A Disposable Found : Missing My Best
I found a disposable the other day and man was I happy when I got it developed. A little teary-eyed from missing Sam so much, but definitely happy because this was from one of the best weekends visiting her, Ian & Mo in New York. I wish I could be roaming the land of Italy with her, but I’ve got to get to work and teach some itty-bitties. Hope everyone is having a great week...

Country Living/Dreaming
Lately I’ve been missing the country more than ever. Last week I made a trip to the homestead for the day just to get my favorite country fried steak and eggs and go on a hike. The weekend before that I went to my family’s river house just to get some time in canoeing and fish- even though it was a slim chance in catching anything. High rise denim and 90s Country Hits from...

My New Year : Hopes & Wishes

Happy Holidays - Off To Portugal
In a few hours I will be on a flight to Lisbon. Two years ago, Sam and I went on a whim-and now we will be reuniting again in the most beautiful, majestic city. We made amazing friends, as pictured above who we will be staying with. I can’t wait to share about the trip. I know I have been MIA-but the week before Christmas break as a Kindergarten teacher is insane. When I return...

Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Burns
…for giving me such a friend. I forgot to mention how great it was to see my best childhood friend, Stacy over Thanksgiving break. We’ve been buds since Kindergarten and it’s hard for us to find time in our schedules to meet up-but when we do it really can me majestic. I love this pic of her parents from when they were young loves. I had so much fun with the Burns...
New York Tonight
Right after I send my kinderbabes home, I’m jumping on a bus and booking it to New York. Sam takes off for Italy on Tuesday, hopefully I’ll be right behind her and will be there in two weeks… But I’m still going to make sure I spend every minute hugging her this weekend to send her off with the most comfort and safest vibes. This pic I grabbed of Sam a while back made...
Good Morning, December
Hard to believe it’s already December, but I can’t say that I’m not ready for it. I know I just had a break for Thanksgiving-but having a two week winter break is still needed! I hope I can get my travel plans in order, and I can’t wait to share what I’m about to post to Na Nin this month… The perfect Christmas presents, yes indeed.

Photography By Rhi Ellis
It’s a dreary, rainy morning here in Richmond-which sometimes can be the best kind of mornings. Driving in the rain with a cup of coffee listening to The Band on country roads is surely a favorite to do. These misty pictures by Rhi Ellis are intriguing and they heighten my travel bug more than I thought was possible. See more beautiful work by the 23 year old South Whales native, now...

Saving Up For : Rachel Comey Rufus Clog

So- my goal was to have some of my favorite pieces available by this special date, hoping that a special find would brighten up someone’s day.
Hey there, I like your hair.
If I could get my hair to look like these lassie’s-I’d be out on the town even on a Sunday night.
A Week To Say, "It's Coming Along."
I have been trying my best to be as productive as possible. Checking off my list is what I look forward to every evening. I have been so behind with projects concerning Na Nin, due to focusing on my Kindergarten class, but I am finally getting ahead with my kinderbabes and I’ve been able to focus more on my etsy room and hopefully will be spending every weekend in my studio...

You're So Vain : First Time With Photo Booth

I love seeing all of the different shops and the fun people have with them. Mabon Moon based out of Montana has to be one of the sweetest Etsy’s that I’ve come across. This babe and her gems are beautiful. …And this...

How Nice : Collina Strada
I love these images from Collina Strada. What beautiful bags at a worthy price-at least that is how I would justify it if I ever had the loot for one myself. You should head on over to Need and see what they have from the brand.
