Holy Holga- I'm Seeing Double!

I nearly jumped out of my seat when perusing the pages of urbanouttfiters.com i saw- A Stereo Holga!!! I can't believe it. At $120, I think I'll be holding off until my bank account recovers from my trip to Vegas but Egads!! I can hardly contain myself!! I want one so bad it hurts.

post man brought me love...

So I recently returned from a week in Vegas to find pure love waiting for me at my doorstep: Anthropologie's June 2009 catalog- a collaboration with Hatch Show Print!! I could hardly believe my eyes. The location scout for this issue surely deserves a bonus. Page after page of brilliant eye-candy.... oooh be still my heart

I have been long romanticizing the days of circus trains and traveling performers, the big top and glamourous costumes. I recently received a letter from my grandmother, telling the story of my great Aunt Dodo, who ran away and joined the circus as a young girl. I only wish I had gotten to meet her.

Oh Joy! & Dwell Studio Contest- UPDATE!!

I'm a finalist!! I just got word this morning that I am one of 10 finalists in the Oh Joy + Dwell Studio Contest. With the contest bringing in over 500 entries I am most pleased to be considered. The winner will be selected at random on Friday so keep your fingers crossed for me! Oh Joy will be featuring the finalists all week, so check it out! I desperately desire the Draper Stripe Set for the bedroom in our new tiny apartment - I think this might be the universe's way of making it up to me.

Oh Joy! and teaming up with Dwell Studio for a give away contest. Here is my entry:

I absolutely love the Draper Stripe Duvet Set in ash, the mustard yellow makes me squeal... (really you should hear it, i think i've confused my office mates thoroughly) Paired with the Yellow Oxide Petal Skirt from etsy seller hierapparel
