Lex + Loren Resurfaced

It is a slippery slope...

Last year I was introduced to the lovely inspiring romance of Lex + Loren.  These two strangers have filled me with a lot of hope and you can't help but melt.  Sounds girly, I know.  Just give the "save the date" a view and see for yourself! The video has resurfaced in our home and I may or may not have watched it multiple times this morning.  Yikes... like I said it is a slippery slope.  It is fine though, it really is.

It is worth it.  

I really do like these strangers. 

Staying In Please

Today was spent with the intention of doing one of my favorite things- staying in.  With final projects and papers due next week, I decided to shut my door, stay within the confinement of my room, and work.  It is only five o'clock and so much has been accomplished.  I am thankful for work days because it is so thrilling to see the work that comes from just a matter of hours.  The day is not over, so I will return to my music, coffee, pencils, and paints.  Farewell. May you have a great Wednesday night.

RIP Petri

Aye me!  This post comes with some heartache.  A post of remembrance, if you will.

On November 5th, 2011, our dear friend and pet, Petri died at a premature of unknown causes.  If you know my sister, give her a big hug when you see her.  After five years, we have all felt Petri has become a part of the Russell family.  It is sad to see him go, but he will be remembered.  

May the spirit of Petri live forever!

Dallas, Here I Come.

On my way to Dallas to join my family and friends in the celebration of the soon-to-be Joseph and Callie Shumate!!! It is so close and I realize that I have fully entered into the wedding portion of my life. I am excited for this phase. Let it begin.

(this is so exciting)

Come On Anthro.

Alright, so the other day I went to go see Sheila Hicks' exhibition and was truly amazed at her work over the last 50 years.  If you haven't looked her up yet, do it NOW.  She is incredible. 

The real point is... the other day, I, an Anthropologie rewards customer, received an email about their latest window displays.  I can't help it but I got very angry upon reading their inspiration page and the reasons why they did what they did!  They talked mainly of the gourds and nothing, I repeat NOTHING, about the window's obvious connection to Sheila's work.  This makes me a little disappointed in Anthro- just give the fibers genius some recognition.  Come on now.  

A word from Anthropologie.

Payton Turner Revisited

She has done it again.  Turns out, Payton and her husband, Brian, have their own shared wallpaper company.  It is all so great and they will even do custom wallpaper if you email them what you want- a wall of sequins, stickers, animals, family, design, YOU NAME IT! Check  out their website, Flat Vernacular.  When I get my own place, I'll be filling at least one room with one of their wallpapers... it will be my "special" room.
