i quite enjoyed your “little talks” today. Of Monsters and Men is by far the best darn thing that’s come out of Iceland since Bjork! Kristen, those hydrangeas!!!!! gorgeous. and Jamie that BMW shot is priceless! i’m in love with the piano, and i need a “new to me” piano stat! that Hemingway… how handsome was he in that passport photo before all of his life tragedies left their marks on him? that face! his eyes & jaw line are ridiculous! it must have been so hard to pick from his quotes too. they are all brilliant & beautiful; and there is a seemingly endless supply of them. i really like the ones that you chose. what a truly inspiring, gifted & highly influential writer. “Old Man & the Sea” is my favorite. and his flawlessly written short stories are tiny masterpieces. oh, and i nearly forgot, i love the do it yourself photo canvas. i found this website on Ab Chao’s blog that i think i might try http://www.canvaspeople.com/how-canvas-printing-works. totally different concept, but a cool idea for something different. love you girls and your happy blog! happy weekend!! oxo
