warm reception

a few quick shots of the wedding reception my homie kat and i did last weekend at the bruentrup heritage farm in maplewood, mn. decorations were kept sweet and simple: a few banners and patio lights inside, painted frames converted into chalkboards for table numbers and wedding signage, kraft paper runners with punched scalloped edges, jelly jars with crayons for guests to doodle with during dinner, and of course a little mustache-on-a-stick action for some photo ops (or "photoops" as the sign reads - oops is right!) a member of the wedding party did the farmer's market flower arrangements, guests added thumbprint "leaves" to a tree painting (done by the maid of honor) and signed their names for a cute guestbook, escort cards were manila tags hung from a vintage door. we had tons of fun!

congrats megan and tim!




photoop? oops!


dancin' through the golden hour


glitter and scalloped paper punch power!



i'm incognito taking advantage of some champagne!

turkish delight

guess where i'm going at the end of july?! mexico! two good friend's birthdays (one is turning the big 3-0) are that week and we're taking a trip to celebrate! i've never been on a beach vacation before (nor to mexico - my spring breaks were pretty lackluster), so a few days in the sun at an all-inclusive resort sounds like heaven.

i might have to get one of these hand woven organic turkish beach/bath towels for the trip. they're hand made in turkey with varying types of peshtemal patterns. i'm drawn to the greys but the bright colors would be so great on the beach. which would you pick? available at all organic textiles.

//edit// i ended up picking this one: royal green diamond peshtemal. it's great and graphic, and i'll pick up a grey twin for it when he weaves the next batch in july. playa del carmen, here i come!

lovely looking

i'm a fan of great children's books - i collect them (new and vintage). i think i'll soon have to add this one, by malota, to my library. called el gato y el agua/the cat and the water looks gorgeous! written by cristina gómez garcía and pictures by mar hernández. this and more at the malota shop.

happy birthday, mister nilsson



harry nilsson: the best musician you've never heard of. the man behind songs like "coconut"(you know how it goes...), "one" and he covered "everybody's talkin'" for midnight cowboy. he was buddies with randy newman, john lennon and ringo was in his wedding. he was a humorist, a binger and certainly subversive. the recent documentary "who is harry nilsson (and why is everybody talkin' about him?" is now available on netflix. check him out. even though he's no longer with us - happy birthday, harry.

you don't know nilsson? here's the downlow.
