oh, christmas tree

this is my first year having my very own tree. i may be a little partial, but i think it's pretty perfect.

i finally got around to taking some half-way decent pictures of the house. well, the living room at least. 

midcentury danish armchair mmm

entryway

records, owls, antique sewing machine, & a redwood mushroom bought on our honeymoon

my mom found us a vintage formica dining set for christmas, so this will look different in a few weeks. i'm beyond excited to finally have one. oh, and that dress form? that belonged to my great grandmother, and my mom & her best friend recovered it in japanese paper for me for my high school graduation. it's one of my most prized possessions.

handmade pillows & a babydog

vintage metlox poppytrail dishes 

i'll get around to the other parts of the house someday.

ok, ok, so i haven't blogged in over a month. honestly, i get in these moods where it makes me feel weird. arrogant or something. like, why should i think people want to read about my life? and then when i know people do want to read about my life that brings on a whole other kind of weird. expectations freak me out. but i just have to remind myself that i started this blog for my family & friends to keep in touch and feel like we haven't completely dropped off the face of the earth. and ya know, you want to read about my life, otherwise you wouldn't come here. right?!

anyway, i'll be back later with some pictures from our weekend trip to st. augustine.

love you all. really, i do. 

house guests

clint's mom and sister came down to see us for a few days. 

i love having people in our house. i've started to miss my college apartment, mainly (only?) because most of my friends lived there, and people were always coming over. 

(and i really miss my roommate tabitha and "roommate" brittany)

so consider this your open invitation to come visit! we'll have lots of fun, i promise.

to perm or not to perm?

the thought has crossed my mind every once in a while, and today i think it finally hit me. i think i want a perm. now before you get nervous, let me give you my reasons.

i wear my hair curly/wavy 99.99% of the time anyway, so it would just enhance what i already do.

i've had a perm before.

i can still straighten it if i wanted.

it could be something fun to bypass the awkward length as it grows out.

it's a completely different look than anything i've ever had before. (i had really long hair with my previous perm)

i know a lot of people don't like perms, but it just doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

so, if you've got opinions, i wanna hear 'em.

i know i've been a little absent, but i am trying to remember to keep up with this little thing.

my sick babies

last week, we discovered little dog was in heat. and let's just say, it's gross. i've been spending my time looking out for her, cleaning up after her, and trying to keep her from ruining everything we own. well, yesterday clint decided he would start getting sick too. he came home tonight with a full-fledged fever, runny nose, headache, the works. so here i am, sitting in bed, with my little dog pacing the room, whining, trying to get someone to let her on the bed, and my husband, wrapped up in quilts, taking up way more than his half of the bed.
