All pieces fair trade, handmade, and beautiful!
Purple pansies
Kayaking with a dear friend
Pretty pottery
Vase made by my Uncle. Candlesticks and platter are McCarty, only made in Mississippi.
Pictures of my grandparents

Vacation

I'm back from hiatus. I took a break because of, well, life.  Since I finished school, I pretty much studied every day for my board exam until I took it (and I passed, wooo!).  Now i've started my first "real world" job and i'm loving it.

Before I took my exam though, David and I took a long vacation. 12 whole glorious days.  Since we've been married, one of us has always been in grad school. We've never had time like this, David even requested the vacation days off last year.  And it also happened that one of my good friends was getting married in out West during the same time. So we started off in California and ended in Colorado.  A perfect trip of memories to look back upon and i'm so thankful for it. Enjoy a few of my favorite pictures:
