living and dying laughing and crying

i do work.
but on sunday i took a day off since hannah and spencer and I worked so hard at the secret photo shoot on saturday. and, we had a badminton tournament to host.
TRAPPED UNDER ICE lost both games and were quickly eminated and i swear everyone else cheated and i hated everything about those two games.

so i took the night off as well and drank too much wine with a couple other teams. it was pretty much amazing.




but now it's back to work.

keats and yeats are on your side but YOU LOSE

kind is a knitwear label from the uk. they say their third collection was inspired by alice in wonderland and oscar wilde. i'd love to carry this line in my shop, but is there a way i can make encinitas girls love these sweaters as much as i do?

it was possible to marry a cloud

JM finally wrote some stuff yesterday. he doesn't have the best grammar, but he's the greatest poet i've ever met. (i've never met david berman)

why don't you marry it

i wish you could see my shoes and socks in this picture. it really makes the outfit.

sinead has been killing it lately

we're not
spinning
like dorothy

listen here


John I love you
I'm ever so fond of you
Will you wait for me
'till I am heavenly
Oh there's much work to do
But I love you

Oh you're tender
Your names a whisper

I let tears fall like rain
Apple-sized they were
All over her

And through all of those times
When you could have died
This is what you find

There's life outside your mother's garden
There's life beyond your wildest dreams

There hasn't been any explosion
We're not spinning like Dorothy
If you look now you'll see why
Don't be afraid to cry
This time don't let yourself fly
Child
Pick up those dancing shoes
Kick off those wedding blues
These are the ways you can choose

Child your tender
Your name's a whisper

WOW

oh you

Talk about awesome things happening. Miranda July has a new book coming out this month called No One Belongs Here More Than You.

Miranda was first introduced to me by a very smart girl named Tiffany Harker when she forwarded me this website : learningtoloveyoumore.com. Then she made my favorite movie that's not by Wes Anderson called Me and You and Everyone We Know. How could you not want to marry her? She's brilliant, beautiful, funny, a filmaker, writer, performance artist, actor, musician, and the girlfriend of mike mills, maybe. Go to this website and then tell me that you don't feel like reading this book. www.noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com

to me you are a work of art

i found these postcards at a thrift store years ago. when i first stared at them i never thought in a million years that you can still rent these romantic rooms today.

they call this room paris violets

this bathroom has french love letters imbedded in the shower door


we finally went to the real live place while on a road trip over the weekend. the place is full of very spooky romance. phyllis madonna designed the interior 49 years ago and she's my new crush





the carpeting had serious flair

every corner was amazing - you can't see in the picture but this light fixture was made of light blue glass and it looked perfect against the green walls

custom madonna inn goblets of every important color

where there wasn't carved wood and stone walls, the place was dripping with jewels and grapes and sparkly ceilings and over-dramatic everythings

i never pictured myself as the type of girl to plan my wedding before i'm engaged. but i've also never seen such a pink and red room.
