we went camping.

I love the place I call home. 

ModCloth Swimsuit Love

 
 


Ohhh my. I love, love, love these swimsuits. I'm also trying to justify spending almost $100 on a swimsuit....dear me. But it'd be worth it, I know it. Summer is so close! I can't wait!

Just love these suits and had to share! ♥

weekday wanderings: indian summer

lets hit the road jack!

beauty.

the baby brother with his worm. for the record: i was the one who "caught" it. and then proceeded to wipe it's slime on James' shirt.

James and the little brother wrestling

the bestie being a dork. (yes, you are, but I love you...)

cowboy boots. cause no weekday wanderings post will ever be complete without them.

donut. with sprinkles. yes.

through the windshield (window, this time) shot. but I still love it.

 I realize the lighting is terrible...but I love these two shots. singing country music (no, blasting it) is one of my favorite things to do with my best friends ♥

country music ♥

(this one was just too pretty and true to life in coloring to leave out...) it is all really that blue. indeed.

this  week has been beautiful. gorgeous temperatures. gorgeous lighting. gorgeous everything. Tuesday was spent at the lake, touring Ehrman Mansion with my homeschool group...and dude, that house is amazing. Seriously. But afterwards we (being me and all my friends on the field trip too) got to go swimming off the dock there, it was beautiful. Then after James, myself, Becca and Rachel, all went and got ice cream on the lake...to which I didn't take pictures of because we devoured it so quick. Oh, yeah. And the guy at the ice cream stand? he was from somewhere in Europe, and totally adorable...he started flirting with us girls and it was pretty funny...James was less than thrilled though. which made it all the more amusing! ha!

anyway. that is all the wandering I can do for this weekday.

weekday wanderings

my day yesterday was hectic. school pictures in the morning, doctor appointment in the afternoon, and a birthday party for my cousin later. I didn't have the camera with me the first half of the day, but I grabbed it when we stopped by the house and took some shots of the drive to my cousin's; of which I'm going to share. I apologize for all the cross processed effect. but it is pretty much amazing and it got rid of all the gross buggies on our windshield, since these were all almost "through the windshield" shots...ha!

I love where I live. And the places I get to drive because of it. And my cowboy boots. That is all.

glass beach necklace.

I made the coolest necklace last week. Like. Legit. You know how I posted about glass beach? Well. For years I've been collecting pieces of glass from there. It's kinda a thing people do. It's like a treasure hunt. The majority of it is little pebbles and green, brown, and clear glass. There is some blue glass in there, but if you look really carefully, you'll find pieces of ceramic and china. And those are the bestest ever :) I took some of my favorite, but not too loved pieces, and created a necklace out of them. Here's some pics :)

 The blue of this is so pretty.

 Bam. One of my favorite pieces ever. It's green and gorgeous.

 awkward picture. But whatever. The necklace is pretty, isn't it?

It was so simple to make. I used wire, a clasp, glass, and...oh, that's IT! super fun. If you're ever in Fort Bragg, Ca, go to glass beach at all costs. Seriously.
