Sale Section

Because I accidentally overstocked a few photos, (customer faves at that!), I'd like to introduce you to a new SALE section in my shop. Supplies limited. Good stuff.

Globes & Postcards

Mmmm... Maggie Gyllenhaal. She always does it for me. Last year it took about 3 secs for this to grow on me, and now this year she makes me swoon again. I just love her style. Did you have any faves last night? Honestly, I didn't really watch much of it. I caught some peeks of the red carpet, and basically just check out the dresses online today. I'm such a cheater.

Did you know that Moa and I are in week 3 of our postcards project? It's a really cozy one this week. I hope you check it out.

Have a happy Monday and a happy MLK day.
=)

*sniff*

I had a goal for myself today, to shoot SOMETHING. Not a very detailed goal, no, but I need to set these simple goals sometimes. When I have these simple goals, it's best to come at them from the simplest place. So, I went in the kitchen, grabbed the first thing that caught my attention, and voila-- an onions photo! Then I noticed a little detail... all the hearts the bag makes! It reminded me of Moa's post. =)

Then the doorbell rang. I heard the UPS truck drive away. Hmmm... I didn't order anything, did I? So I scurried out to check. (By the way, UPS person, don't stick my packages in the little pile of snow by the door. That's seems unnecessary. Really.) It was a garden journal! A huge, gorgeous garden journal from two wonderful friends. You might think that's a crazy gift to give someone in the dead of winter, but I'm not joking, I was already sketching flowerbeds, and scouring the web for ideas just yesterday. It's stuff like this that gets me through the time after Christmas, until spring. So, this was the most thoughtful and sweet present. And yes, I'm a baby, it made me cry. =)

{Wednesday Offerings}

Happy Wednesday! That's all I've got. But I did bring some flowers and a bottle. Sort of a deconstructed centerpiece I suppose. =)

On a cold and snowy day...

On a cold and snowy day last week I made my way over to the Louvre exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. I saw a Michelangelo, a Vermeer, and a da Vinci, oh my! And there was one piece that nearly made me cry, but I'll keep that to myself. ; )

I will share the postcard that I wrote to my friend Moa though. Go check it out at TwoGirlsTwoPostcards!

"Insert Title Here"

So. Where has the week gone? The first week of 2010. The new year. Have you done anything new so far? Kept up on any resolutions? I've stayed true to my goal of working out this week, and I'm in plenty of pain to prove it. Lunges are not my friend. Maybe I should look at them as my new BFF instead. One that believes in tough love. Yikes!

I finally developed the first roll of film from the Pentax K1000 that has been entrusted to me. I want to kidnap it and keep it forever just for it's "click" alone. Love! Here are some scans from the first roll. It's teaching me patience and forethought. I dropped of some film from the Holga on the same day, but it won't be done until next week. I can't wait to see those! The roll from the Penny was shot over a couple weeks, the one from the Holga has MONTHS of stuff on it. I've forgotten most of what I shot.

Anyway. Can I share something with you? Now that I'm thinking about postcard number two for this wonderful project, I can't help but not be as free with my posts here. I went somewhere yesterday and I thought I would save the photo for the postcard project, then again, I think I might shoot something else for it. It totally confuses me! I wanted to post some pics of what I did, but since I'm not sure if I'm using it for Monday I had to save it. I know I'll get a better rhythm down as I go, but it's a weird thing to deal with. Am I a total spaz or what? I'd say "don't answer that," haha, but feel free! =)

See you Monday!

Psst!

Hey! Did you see the new link on the right side?

It's a new project that I cooked up, after thinking about what would be fun for 2010. I asked my friend Moa if she'd like to join me in a project, and soon the idea of "postcards" worked it's way into my head.

Two Girls, Two Countries, Two Postcards.

I'm really looking forward to the year and seeing how things develop. And I'm selfish. I love Moa's photography and seeing shots of her life. So now that I've wrangled her into posting something for me once a week I couldn't be happier!

Yay!

His Potatoes and His Syrup

Happy January! Happy 2010!
We are back from our little New Year's trip and I have a few food photos to share. As you maybe can tell, I didn't shoot any of my own food. I scarfed it down so fast I forgot to break out the camera! And the only reason the hubs had any left was because he ordered more potatoes after he liked the ones that I had so much. We are so good at gluttony. ; )

Anyways. Here's a little story about where we ate...

In college, the hubs lived in a house with a bunch of guys near a place called Taran's Marketplace that had the best butcher. We'd always walk up there whenever we grilled, which was basically whenever the sun was shining. The butcher has since moved to a bigger location, and now the building is home to a delicious restaurant with a warm fire, books to the ceiling, tons of light, and awesome food. It's nice to still visit the site when we are in town, sans grill. And my favorite part is that they've kept the old Taran's Marketplace sign on the building, even though it's now called Sara's Table.

It's stuff like that that gets my heart.
