(and that’s ‘Roid as in “pola” not “hem” or “ster”… for all you wise guys out there… haha)
It’s only Day 1 and there are already some amazing submissions in the Roid Week ’09 pool. Check them out over here and shoot ’em if you’ve got ’em!
The above are two of my humble submissions. Not really my faves but I have a whole week to work on it!
I’m SO excited for Pia’s new book! It will be out just in time for my real birthday.
In cast you missed her last book you should get it. It’s 100% gorgeous.
I love these images by Ellen Von Unwerth … they look like how the end of summer feels.
Not to mention I’d pay very good money to have her hair.
Spotted on Souvenirs
Reading… The Paris Review Book for Planes, Trains, Elevators, and Waiting Rooms
Listening… to Priscilla Ahn… a lot
Keeping… a daily gratitude list. It’s been good for me
Sewing… I sewed a button back on
Watching… Nick & Nora’s Ultimate Playlist – I love it, my friend’s Blog TV show – Supercalifornialist, re-runs of Felicity, my puppy chase her tail
Trying… to downsize my possessions, to eat healthier, to learn French
Making… lots and lots of lists
Congratulating… my friend Chels for making the most gorgeous necklaces (I can’t wait to show you!) and for being the most amazing person.
Buying… Polaroid film, and one more Polaroid camera (I almost promise it’s the last one)
Loving… My friends in Utah who made my mini-break so fun
Wanting… to move somewhere exotic
Playing… along? If so, simply add yourself to the list
I’m officially a half of a year older today and yes, I fully intend to celebrate. Cuppie cakes and candles and polaroids and general joie de vivre. I even bought myself a little pressie. Whoops.
Do you celebrate your half birthday?

Here are some goodies for you:
The prettiest umbrella found on Paisley Petunia
The loveliest flat in Paris. Hopefully my own will be as sweet one day.
Fleabags are way more gorgeous than they sound.
I told you before that Nichole finds the best stuff, like these cupcake pincushions.
Oh, and she made this insanely awesome Perpetual Paris: a perennial calender/photo collage.
In LOVE with Bookbinders Design that Chelsea posted on {Frolic!}
Emily posted her ShopBop faves. They are some of my faves too.
The Lil Bee now has her own baby bee and is sharing some of her favorite childhood memories.
My favorite ladies over at Paisley Petunia are having a giveaway that’s perfect for this time of year. I will be entering for sure.
I’m not really into doggie Halloween costumes but this is pretty much the best thing ever.
“It is a camera. It takes photos, freezing our moments of joy in time”
This beautiful little Polaroid ProCam has a new home… with me. I’ll have to think of a name for him.
“Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq.
So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July,
she couldn’t let go.
No one had the heart to pull her away.”

Aren’t Megan and Chelsea the cutest? Megan was nice enough to drag my sorry bum to and from the airport. And I got to meet Fabruzzio (aka Bruce) her cutest little pup ever. Harlow is very excited to meet him!
