perfectly pretty in pink

this is actually proving to be more time-consuming than i thought. looking for the perfect item then trying to find the perfect corresponding pic, yeah it's taking me a lot longer than i expected. hence the lack of commentary.

one reason i'm doing this is to spark some inspiration. i've started crafting again. little things here and there. i was just asked if i'd like to consign some of my stuff at a local bookstore. i hardly have enough to keep my etsy store up and running let alone consign or have a booth at a craft fair. since the weather is starting to grow colder and our lives a little less hectic, i'm shooting to get back in gear. i need to set mini goals and a little sweat shop in my craft room. maybe then i'll get some stuff done.

orange you glad...

...this is over! ;)





what you see: my favorite thrift store find this year, what's stocked in our fridge weekly, my orange sweater collection, tulips at the cherry blossom festival and fire on our back deck. and so ends the exploration into the color wheel.

it's been fun and enlightening. we'll have to do it again soon. it's always fun to look at things from a different perspective and then try to capture it in a photo. thanks to everyone that played along. if you're ambitious, i'm thinking multi-color tomorrow. photos that are bombarded with hues!

seeing red

what your see: asian mask in my craft room, bookshelf in craft room, star lantern and my red pumas. it's pretty easy when you have a "red" room.

the color purple

what you see: another macro flower taken in canada and the mardi gras mask katie got me from new orleans this year. this color has been the most difficult to shoot. i was quite surprised on how little we have in the house. the only purple item of clothing i own is a tank top which i am currently sporting. it's not really photo-worthy.

pretty in pink

what you see: us embarking on a disney ride, my vans that i haven't worn in forever, poppies in canada, wildflowers from our walk today, and a fraction of my thread collection.

why so blue

what your see: vancouver, bc, coffee table decor, public transportation, hickory baseball.

the grass is always...

what you see: old navy scarf, paint chips that have been on the master bedroom wall since we moved in (i think i'm gonna go blue instead), aaron's pear stash, our half finished master bathroom (it's all coming down in a few days, i hate wallpapering!), and today's green-inspired outfit. the weather is a bit crummy, so i photographed indoors today.
