new cabinets

We bought some new cabinets for books from an antiques fair today. They used to be used in a repair garage, but cleaned up, they look great in our reading room. Our apartment is coming together, and I will post more pictures as we complete rooms.

cleaning supplies

I just discovered Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day cleaning and laundry supplies. They smell so good, and I'm excited to start cleaning! I don't know what's gotten into me.

new dishwasher

The Bosch dishwasher in our new apartment is so quiet! It makes me want to wash dishes all the time.

summer looks

I like a lot of aspects of these looks, but I don't think I want to exactly recreate any of them (especially Prada's wool socks and sandals). I might try to wear shorts this summer, I like how they look with sweaters on top.

new blog!

Melissa, Tiff, and I have a new blog! It's a photo blog called three please, and you can view it right here. The plan, so far, is to choose a new subject every week, and each pick three images relating to the subject. Keep checking back!

ypsilanti

Here's our new apartment in Ypsilanti. It's the center unit in a 3 unit historic mansion. Of course it will be cuter with all of our things in it. Hopefully there is wood flooring under the carpet.

sayonara suckers!

Just in time for spring, I am out of here! Dustin and I will be living in Ypsilanti, Michigan on March 31 (along with my amaryllis, which finally grew).

red rock details

This time at Red Rock Canyon, I decided to take pictures of lichens and interesting rock details. One photo in particular looks like bacon.

bellagio

When Tiff and Melissa visited a few weeks ago, we decided to check out the Bellagio. It's very fancy. I especially love the Chihuly ceiling in the lobby.

merry christmas, from tiff

I got some blue sky alpaca yarn from Tiff, and made a hat for myself last night. Thanks Tiff!

sneak peek

Here's a look at my latest craft project. This is all I can show, because I don't want to give too much away too soon.

red rock canyon

I celebrated my birthday by taking a scenic tour of Red Rock Canyon. The day started out rainy, but ended up sunny and nice. It looked like there had been a brush fire, as a lot of the small trees and bushes were blackened.

happy halloween

new things

Here's what I bought at Red Rooster Antiques; an old tool caddy (to hold craft supplies) and a 5-loaf bread pan (for who knows what).

red rooster antiques

I finally found the architectural salvage and antiques store in Las Vegas! There are typical junk store antiques in one section, and the most amazing salvaged architecture and miscellaneous stuff in an adjacent warehouse.

ferry to baimbridge island

Seattle is an amazing city. After walking through all the neighborhoods, parks, and downtown areas, we took a ferry across the sound to Bainbridge Island. The island was small and cute, and the boat ride there was beautiful.
