tulip envy

Since it seems like all of my Utah friends were at the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point and I was not – I am feeling a little jealous. Try as I might I could not find anything resembling a Tulip Festival in Santa Barbara. Hmpf. So I did the next best thing and searched Flickr and found a lots of tulip goodness.




Tulips are my most favorite flower. Ever.

pia’s book


Pia Jane Bijkerk is one of my very favorite bloggers/stylists/photographers/writers/artists. From Australia to Paris to a little houseboat in Amsterdam she is truly an inspiration! Ahhh I’m such a cheesy fan girl but I’m not ashamed. She’s amazing.

Oh yeah. Her book is now available for your purchasing pleasure at The Little Bookroom.


Someone must have slipped me a demon pill today. Because I am feeling mean, mean, mean.


Did I mention how nice the weather was yesterday? Warm, breezy, sunny and a just a little overcast. Perfect. It got windy later but it was mostly perfect. The temple grounds are so beautiful and I had lots of time to wander around snapping pictures. I also had time to call people and actually talk on the phone. I never call people anymore. I am no good at talking on the phone… even with people I really, really like. But if awkward converstations with lots of pauses and “well…s” are your thing then give me a call.
