The hauntingly beautiful music of, Bon Iver has slowly crept into my soul and grabbed hold. I could listen to these songs on repeat for days. Thankfully, their sophomore album was released today, and I believe this one is going to live up to my expectations. Have a listen.

Bird Is The Word

2011-06-02T19:28:00.003-05:00

Anna, over on An Inch Of Gray, did a post last week on one of the crafts she is planning to sell later this month and when I saw these Word Birds, I was immediately inspired.

It was so easy! I started by printing out shapes of birds that I liked and tracing them onto paper from an old book. Then, I just spray painted some old frames and used spray adhesive to stick the word birds to black construction paper. I am extremely pleased with the outcome!

p.s. sorry for the bad photo quality, pictures were taken on my moblie

What A Spectacle

2011-05-20T18:37:00.003-05:00

After losing my glasses in Mexico (totally worth it) I needed a new pair on the fly and a budget. While catching up with one of my favorite blogs, Jen Loves Kev, I thankfully stumbled upon Warby Parker's website. They offer a complete pair of glasses and lenses for just $95! Even better, they had a try at home program in which you select 5 paris to try for 5 days. That way you know exactly what you're getting.
