Let me just gush about a few things...

I am going to just have a gushfest right now.
A few things that I am LOVING, in no particular order...

Cute Short Haircuts.
I know that I've gone on about them before, but I am starting to see some REALLY cute short haircuts around lately.
These ladies are all rocking some sweet crops that I am COVETING hard.

THE WEATHER.
It's BEAUTIFUL today, I rode my bike to the farmers market and it was perfect and amazing the whole way. Thank you weather for today!

My Bike.
It's hilarious and amazing. I haven't taken pictures of it yet, because I am still working on it, but it's ride-able now, and just the day before yesterday I strapped a tiny back pack to the rear wheel for a random, makeshift pannier.

AND IT TOTALLY WORKS!

So this afternoon I am going to pick up a second one from Mountain Equipment Coop so I've got a balanced pair. $11 is totally doable.

I have named my bike La Beasty-clette.

I am loving her a lot right now.

The Moss St. Market.
(check out their website here)
Since I just got back from there I am feeling extra lovey towards it. I picked up some beautiful carrots (eating them raw right now in fact) tiny turnips, fresh apple juice, some wild crafted muscle salve, a beautiful tiny little dish to put my rings in at night(from a girl who couldn't have been more than 10), some neighborhood honey (and I'm not even kidding when I tell you it's made BLOCKS from my house. So awesome) some salad greens. And I only took $45 with me!

Oh my god!
So happy right now!

Home Making in the Spring!

I have been thinking a lot lately about looking for a dining set for dining Al Fresco this summer while we're in town. We are so lucky to be able to spend time at the lake. Don't get me wrong. But with new schedules it would be nice to be able to eat outside for weekdays when going to the lake isn't an option. (Geoff is taking summer classes and I now work Monday to Friday!)

On the side of the house I think there is a perfect little hide away spot that gets evening sunshine but is still kind of secluded thanks to the plum tree in front. And wouldn't something like THIS be adorable?


All it needs are some cute cushions (that I could whip up on a free weekend) and a patio style umbrella that I was thinking of picking up from Ikea anyway for summer markets.

OOOH! I am LOVING this idea more and more! Mom and Kristy and I are budgeting for an ikea trip so I could swing this. Maybe.

The laptop that I've been saving for FOREVER is getting further and further away!
(I had to dip into the laptop fund a little while back so it's looking really sad now. And I was SO CLOSE! Grr.)

But I could host summer dinner parties! Like a Lady!

Oh my god now I need to do this for sure.
