Texture


Listening to "Dances Fantastic" by Neva Dinova.

Wow, 5 posts today? I am on a binge here. I really wanted to add this because after I took the picture I really loved the lines and shadows that you see. I've become more observant of textures and find this aesthetically pleasing more than before. Art history really helped. :) I love this picture of the two owls. My mom found this at a thrift store and aware of my addiction to these creatures of the night she bought it for me. A must for my wall! I hope you find it as pleasing as I do.

On another note, Molar, our turtle has lifted his home on his back and is moving it to the other side of the aquarium. A busy bee. Shhhhhhh... you are making so much noise! :) xoxoxo

Thrift Storing..

So as you know I've been working on our wedding that's coming up very soon. It has been a huge work in progress. See all that I've accomplished in my co-blog below.

Song of the Week: The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs- Heads Will Roll (awesome dance riff with fist-pumping notes!)

I actually co-wrote a list of thrift stores around the Bay Area here that I am heading out to soon. I use Google to preview & review thrift stores that I have been to or are scoping out. I would really recommend you using that or until I can find a really good site *hmmm... light bulb*. When you google names or just the word Thift Store everything pops up. You can click on reviews of the business made by other customers. This has really helped me narrow down the shops I have been to. You could really help another fellow thrifter/shopper out and save a wasted trip. :)

I'll add a list of my weekly/monthly thrift stores that I visit soon. So many people have asked for a list... soon my loves, soon. :)

Anyway, it has been a very eventful week. I've been working on the "cake". Scoping out rings. Requesting addresses. Quoting caterers. Oh, and still shopping for decorations. P.s. Does ANYONE know of any dressers dumped on the side let me know?! I am looking for small, inviting drawers as my centerpiece project. Pictures to show up on here and the wedding blog soon! :) Yes, I'm trying craigslist... :p Thanks for reading and happy thrifting! XOXO
