Spring Feels Like
April 24, 2011
look just left of the middle, see that sweet bug? Spring feels like sunglasses, forsythia, ponds and frisbee. Yard clean up, muddy driveways, yellow blossoms. New life. Frogs serenading, catkins, and lilac buds. Seedlings and new shoots. A sunny day spent outdoors with friends. This feels like the first week ...
Going to the Woods
April 22, 2011

The Girl's Got Style
April 9, 2011
Or at the very least she's got a lot of spunk and fashion "ingenuity". I love Brienne's unique sense of fashion and the way she pairs her reds, pinks, blues and purples. The more patterns, stripes, flowers and outrageously loud pink the better. Here she is looking like a gypsy ...
