... meeting julie {shabbyjuls} in real life {she lives here too!} after planning a coffee talk for two weeks and realizing how much we really have in common. thrifting. all things chippy and old. summer cottage. digital. alameda & vintage chic. our love for jayney. mellowness & truth.
... sharing good laughs & getting to know one another better over a soy flat latte {me, of course} and a venti iced tea {her}. it was mid-morning perfection.
... finding proof that the pony carnival that maddie & her papa created while i was in chicago was documented on the camera {yay papa!!} when i was downloading pictures from meeting julie.
... seeing this pic of dina & celeste and stealing it from dina's flickr pool and hearing the words "dinah wackley" and remembering all the crazy laughs and good pizza we had at cha. i miss you girls something fierce!!
... seeing this on holly's blog and going and instantly needing to do it myself. those are some good words i've been using!
... that i have been spending every evening since getting home from chicago, oh... and nap time!, sitting in my favorite chair reading the host and loving it more than i thought i would. i read all the reviews and i still bought it in sfo on my way to chicago last week and now i am happy i did {but i'm only about 1/3 of the way through, no spoilers, k?}. and can i ask... how many of you will be buying breaking dawn on august 2nd? i can't wait!
... seeing that this friend and this amazing friend gave me the sweetest honors with a blog award. thank you sweeties!
... being there for a friend and knowing that she truly knows i have her back 1000%. regardless of what happens, regardless of the hard decisions she has to make and regardless what comes her way. i will always be there.
happy thursday!
xo
