o'city st. patrick's day parade

Oh boy… I hope you're wearing your green today!!  (I have my pinchers ready, so watch out!)  Of course one special day of wearing green, pretty much isn't any different from any other day of mine…  But I did get to spend my Saturday loving up on a few extra cute weimies…  (You guessed it.  Day made.)  My family joined the Heartland Weimaraner Rescue group, and we got all decked out (humans and pups alike) & we marched (got pulled, trotted…) along the streets of downtown Oklahoma City for this year's annual St. Patty's Day Parade.

We even took 2nd in best dressed, yeah buddy!  Okay now, this may be just one of the reasons why…    

And if that doesn't put a huge smile on your face, well here's a few other favorites from the day!

Okay, not a weimaraner… but my sexy hubby in his green afro, well I'm really digging the vibe here…  

Of course you know I couldn't forget "chicken little"… I put on my mom hat & made her cute little outfit :)

You better believe there's a whole lot more cuteness & tutus & bowties & sequins to be witnessed from this day's festivities… so grab yourself a green beer & be sure to check out the rest!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

a little sunshine...

With summer officially underway, I figured maybe it was time to post my spring pictures… haha.  It's such a pretty time of year, and with the recent Germany grey… well I needed a bit of color to remind me it's not always so blah here.  

Wishing you all a day filled with sunshine… have a good one!

the color green

and if it wasn't obvious already, my favorite color… 

week twenty-seven :: green

{hues}day :: green + grey

1. oh so beautiful paper

2. fabricworm

3. great home interior

4. simple as that

5. veranda

6. decor pad

I'm totally a sucker for any shade of green,
and I must say I'm digging this color combo!
The invites are so crisp & fresh, love the untraditional mix of font sizes,
and you must see the chevron-lined envelopes… to die for.
Renting in Germany means my walls are all white,
but eventually we'll be back in the states and have a house all our own again…
It will be so exciting to be able to paint those suckers with some gorgeous shades…
Oh and by the way, the christmas poster is available in four beautiful hues,
AND you can download it here along with some other pretty printable freebies!

and I almost forgot… the winner of the lovely poppy giveaway is Meg!!
please contact me to claim your prize!

spring's fresh scent

full of promise for what's to come, the rain sprinkles us with hope for new beginnings and breathes life into that which has seemingly been forgotten…

ps~ etsy's addicting and will suck you in, you'll end up looking at the clock & wondering where the time's gone.  you've been warned… now happy shopping!

a spring in my step...

A frail little leaf clings to the fence as if it's trying to hold on to the last bits of winter… but the blooming flowers & budding trees have other plans.  The promise of spring is in the air, with a crisp breeze and the sun's warmth upon us, the cold winter is slowly being left behind…  

"In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head." {Emma Racine deFleur}

 

 

"If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment." {Georgia O'Keefe}  What a beautiful way to think of the world… I always feel that with spring comes new beginnings.  So here's to hoping you're all enjoying the fresh air and to experiencing the happiness it brings to me.

shades of green

in honor of st. patty's day (and my love for all things green)…

ten random things about me:

it seems i have a love-hate relationship with my computer.  there are days it's all i see, and then there are days i refuse to allow myself to even sit down in front of it.  blogging seems so foreign to me, somehow impersonal.  but in this day and age, where it's all the rage, i find myself discovering new things.  finding inspiration.  and in not so sunny germany... well let's just say it's a breath of fresh air to find like-minded people, whether it be in life or in cyberspace.  so how to get this ball rolling??  i suppose i shall start off light with a few minor tidbits about me...  super exciting stuff, i know.  so please try to contain yourself.

one.  my dog is my favorite person
two.  green is my signature color
three.  socks need not match and should always be patterned
four.  i heart photography, graphics, architecture, & design
five.  chairs are a HUGE weakness
six.  i'm often seen with a cup of coffee in hand
seven.  i'm obsessed with flea markets
eight.  i am in love with europe
nine.  random should probably be my middle name, along with procrastination
ten.  i'm def a dot dot dot kind of girl
