how cute are those teeny tiny salt and pepper shakers???

that is all.

i'm back...

holy moly, i have spent way to much time in airplanes lately. don't get me wrong, i love to travel. but i hate flying. which kind of gets in the way of the whole traveling thing... i have been on 12 airplanes in 3 weeks, gross! i even had to use an airsick bag once... sorry for the tmi. so let me give you a rundown of my traveling adventures...

my first trip was to Vegas, which i have already mentioned. vegas was a lot of this...

and a lot of this...

with these loverly ladies...

after vegas i had a few day to recover before jonathan and i headed to tulsa for 2 wedding showers, and LOTS of wedding planning. unfortunately i was really bad at taking pictures during that trip, so I will have to show you once my momma sends me some of them. It was a blast. I really wasn't expecting anyone to throw us a shower and I certainly wasn't going to ask for one, but i have amazing friends and family and they treated us so well. Wedding festivities put everyone in such a great mood, and it made me all warm and fuzzy inside to be able to share it with all (well, most) of the people I love. Plus you get lots of cool stuff!

I spent a full week in Tulsa, and then it was back to Seattle for 48 whole hours before I hopped on a plane for Mexico to be in my best friend's (pictured below) wedding!

Jonathan was unable to attend because of work, so i was forced to stay in an ocean front suit all by my lonesome... awe, don't you feel so sorry for me, haha! here is a picture of my view...

here is the loverly bride and groom pre-knot-tying.

and after a beautiful beach ceremony, we were ready to get down!

we also spent a lot of time on the beach... day and night... it was pleasant.

And now I am home sweet home, and the next time I get on an airplane is when Jonathan and I head back to Tulsa to get married! AHHH! But until then I have so so so much to do. The invitations will be put in the mail tomorrow, i know so last minute. So don't worry, it's not that I didn't invite you, I'm just super behind on everything. Sorry! Luckily I live in a place where beautiful flowers are readily accessible, and today I bought peonies to keep me sane.... ommmm....

Alrighty folks, that's all she wrote for now! bisous!

look who got the scanner to work...

so here are some pictures from my first try with my Holga TLR. For some reason most of them turned out pretty blurry, but every holga is different. I just need to learn her ways...

Outside the Ace Hotel in Portland...

And the rest are pictures from the Tulip Festival! I took 4 rolls of film there, but I wont force you to look at them all. Here are a few favorites. I really like the black splatter that got on some of them. I'm pretty sure it's not from the camera, but most likely some camera tech guys messed up. but i like it!

random old bus hidden in the back of the tulip fields...

and thats all for now... maybe i will post some pictures form vegas soon... after some heavy editing of course :)

bisous!

viva las vegas...

well, it's here! me and my bridesmaids (minus my underage sister/MOH...sad...) are headed to las vegas for the weekend! I know it is a little early for a bachelorette party, but it is not easy to get your closest girlfriend's schedules to line-up... I am so so so excited to see these girls! It has been way too long, but these are the type of friends that we all just pick up where we left off. It's sure to be good good times... yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
