hair.

this is what my hair looks like right now.

i hate it. it's thick and kinda wavy at times and usually looks terrible by the end of the day.

so everyone that reads my is going to help me pick a new 'do. right?

i want:

something more polished (as stacy and clinton would say).

that doesn't involve blow drying or straightening.

possibly vintage or classic? (i.e.; pompadours and side parts)

and finally something that requires very little "product".

leave your ideas in the comments, preferably with a link to a photo.

i'll pick my favorites out of those, and open a poll for all of you to vote on monday.

the person who picks with the winning style/cut will recieve a sweet vintage or handmade prize!!!!!

floor pillow.

made from a vintage montgomery ward bed sheet.
my grandma used to work there when i was little.
it's stuffed with two regular bed pillows tied together.
i'm sure the kitties will adopt it, and i'll never get use it.
i used ApartmentTherapy's tutorial as a jumping off point
and adjusted the measurements to make it easier.
i'm horrible at math.




project details:

tutorial= @ apartmenttherapy

materials = two standard pillows (which were under the bed), one vintage bed sheet (ebay $8), velcro (i had laying around for some strange reason), fiberfill to fill out corners (i buy it every time it's on sale)

time= 30 minutes

modifications= i needed this to fit under my coffee table so, i did a 30" x 30" square.

vinyl sunday.

ed ames- when the snow is on the roses.

i bought this album at a store where LP's are 20 for $2.

the sleeve was so good i couldn't leave it there.

i'm still not sure who ed ames is.

he could have been the indian guy in "daniel boone".

friday faves.

Etsy:

forage shoulder bag from forestbound.

sturdy and well crafted from vintage materials.

oh! if this fabric could talk, it would have better stories than my grandpa.

zoe woodbury-high's amazing ukelele smiths cover.

i secretly want a ukelele, but i know i won't be good at it.

i had a lot of instrumental FAILs in my life already.

first rose.

i've had this same rose bush for about six years now.

it never makes many flowers.

i'm not a very good gardener.

but, i still look forward to the first rose of the summer.

it's later than usual this year, but it's perfect :-)

i hate the fleeting the beauty of a flower.

it's a perfect reminder to live in the present.

i guess we'll always have this moment.
