Mason Jar Wine:

A friend of mine came over to watch Psycho and drink this mystery wine!  It was an interesting night!  But the wine in the mason jar was definitely my favorite part!

As I was walking down the street these shadows caught my eye!  Somehow it reminds me of piano keys!  Do you see it?

The Windsor:

The sun slowly setting behind the Windsor!

Day 283

B-I-N-G-O:

A walk around downtown will lead you to many random things.  One of the genres of photography that I love is signage.  I have learned a little bit about typography in the past couple months, so signs and fonts have started to take my interest.  And for some reason this one inspired me!

Day 282

Fair & Friends:

The best part about being back in West Texas is the random things you end up doing....well I guess the Fair isn't that random....but it was still fun!

Vuala!:

Remember that scrap booking paper???  Well now they are hanging beautifully as pin wheels!  Such a fun and simple craft that brings a lot of color and modern 3D lines to my room.

Day 275

Vintage postcards:

Yikes I am almost a month behind in uploading my pictures!  Life has caught up with me pretty quickly....I hope to get up to date with my photos by the end of this weekend.


With that said here are some of my all time favorite things!  I love vintage looking postcards!  I started collecting the National Park ones a few years ago and got the Hawaii ones when I was there this summer.  They are right above my desk and every time I see them they make me so happy!

Day 273

Postcard Art:

A friend of mine sent me this lovely postcard.  It is a hologram of very colorful circles!  I loved it and wanted to share it will all of you!  Now it is proudly tacked up on my wall behind my desk where I display a lot of random things that are important to me.

Day 272

Dancing Fingers:

I actually saw a picture of this a few months ago and wanted to recreate it.  I just thought it was clever and for some reason it reminds me of my friend K War.  Don't quite know why.

Day 271

Creative crafting:

One of my roommates made these fabric balls that hang from the railing of the staircase.  I think they are so fun and are a great idea to dress up railings or even walls.

Rangers Game:


Some girl friends and I bought cheap tickets online 3 hours before the game and headed to Arlington to see the TX  Rangers play!  It was a fun little Friday afternoon get away!  And it was even better because the Rangers won.  And then of course fireworks after the game always make it a special event!



August 25, 2011

Here are more funky knick-knacks in our apartment!  One of my favorite things about living here is the accumulation of fun, random things.

Postcard Collage:

I love postcards!  I decided that I wanted to make a collage out of some of my favorites and this is what I came up with.  They are a collection of ones people gave me and ones I have collected on my own journeys.  If you have sent me a post card, look for it in here cause there is a good chance you may see yours.

I moved into this funky downtown apartment!!!!  And here is my new room!  It probably will be a work in progress for several months, probably till I move out even.

Day 261

Austinness:

Austin is by far my favorite city in all of Texas!  We spent the afternoon walking through antique shops, a Mexican American art museum, a very large cowboy boot store, and eating at this local joint.  This place specialized on organic and locally grown foods, featured a vegan and gluten free menu, and was filled with people most would call Hipsters.  This is a perfect example of why I love Austin!


August 19, 2011

Day 260

New Orleans:

As we were pulling out of the French Quarter I snapped this last minute shot of what I believe is a classic view of New Orleans.  I love all the French iron work on basically every building.  Specifically with this building I love the brick that is showing through with years of wear and tear.  In so many ways this is such a beautiful city.

Day 259

The Grand Ole' Opry:

While in Nashville we went to check out the New Grand Ole Opry.  It was neat to see where so many great country legends have performed!

Day 258

Sunset over some state:

We spent the entire day in the car driving from DC to Nashville (an 11 hour drive) and somehow I almost forgot to take a picture for the day.  So here is a glimpse of the sunset over what I believe is Tennessee.

Day 257

Back to the District:

After my family trip to Hawaii one of my best friends flew out to DC to drive back to TX with me.  We spent an afternoon in the city.

This is one of the federal buildings (either EPA or the IRS, I am pretty sure).  My favorite metro stop is Federal Triangle because it plops your right here in the middle of buildings that look just like this!  This sounds soooooo cheesey but it is a magical feeling, like all of a sudden popping into another world that looks so much different than normal life!  Anyways this is me reminiscing about DC.  I miss it if you couldn't tell.
