To stamp?

So we have began collecting books for the center pieces and it has been amazing fun. We have found some real lookers.

I just ran across this stamp idea ... I like ... however would i be ruining the beautiful books we worked so hard to find?

Also the custom crest seems to be coming along swimmingly.

Slow Motion Please

So I tried to stop for a second but the world kept spinning, fort lauderdale, atlanta, birthdays, study period, exams, boston and now a mean game of catch up.

Thinking about bands, loved these guys but not sure if I can afford them.




Twirling around with the idea of creating a custom crest for our invites instead of using Hatch.

Trying to narrow down photographers, Phantom has fallen for Maggie Mud BUT I think we should check out a few more.

ALSO my beloved Tall roommate moved out and we have all this extra space that we are not quite so sure what to do with ... furniture shopping is expensive and unweildy. I also see now why peopel can get degrees in interior decorating.

Bean Town

So we got a terrific Thursday flight in and were greeted at the T by one of the Wrenn Cousins. We met their lovely cat and had an in house burrito night. I topped mine with this corn salsa from Traders Joes (that I promptly picked up as soon as we got back to MD).
Friday was an awesome trail, the Freedom trail. We followed the red inlayed bricks through parks, cemeteries, Boston Massacre site, churches, Old South Meeting House, the Old State House and ended with the Paul Revere House. I enjoyed a lot of the grave sites, like where the inspiration of Hester from the Scarlet Letter is buried. During this historical exploring we came upon the most perfect bookstore. It was complete with a fireplace, cats, dusty old books and fancy new ones. We were elbow deep in the dusty old ones, a lot of sneezing from my end. After going back to home base in Jamaica Plains we cleaned up and went back to little Italy for some fine pasta and Mikey’s pastries.

Over the weekend we saw some awesome exhibits at the ICA. A very cute exhibit of downshot photos of rough water with foot notes and a cheeky tattoo exhibit by Dr. Lakra. I also had my first ever Lobster Roll washed down with some fine blueberry beer. Another sweet treat was J.P. Licks, had to include the ever necessary vacation ice cream cone.

Our last full day was started with a craft fair and many many cute bostons trotting along with the masters. Then we strolled Harvard to the law school, where I shook my fist at the Langsdale statue and all his silly ideas on how to teach the law. Enjoyed a street band and then went to a crazy brunch spot for our dinner called Friendly Toast … that is where I went too far. I ordered oddness for food and drink. I ordered Strangers on a Train (jack daniels, expresso vodka, red bull and M&Ms) along with the Old Miss' (texas toast with sweet potatoes on top, with sauage on top of that finally topped off with eggs and a mango habenero sauce). I regretted it on the spot, a bit much really.

We kissed their little Tiger goodbye and made our way back to MD. Good end of 3L trip.

Bridesmaid rough draft

Navy dress and red heels. Possibly a white shawl or cover up so the ladies don't freeze.

I think I might need to work on the shoes more, or see if i can find a dress at a lower price point. We shall see ...

ALSO I have gotten excited about the idea of teacup flowers. Here is sort of the idea:

Wouldn't that be cute sitting on top a pile of books? I should be thinking exams but having a deep internal debate over linen colors.

Wedding glasses?

I know I have said I want to do my own make up because I want to look like myself on the big ol' wedding day ... however recently I have been trolling cheap online glasses and the idea of wedding glasses hit me. Which is probably another pseudo-mask, but I could always take them off (unlike makeup) since I am not that totally blind yet.

So mod:

So hip:

So I sort of really love the second one because it is called East Brewton, which is the same town that my Alabama family is from.

I know they are loud, but I am scared of contacts and if I do it, why not make a statement?

We had already considered having a pair of fake reading glasses to top off the pile of statment books in the table. Too themey? Eh Justification ~ I should probably own a pair of 'fun' glasses anyway.

Be like the Squirrel, girl

The unexpected is always the sweetest.
I crave. Thanks bumble.

The Biden Effect

Honestly I often feel like Joe Biden. I am well meaning but my words and sometimes outbursts can haunt me. Regular foot in the mouth. Which is probably why I should own this shirt:
The Obama store.
