The Floorboards hide Secrets by AdamSmith

Hello

2010-10-25T11:11:00.000-07:00

It's been about 8 months since my last post. Why you may ask? Well my dears, life was moving and I wanted sometime to myself and for God. Now I'm at a new school, new people, new location, new beginnings, but I've been missing the old. I have been toying with the idea of recommencing my blog, but piling papers and outrageous amounts of reading have been keeping me away. Now looking back on my busyness I've realized I have been so stressed it's a wonder my hair hasn't fallen out. Something in the past that helped to break up the monotony of school work and channel my stress into something was blogging. So I'm back, we'll see how long it lasts!

Jonathan Adler: Zodiac Pillows

2010-02-04T03:00:00.000-08:00

Now Jonathan Adler is brilliant. His designs are classic yet funky. Case in point: his needle point pillows. With these babies he has definetly taken your granny's ho-hum hobby and did some serious re-design. I am currently loving on his Zodiac Pillows. Now the ever flattering question of "what's your sign?" can be answered by a well designed pillow.

Don't Waste your Precious Life print by Emcee

Just something I learned while away : )

Absent.

2010-01-15T21:45:00.000-08:00

I am so sorry for my long absence. Let me explain myself. I am taking the whole month of January off from anything media related. Basically it is a media fast. So no Internet, no television, no music. Yikes! I am doing this with my church small group as a way to get away from all of the influences of the outside world and to just focus on God. It is hard, especially staying away from everyone’s beautiful and inspirational blogs. But I am glad that I am doing it. I am definitely a slave to the internet, to television, to EVERYTHING! By doing this I feel like it will put things into perspective for me. I will recommence blogging and commenting on Feb. 1^st! I am SO sorry I did not let you all in on this, I just had to cheat to get this out there, I felt bad for just disappearing without an explanation : (

I hope you all had wonderful holidays and are staying healthy. Check back here in February!

Lovies,

Lizzy

It's been a but gloomy here, we had a thunder storm a couple of days ago. I woke up to this rolling thunder that shook the whole house, I thought it was an earthquake at first and I was about to hide under my desk (Cali girl remember?), but then there was this huge flash of lightening and not even second afterward the thunder boomed again. It was CRAZY! Besides the weather I've been preoccupied with school. I'm disappointed with myself that I haven't been consistent with things around here, I'm trying but I'm having trouble keeping up with the site. Any advice?

I'm going to be a counselor at church camp, visit my sister in San Diego and take a little trip to Disneyland.While at camp this week I have limited access to the internet and not much time to check everyone's great blogs, so unfortunately I'll be out of the loop for some time. Real posting probably won't start up again here till July, although I'm hoping I can squeeze in the time to post and get caught up from San Diego. We'll see, so until then, stay true!

Finals are done though, school is out now, summer vacation has just begun, so now I'm back in action, kicking back and taking it easy!

Your Oyster By Lucas & Hayley

Let's Play Tag!

2009-05-18T00:58:00.000-07:00

The lovely Cindy from quaint handmade tagged me in a fun little q&a. Thought it would be a nice start to the week :)

1. Current obsession: Mugs. I haven't used a glass in months. There is something so handy about that handle...
These pretties are from Three Potato Four. They always have a fun assortment of mugs!

2. One item from my wardrobe I wear most often: My cardigans. I practically own one in every color and length so I can wear one almost everyday no matter what the weather! (Unless it is super hot, which it was over the weekend when it got to 100+ degrees!)
How can I afford so many? I buy from places like forever21.

3. The last thing I bought: This fabulous Orange Container from Etsy.
Perfect for all my little crafty doodads.

4. I’m listening to: Blind Pilot, their music is so heart-felt.

Love their album art too.

5. Any Pets? Why or why not: Way too many. The fam and I love animals. The list goes as follows: Rascal, the orange tabby cat, Bradley, the Germanshepard mix dog, Tuxy & Basil, our terrified of every bump and movement Rabbits, Coco, the cranky Cocotile, and Jack M. Crazy Fish, my beloved Beta. We could be considered our own zoo for goodness sake!

6. My favorite holiday spot: This is so tough! I'm going to have to say the greater Santa Cruz area. You've got the Redwoods, the beach, and that one lighthouse my Mom always drags us to.
Pigeon Point! That's the name of the lighthouse. Photo by Koby Guye.

7. 4 words to describe me: Dependable, quirky, thoughtful, anxious.

8. Guilty Pleasure: Leather purses. Oh my pretties how you drain my wallet.

9. The best thing I’ve had to eat or drink lately: My Morning Coffee. Simple yet satisfying.
From the Keep Calm Gallery.

10. Favorite film: Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly.

11. Favorite song: Stay for Good, by Carly Escoto.

12. Favorite Flower: The good old Sun flower.
Probably one of the most photographed flowers around! Photo by Claudia.Ar

13. Who makes me laugh: Anyone really, it's not hard to make me laugh, but Brain Regan does a pretty good job!

Cracks me up every time.

14. First sign of spring: My mother's lilac tree beginning to bloom. That's how I know!

So the great thing about this is I get to tag some other people, hopefully learn a little bit about them and then they get to tag some more people and well you can see where this is going! My choices are Dilly Dallas, Made Sweet & Lovely Little Things. Hope everyone has a great Monday. This is my last Monday of classes for this school year yay!

Hope you all have a terrific weekend, see ya Monday!
