what I’m doing/reading/enjoying elsewhere on the internet…

  • Emily Henderson is one of the contestants on HGTV’s Design Star, and I love reading her blog for behind-the-scenes commentary about each episode. Her writing voice is also so friendly and funny–you will love reading it.
  • “The only way to have a truly offbeat wedding is to do what you like. Because if you’re keeping up or rebelling someone else’s status vision, you’re wasting your time and resources.” Ariel (of Offbeat Bride fame)’s take on being an offbeat consumer.

  • Anyone else ever dye their hair Cotton Candy Pink? I did right before our family photos when I was fourteen–my mom probably wasn’t pleased but she wisely brushed it off. Reading The Story Behind Manic Panic brought back lots of Cotton Candy Pink memories!

    I’ve been following your blog for over a year now and have loved every single post. Your button and flower bouquets are fabulous and you have an amazing family. I just wanted to say thank you for the link of “20 things I wish I’d known at 20″. I just turned 20 yesterday and while I’ve learned a few of those, it’s really a great list and I can’t wait to share it with my friends. Also, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent with us in this online world. I wish you the best of luck with CAMP and all of your future endeavors. Hopefully someday I’ll get to order a bouquet from you!

    I heart cotton candy pink hair. Mine is currently purple but it’s also been all sorts of different shades of pink. I heart it. The manic panic story was an interesting read too.

    Currently in to making small details pop in my house. Painted and rewired a chandelier, made a bright pink bulletin board etc.

    And as always, Alice is freaking adorable!

    I don’t like the pink hair because you have the most beautiful hair color! Natural highlights, thick, and perfect.
    Pink?
    Not so much.

    Lately I have been into…
    making galettes with yummy ripe, fragrant summer fruit esp. farmstand peaches & juicy blueberries…

    Gretchen Rubin’s book, “The Happiness Project” & the blogs accompanying it: http://www.happiness-project.com/ & http://www.happinessprojecttoolbox.com/…

    staying caught up on the mundane activities by doing a little each day so I may enjoy the moments that matter with abandon & no worries…

    learning to make my own jewelry…I love the necklace you’re wearing in the photograph on the boat!

    have a beautiful blessed day…

      I want to make a galette! Martha Stewart always makes a pear one on her show that looks really good.
