{inspiration: patrick leger}

i ran into patrick leger's illustrations on boooooom! i love the vintage style and color pallatte.

{inspiration: west side story}

first of all: happy thanksgiving! i hope that everyone's was as wonderful as mine was. also, this is my first inspiration post and i thought i would start it off with a classic movie that i saw for the first time when i was home for the holiday. i was struck by the fashion and styling in the movie, the typography in the closing sequence, and the dancing of course!

{winter fun}

so we had the first major snowfall of the season. it was so pretty outside, it reminded me of the fun i used to have playing in the snow with my dad.

{sit quietly}

i love old grade school science books.

{farewell autumn}

goodbye fall! the days are getting colder and that means that all of the beautiful fall colors have almost disappeared.

{houghton}

some fond memories from a trip to houghton, mi.

{thin ice}

I knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake,
course it was winter when all this was ice.
Thats a hell of a thing to do, you know.
They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew about it?

-walking on thin ice

{nothing's better...}

...than a warm cup of coffee on a chilly, snowy day. i love coffee, but i especially appreciated it today since it snowed here for the first time this winter. it was quite chilly and my little coffee cup warmed me right up.

{pride & prejudice}

i just finished reading pride & prejudice and have been infatuated with elizabeth and darcy's story ever since. one of my new all-time favorite novels.

{universal}

my version of the universe isn't quite as cool as the real thing, but i still like it. {photos: nasa}

{gramma}

my gramma gave me a bunch of her old photos from when she traveled the states in her 20's. isn't she glamorous?

{hello}

so, this is my first post of many - hopefully.
just thought i would say hi!
