Really! Really!
A new year, of new things.

And, — these graphics are bits & pieces of an email blast I put togehter for my friends over at Honeyshine. I bought a few holiday gifts there this season, and want to get back over to take more photos of their shop for you to see!!! The owners are awesome, and their taste for art & fun things is so so great.

More to come on them! But until then, you should just go there yourself.

This past weekend we traveled down to Iowa to spend a couple days with my family, Christmas-style,...and had a wonderful time. We stopped at Worth Brewing the first night, and enjoyed the next days with the following lovely people. They are wonderful...


My brother is the running champion of the Right/Left/Center quarter game, though us city-folk could really use all that laundry money!!! [ Jokes, jokes. ] ❤ Next year!!!!


Feliz Navidad!

I wrote about this random purchase a while back,
and am finally sharing the restoration (ha!) update, here!

It took us most of the summer to gather what we needed for this,
but Andy >> being the awesome handy-man he is,
really did an amazing job finding all the random parts we'd need to fix this up.

This thing is equally embarassing and amazing to ride in.

People yell funny things at you:
"Does it float!?!?!"
"Ahoy!!"
...and you can only laugh.


For those who don't know,...
These were introduced in the 70's, because, well—they're awesome.

We're bringin' it back! The people-powered-vehicle!!!

...and if you can't find an old one to fix up >> these guys have made a newer version.
WHOA!

❤

Just for fun,
I give you:
crummy iPhone photos,
bundled in a poor quality gif!
HOORAY!

...we've been traveling, and it's been a unique week.
But as mentioned earlier >> i'm feeling very lucky.
I have amazing family & friends,
and a really handsome husband { swoon }...

The road was good to us this past week: truly refreshing.
God blessed nature, that's for sure.

Lotsolove + ❤

Lots of good family time these days, and more to come.
Taking a little time for me,
and [happily] making the most of what I have.

It seems appropriate—and maybe expected,
but i'm thankful these days...
...thankful that someone else is in charge—guiding it all.
