old time. here's a picture crazy post of a fraction of what we did.

it was a great sunday. we all got 12 hours of sleep the night before but we did a pretty darned good job of relaxing today:)

MARVIN

oh joy! caroline and i went thrifting today and the moment i spotted this chair i knew it had to be MINE! it was orignally $40 but i ended up getting it for $17. sooooo cuddly and comfy and it rocks- literally, and he spins around and around. the color green is outta this world. i foresee lots of photoshoots and loads of drawing to be done while sitting in him. here are some more fun shots of the chair which we ended up naming Marvin. he's so handsome:)

ready for a fun song by a really fun band?
"Nantes" by Beirut
i'm loving their album "The Flying Club Cup"
perfect summertime jams
