At long last we meet, dear pillow. Maybe no one told sister it was her birthday this week, not mine. I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
And if you were wondering if I bothered with my hair today, my answer would be: Who has time for that?

Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or second hand garments originating from a previous era. The phrase is also used in connection with a retail outlet, e.g. "vintage clothing store." It can also be used as an adjective: "This dress is vintage."
The word vintage is copied from its use in wine terminology, as a more elegant-seeming euphemism for "old" clothes.

Thank you for the introduction, Jessica.

I like these photos by Brooks Institute student Greg Byers, available at UGallery.com. They feel like July 1 to me.

The ladies over at Handle & Spout appear to be having way too much fun at work. This is the kind of gig we all need; my hat (or big, flowery headband) is off to them. I especially like their necklaces and packaging.

For a pre-Father's day dinner last week, we dined at 2 Amys. I love 2 Amy's for three reasons: 1) arguably the best pizza I've had, 2) very Oscar-friendly if you get there a little early, and 3) the "2 Amys" with tomatoes and fresh mozz is totally affordable.
I don't know which looks more delicious: the pizza or those little toes.

Lookie what I bought. I can wear my home state around my neck for just $12. For some reason, I kind of want a Texas, too. Or maybe a Wyoming. Shoulda been a cowgirl.
Get yours here.

I've blogged many a time about photos by my pal Allison Cox. Now, she's in the top three for winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to finetune her skills, thanks to a cool video she submitted.
Help a girl out, and go vote for her video "Me Plus Italy" HERE!

Go, Allison, go!

Five years ago today, I got married to Curtis. Almost five years later, this little guy came into our lives. We are going to celebrate tonight by hanging out all together. It's what we like to do most.

Or Little Lou and Wee Marie, as we like to call them. These cousins (though you'd never know it except for the pug noses) were born just twelve days apart and photographed together at ages five and seven weeks by Allison. Unfortunately, my amiable Oscar couldn't keep his cool during the shoot. Maybe he felt like Elle was stealing the show. I mean, seriously, look at that hair and those lashes. She's a show stopper.
I'm going to have to remind my little guy not to pull a George Michael.
