off on vacation!

DAI:

good morning earlies!

last year at some point i was sitting at pdx early in the morning on my way to california to visit my bff carly. this morning is much the same, although i have a tag-a-long for the trip: my darling husband eric.

im so happy to be in this airport, which is by far the greatest airport in america. end of story. currently, i am using FREE wifi and listening to a live guitarist play me pretty melodies. seriously.
best.airport.ever.

in other news, i found these next few images on ffffound.com and couldn't help but feel inspired to dress a tad more americana than i normally do.


cute little cartigan

girly ruffle skirt

stripes

and a pair of classy flats

and i got this great hat the other day that would finish an outfit like this perfectly. maybe i'll get a picture up of it soon.

good day to all!

our first very merry valentine's day

so eric and i had a mini vacay this valentine's day weekend...but only sorta.

saturday:
no computer day.
so we wondered around the 500sq ft of our apartment for a while...
then i crafted and he worked for fun (but technically work worked).
sunday:
we slept in and then watched movies
while eric worked and i crafted.
monday:
eric woke up with a cold. i took him to work. i changed my name. (finally!)
then i stopped by my mom and my mother-in-law's houses to drop off valentines (and got some lovely daffodils and rhubarb bread in the process!) :)
then i picked up eric early from work. and we went to world market and got a whole bunch of lovely things:

(yes that is chili lime and strawberry champagne dark chocolate!)

(i just can't get over how pretty this pasta is!)
but then we decided we were too lazy to cook any food...
so we ordered chinese takeout. yummm.

and then we sat back and put on saraha.
all in all:
a
very
merry
valentine's day
